balding/ thinning of hair
-
i think i am balding.
i have this thinning of hair, for quite some time. it's especially obvious on the top of my crown.
im only 19 and my parents dun bald. i'm so god damn worried.
and i seriously don't know what to do.
i also think going to a doctor is too serious for the problem?
any remedies, recommendation or proven commercial products?
anw, i can't decide the type of hair i have.
but, it's oily if not washed, but it's a lil fizzy when dry. so i only know it's oily becoz of my uneasiness( a lil itchy) and touching it. i doesn't appears oily. it's especially so at the scalp. my hair is a lil wavy too.. -
tell u wad i have the EXACT same condition..but for me of course i abit worried but i think its due to genetics...cause my father as little hair..
take it easy lor? shave all? u can go see doc but drug most likely is xpensive n have to be used consistently -
currently it's only the top. i can really still style them up nicely...
shit. and the hair at the top are turning thinner.. -

word of advice...dont comb the more u comb the more hair u dropOriginally posted by o-lua:currently it's only the top. i can really still style them up nicely...
shit. and the hair at the top are turning thinner..
n dont use gel or other hair styling cream
keep hair short
i know this sux but ppl like us got no choice -
i dun comb de, i only use my hair to style. then it's jialat when i use gel, when wax. it's still ok. just now when i bathe, got a lot on my shoulder. tt freaked me out. maybe becoz i nv shampoo for last 2 days ?

DONT USE WAX!!!!!!!!...it will make it much worse....shampoo use gentle ones...if u dont use shampoo, dirt n oil may accumulate making it more oily n prone to droppingOriginally posted by o-lua:i dun comb de, i only use my hair to style. then it's jialat when i use gel, when wax. it's still ok. just now when i bathe, got a lot on my shoulder. tt freaked me out. maybe becoz i nv shampoo for last 2 days ?

Hair loss is inherited from Mum. Acording to the new research in genetics, the future of yr hairloss severity will follow your mum's uncles and grandfather.
-
actually hair loss from genetics doesnt mean u will totally become bald

If it affects your overall confidence and self esteem, then do whatever it takes to remove the cause of it. I suggest you start saving up to seek professional help. Otherwise, you would have to psycho yourself that beauty is only hair deep.

relax. ur hair type is oily scalp. so dun use conditioning shampoo like dove or other hair repair shampoo, they contain alot of wax which appears to make ur hair smooth but as time goes, the wax accummulate and will cause ur scalp to be more oily.
use light shampoo, for frequent use, or u can jus use shampoo for oily hair. dun use shampoo tat are too strong, it drys up ur scalp and will cause ur scalp to produce more oil, which is not gd for ur case. you can try ginvera for oily hair or ginvera for hair drop control, both are light shampoo.
dun try yun nam or beijing 101 etc those are rubbish.
theres no need for u to condition ur hair everytime after shampooing. try to feel for urself if theres a need to condition ur hair, when its really rough and unmanagable then use, so for example 3x a week etc.
if u wan, u can buy (vitamn research products)this is the brand healthy hair caps, search the net and u will noe where is the shop. it blocks out dht and have alot of hair nutrients. stop taking them when u feel tat ur hair is getting back.
wash ur hair everyday, at least once a day, 3 x is a little too much. dun wait for 2 days, its a myth tat washing ur hair regularly cause hair loss. if u dun wash regularly, bacteria etc and the oil will accumulate and its bad for ur hair type.
dun use wax, wax and clay are hard to wash off. try using fast dry gel which is easier to wash off, use styling products tat are easier to wash off. loreal invinsible gel is a gd stylin product. dun use too much, a little will get u the dry hair look. dun let the gel touch ur scalp.
jus relax and dun worry too much. eat healthy, avoid oily food. tats all i can tell u. -

same case for me, hair loss at 19-20. oily hair scape problem, was very worried cause i still young, then i look for infomation on web. this is call male hairloss pattern or whatever...
hairloss occurs due to excessive sebum produced then will slowly clogged the hair cell, resulting thinning of hair and hair loss. thinning of hair will occur before hair loss.
Solutions
there is only one, take mediacation form doctors in neighbourhood. the name is proprecia...medicine cause $90 per month..on this medicine for 2 yrs le..prevented hair loss and thinning but lost hair before medicine will not grow back.
i not sure of glower, bejing 101 and yunan, some say they scammers...bejing 101 can try, read the history before.
try to cut hair short and shampoo daily..long hair easier to drop cause moment larger then shampoo daily to wash away excessive sebum. -
I agree to the points.
Let me add on the points above.
I remember my frenZ told me before his/her doc advise not him not to shampoo his too often as it will wash away the natural salt or minerals found on the root of the hairs.
Ideally, 1 time per day. -
I'm on Propecia
A drug prescribe by a doctor
$90 a month/box
Before that wasted a lot of $ near $1k
on some bogus products 
Now my hair have started to grow back
Before that everytime I looked at a mirror...my head got a shining "glow" -
newly done research say shampoo cause more harm than not using it. Shampoos contain an ingredient called SLS or SLESOriginally posted by babymac13:I agree to the points.

Hmm,don't worry too much man...i too have the same problem except its the hair at the front of my head thats thinning,right now its not obvious but when it gets worse i'm just going to get a buzzcut or skinhead,no point wasting time about something that i cant do much about besides keeping my scalp clean and wearing my hair short.Originally posted by o-lua:i think i am balding.

Your hair loss pattern sounds abnormal to me.. normal male pattern hair loss starts from the temples on both sides, not from the top. Better to consult your family doctor, as this pattern of baldness may be a sign of underlying disease.

oh shit now u worrying meOriginally posted by cornyfish2000:Your hair loss pattern sounds abnormal to me.. normal male pattern hair loss starts from the temples on both sides, not from the top. Better to consult your family doctor, as this pattern of baldness may be a sign of underlying disease. -
Hiya don't worry lah.. if it's just a localised patch of hair loss it's probably due to fungal growth which you can easily get rid off using antifungal preparations from your GP. It's the diffuse type of hair loss that is more worrying.Originally posted by borntolive:oh shit now u worrying me -
don't think so, male pattern balding has different types, there's a diagram on this pageOriginally posted by borntolive:oh shit now u worrying me

ME TOO! I have the same problem...and im only 17..the good thing is i discovered the problem early..cut my hair short..n since beard/sideburns start growing redi..i keep a stylo one to complement the crown..so it actually masks the problem..hairs starting to become thicker but still..not as thick as bfore..not that bad but its worrying lar
