Hey everybody...I'm new here so let me introduce myself...I'll try keep it short.
I'm nearly 21 years old and for about the last year and a half I've noticed my hair is falling out. In the beginning I doubted it was hair loss so early in my life but I was just kidding myself and not wanting to accept that it was happening haha. I notice it mainly a day or two after washing my hair...on my pillow, in my hands when I put my hands through it and the next time I wash it (in the shower drain and on the towel). Pretty doomed as far as genes go as ALL males from both sides of my family (dad, grandfathers, uncles except 1, cousin and brothers) have gone bald.
Anyways I've accepted it now and know it's gonna happen but just wanted to try my luck at preventing it. In about August/Sept 2010 I started using Nizoral 2%...So it's been over 6 months and I use it at least 2 times a week and sometimes 3 times per week. Now I should mention that I've never really had dandruff as such but from as far as I can remember my scalp would get really itchy and irritated about two days after washing it...In 2010 this used to be a real problem and I'd rub my scalp and find a lot of hair on my hands...this prompted me to do something about the irritation and hairloss.
Since using nizoral this irritation never happens (even if I don't wash for 3+ days)...so in that light it has done wonders. As far as preventing any hairloss goes I'm certain it hasn't done much. My hairline has not started receding yet but thining has continued at a quick rate on the sides and front of my hairline. It isnt very noticeable when my hair is dry mainly because of the way I put my hair...it is VERY noticeable when my hair is wet hahaha. Not sure about the top of my scalp but no one has mentioned that my hair is getting thinner at the back (so i assume it isnt).
This is where u guys come in...what do you think my best approach is from here? Just keep using nizoral?
Thanks for your help =)
