Hello everyone,
I want to describe my issue, which could be no issue for most people . I have realized that there is something wrong with my hairs at the end of November 06. Till that time, I had no idea that I could be loosing my hair. However, than I have noticed that my front long hair (headspring?) are not so full as it have been used to and I have realized that I have bigger temples that before. Few days after that, I have realized thinning hair on vertex since I have never watched my head from this view (who does, except from those who suffer hair loss?
I was very scared, but firstly thought that it could be something related to my lifestyle - last year very few rests, sleeping so little and half of my diet has been coumpounded from fast food meals (in fact I am slim but aware what s*** it is). I have arranged meeting with dermatologist, waiting almost two month and I was told that I am OK, I have LOT of hair and NO lost on temples and I shouldn't worry, don't look so much on my and so on. And if I still have feeling it is bad, then use Rogaine for some period, as it is "general help for growing hairs". Btw., it was dermatologist in one of our best hospitals. I started to believe that from where I am, doctors would start doing something once half of my head is bald. If you look OK, it is OK - no matter that a year ago, you could have +30% hairs than now....
Right now, I am the stage where everyone tell me that my hairs are OK, that I have no tempes (see the pics) and that I should eat more healthy and will be ok blah blah... In fact, my hair is thinning, I shed little more than I used to (about 80-100 hairs per day, don't honestly know) and most of my hair I shed are thick from one half in comparing how is my normal hair thick. If I think about it, my right side was little weaker year before, but of course I did not realized this. Before 9 months, all my hairs have been pretty strong and the same size I guess, no excess shedding. It could start about 1.5 year earlier I guess, not earlier. I think I could be diffuse thinner, I have bigger temples, loosing mostly in front and on top, while at the back are hair as always.
I believe it is best to prevent and to fight against such issue as hair loss is (since there is no general cure that solves it completely) from every view possible. Last days and probably few weeks, I have studied as much as I could - considering Immortal Hair regiment, finasteride only, minoxidil and so on. I don't know how is my hair loss agressive, but it can be pretty much.
Right now, I have ordered Spectral DNC as it seems to be useful than Rogaine (I mean not so greasy hairs after using it).
- except minoxidil, I am also considering 0.5 - 1 mg finasterid if private doctor, which I am going to, give me GO signal
- also considering something from immortal hair regimen, at least top 3 + changing eating habbits in his way (lowering rafined sugar and oils)
- using another anti-androgens like topical spironolactone, nizoral, tricoming, Azaic acid
- taking many other supplements which could help with this (zinek, biotin, iron, omega 3, fish oil etc.)
I hope this long term approach could improve something and also maintain my hair for years. When I realized loosing hair, I was thinking about shaving my head (something like Zinedine Zidane has), but on the other side, I really want my hair and I think that we are in time when more powerful treatements will be ready soon, also HM is coming, so I think after ten years of doing nothing and with new possibilities, I could regred that I didn't do something for maintaining my hairs. Also, I look very young, I am 24 now but people think 19-20 sometimes even 17-18 and when there are girls (if any at all! that choose/like me in the clubs or pubs, they are 15-17 (no, I am really not pedophile if you ask me). So I am used to look young and that people think I am very young and it would be pity and sad to change my look from teenager to 30 years old man within two years :lol:
Anyway, I really believe that diet has some impact - is it just fact that Asians in Asia aren't so bald and when they travel to Europe and start living and eating like Europeans, they are going bald. Of course, someone with perfect genes could eat anything, but other one can have wrong genes and simply start his male pattern baldness by such a crap we are used to eat in our Western civilization.

Firstly, I have really short hair now, much shorter than usual, about 1/2 inch. First photos are with 2 and 1/2 inch lenght.
It loos like it is thin mostly on vertex but it is thin on TOP in general. I dont think that my hair is thinner, I just have much less hair as it seems NO (not even thin) new hair is growing. Also it is thinner on sides and back. Temples are the same as in February.
----------- THOUGHTS ON LIFE WITHOUT HAIR -----------
There were many post I have seen on this issue. I know that I am not at the stage where it is notticable by others, but I really think that best think to do is to live your life as before. Don't get me wrong, I am pretty sure that if I lose my hair, girl won't be turning for me at the street and flirt-eye contact in public or clubs will almost disaper, but I am sure if everyone see that you are OK and enjoying your life, they will accept you and will not make deal about it. And finally you want to be with girl that respect you for what you are. If you think that she sould be beautiful too, than you have to offer something and be simply good catch for her - just be very good in what you are doing - job, sport, whatever.
Maybe I am lucky, from what you say, here in Europe and especially in my country, girls are not so picky and superficial as many hot girls have balding young guys. Perhaps it is because we are most balding nation in the world, so girls are probably used to http://www.aderans.co.jp/e/company/info ... index.html
And if you ask me, our girls are one of the most beatiful girls in the World, like this one http://i2.ct24.cz/5/1144567428_miss.jpg I understand that some girls don't like bald guys, but in my country, only superficial b*****s that are stupid when you are talking to them would look at you in different way than to other people. I don't know any in my friendship circle.
I think it is really necessary to keep hair shorter, long hair with bald spots really don't look very good. Check Zinedine Zidane for instance, his head is not completely shaved but still looks very good even with bald spot (having it from his early 20's). Also, good dressing style and keeping your head up and shoulders back (not literally! ) makes difference to. Plus there is also key feature called SMILE :lol: it breakes ice almost everytime. With possitive attitude, respecting yourself for your skills and knowledges, you should have no problem with feeling embarrassed.
In fact, about feeling like a loser or something like that - usually you are what you think you are because it can be seen in your eyes. If you think you are loser, than everyone will see you like a looser because without knowing it, by subconscious process that happens into your mind you will start treating like a loser. Also, you can start treating like someone unattractive if you think you are. I have lot of experience with this way of thinking in my life and know how it works - in possitive or negative way.
I know baldness sucks, nothing that makes you happy, but life still goeees ooon and if you worry, you make it double.
Cheers,
Tomas
P.S. I have found lot of useful information on this forum too, so I would like to thank you!
