What's The Authenticity Of The Claim That A Person Loses 50 To 100 Hair Strands Everyday?

Lol I literally sh*t my pants when you said NW3. My temple recession isn't that bad.

My hairloss is exacerbated by having fine hair and a naturally ridiculously high hairline (see attached pic of when I was a kid). You're at least lucky to start of with a low hairline. You've got more room to play with.
Yeah, you're right. You did have a very high hairline to begin with.
As far as my hairline is considered, it was low, but not too low. Mysteriously enough, it has come even lower after starting Bicalutamide. I've always had vellus hair on my forehead. I think that they became terminal because of the hypertrichotic effect of Castor oil that I apply.

You have any sides whilst taking bicalutamide?

I have used castor oil before. I didn't notice any difference. How often and how exactly did you apply it?

I don't have any unwanted side effects of Bicalutamide.
I think Castor Oil works on your scalp only when we're taking anti-androgens. You can check its effectiveness by using it for body hair when you're not using anti-androgens. Oral Castor Oil can have hypertrichotic effects too.

Don't think I'd be able to swallow castor oil. The smell alone is gross. I guess I will resume topically applying castor oil to my hairline.
What are your thoughts on biotin tablets? I also take them.

Everything works great for Androgenic Alopecia, but only when you're taking an anti-androgen strong enough for your condition.

I don't think so. It's because I have my hair packed in a plastic shower cap all day, and there's no hair in it. I only lose hair right before shower when I run a comb through it and it's not more than 10. And finally after the shower, I barely find any hair clogging the drain (provided I have very long hair for a boy), they're mostly less than 5. And when I brush it after its dry, I mostly lose less than 10 hairs. On shampoo days, you can increase the number of hairs clogging the drain from 5 to 15, but that barely makes any difference, I am nowhere close to 100. After brushing, I put on my shower cap again.
May be that your observation and I respect your view.

My girlfriend has the thickest Norwood 0 I’ve ever seen and easily loses around 100 day, I think it’s just different for everyone
