Hey everybody! Glad to see i'm not the only person worried about this issue. Well, here is my story:
I first realized my hairline was receding when I was 21 when my manager at the time mentioned something in passing about it. I denied it for a while, but finally, even my mom confirmed that it was true. After that point I didn't cut my hair for approximately 2 years, something I had already considered doing since I did it in high school to donate to Locks for Love. During this time I kept a bandana on because I CANT STAND having hair in my eyes. Right before school started in September I cut my hair, but have kept the bandana as i'm very self-conscious about my hair. The fact I was being complimented on how nice my hair was all throughout high school makes it so much harder now. I know I should just grow up, but it's much easier said than done.
Anyways, now I'm 24 and I want to do something about it. I do plan on bringing it up to the dermatologist next time I go (I have to go several times a year for mole checks) but they're hard to get appointments with around here due to a shortage. Until then, what can I do to help prevent the loss or even help grow back hair? At this point just running my hand through my hair yields several hairs. Not sure if it's important but the hairs do have a white bulb on the end. Also, I previously took accutane but that was well over three years ago..not sure if that matters.
I'm also looking for hair style suggestions. I haven't cut my hair since September partially because I want to hide my hairline but also because I am busy with school work. So any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Pictures would be even better!
Here are a couple awful pictures I took with my cellphone
Any Idea where I am on the Norwood Scale? I don't think I have any balding on the crown. I was thinking 2, but don't really know.
Thanks again for any help, everyone! I look forward to what everyone has to say.
