Hair one day. Gone the next.
I had always had a genetically high hairline, something I was only a little concerned about until I turned 18 when I saw a gradual thinning at my temples. By 21 it was so bad I had to start wearing my bangs out long to cover it. I started modeling at 17, and now I cannot get gigs anymore due to my hairloss, and the gigs I do get they have to really doctor my photos to lower my hairline. I have thinning now in the crown and the temples. I have always had baby fine curly hair even as a child my hair was a problem. I remember my hair was so fine if I combed it too rough It was come out in patches as a kid. Which has exacerbated the problem, making my head look 10 times worse than it really is as you can tell in the before and after photos below. I still wear my bangs a little low and super curly to give off the illusion of a symmetrical hairline and no thinning on top, so far it has worked, until this year where it has gotten so bad I can’t even hide it anymore. My bangs are just too sparse to get any coverage on my forhead, and my hairline has moved a mile back. I feel like my confidence level has fallen through the floor due to this, I look at least 10 years older than I really am with this problem and feel like I am now in a rush to find someone to date before I get too old looking. I actually ordered some Toppik yesterday to see what it can do for me. I am really crossing my fingers with this one. I also ordered Nioxin to try and combat the problem. I am willing to throw as much money and energy as I can at this problem to try and solve it, short of an actual HT (that I cannot afford at this time in my life). I already tried Rogaine, which DID NOT work on me.
Genetically, I am literally the ONLY male in my family to suffer from hairloss on BOTH SIDES. My father still has a full head of hair and all of my mother’s brothers and my grandfather all have full heads of hair. I must have drawn some kind of unlucky straw at birth, or my hormones are all out of whack. When I went to the doctor to get blood tests done, they said everything came back normal. I also have slight gyno that developed during puberty that never went away which I think has something to do with this problem. I also noticed my hairloss grew progressively worse when I started to grow major facial hair this past year. Another weird trait I should not have inherited. I have a lot of Native American, Portuguese and African American blood in me. I should have a beautiful full head of thick hair and little to no facial hair. It is all connected in my mind and confusing.
Whatever the issue is, I am willing to hunt to the ends of the earth to solve it. I know many people aren’t going to have sympathy for me because their hairloss issues are far worse, but thanks for listening to me at any rate. Take care.
First two photos are from 2004-5, (Back when I was 17 and 18)
The latest ones are from yesterday
Dont mind the buzzed part of my hair in the third photo, that is just the hairstyle I currently have.
