Hi guys.
29 yo guy who is a bit confused whether or not am losing my hair really.
3 weeks ago id never really thought about it before, my hair was always pretty long and had a few greys but apart from that the balding thing seemed ok. Then my mother took ill with a stroke, this obviously stressed me out a lot, and around the same time I feel like my hair wasnt growing over my fringe as much and seemed a lot thiner and wispy. So since this 3 weeks ago not only worrying about my mother (who touch wood is now resting and on the mend) i was convinced i was thinning and very very fast.
All the front of my hair seemed to thin, and i couldnt flick it up at the front as it was so thin, 4weeks ago i was at a party and had it flicked up in a quiff perfectly. Only time it seemed to look ok was when I had washed it but the fringe was a lot thinner and wipsy than i was used too. I would be fiddling with it all day getting obsessed like some loon.
Now ive been to docs and they said they couldnt notice anything had all tests on the blood score apart from thiroid which i get tommorrow and thankfully all came back ok. They said stress can for sure cause hair loss and although i would hate to just clutch at this if i was infact losing my hair, does seem like ever since a really stressful thing had happened i seemed to lose some hair.
As for falling out in shower, i guess yeah there was some but with my hair longer think there is always a few. No big clumps really, in the end there was a few coming off in my hand everytime i dragged my hand across though. None more than normal on pillow or anything like that.
I am just baffled how fast i have seemed to lose hair here.
Anyone got any advice, as if im going bald im going bald its not end of world, and id deal with it like im sure a lot of folk have on here. and im just so glad its not medical. I guess what im asking how much is 'in my head' and how much is it true? and is stress an issue for this type of thing with the timing of it or am i clutching at straws here?
I have added two pics as in my stress i felt i was fiddling with my hair too much i shaved it off to a 3 at the weekend. ha. One is when it was long and i had washed it and the other is with a buzz cut. There is no bald patch as such but the hair on top of head does a bit bare, (maybe this is normal with a skinhead 3 im not sure and cant remember as its been so long since i got one) and obv it looks very thick when long which was a week ago.
family history, my mothers dad had full head of hair at 70 and her brother the same at 45. My father is now bald at 50(started about late 30's) and my uncle been bald since 20's.
any help opinions most welcome, hope you all are well. cheers
please copy and paste.
