hello all!
I am 21, and Ive been thinning slowly now for a while. At first everyone i told thought i was insane for thinking I was. I believe that my hair has slowly been thinning from age 15. I even called the bald truth radio show when i was 16. I noticed that over time my hair has softened up a lot! it used to be thick and rough feeling. As time went on I couldn't use gel anymore because of the "see through" look it gave me. I switched from gel to Got2b spiking glue. I made that change because I saw that water made my hair look like total crap, so I decided I needed something that didn't have water as the first ingredient. My hairline is starting to recede. My widows peak isn't as defined as it once was. The stress is killing me and probably making it worse. I cant even enjoy my youth. Now my question is, where do I start? Should i see a dermatologist? or should I just hit the drug store and foam up my head with Rogaine? My father has a full head of hair, but my brother has thinned out and he has given up on his hair. My brother is 29 now and he just shaves his head and is fine with it. I see his hair and its like looking into the grim future. I wish i could be like my brother and just shave it but i guess I'm too vain for that lol! I have pictures that i took of my thinning. Its thinning all over but mostly at the crown and at the hairline. Even the temples and sideburns aren't as thick as they used to be. This really sucks because people always used to comment how nice and thick my hair was. Now i don't even style it anymore. So what should i do? The only thing I have been doing is using T-gel shampoo. The shampoo helps a little but its definitely not enough. O and sorry if this post is in the wrong forum.
