Possible Hair Loss ?

**Still-Researching** · 04-21-2012, 09:46 AM

There is no evidence of hairloss in your pictures. It could look like you have started on your journey to get a mature hairline, with a little receded temples but it could be nothing.

Hairloss of 20-100 hairs a day is normal, do not worry. The itching of the scalp however could be the first signs, but please do not get paranoid. Talk to a hairloss expert and let him/her examine you.

If you dad still have his hair at 56 at least you have a fair chance of the same, though there are plenty of exemptions, but its better than if he was bald.

Good luck

It is completely normal for humans to shed up to 100 hairs per day without suffering any hair loss. Some days you may shed less. Some days you may shed more.

The photos you have provided show no evidence that you are going bald. All I see happening is that you have developed your adult mature male hairline, which is completely normal for adult caucasion males.

So it's been a couple of weeks since I last posted here and I've visited my dermatologist since. My derm told me that he saw slight receding at the temples but I shouldn't worry about it at all at my age. He put on some fancy glasses and did a couple pull tests and said that he was positive that I am currently not balding and that I'm going crazy.. However I still feel as if I am losing hair ? I have also stopped itching since I started using conditioners while showering.

Im one of the experts here and trust me on this you are not balding.

I also started like you, receding at the temples. But the difference is that I was losing 150 hairs in the shower and I was losing minituarized hair from other parts of my scalp, thinner hairs falling from my head.

You have balding at your temples because you are maturing. DHT also causes this but the rest of your hair is INMUNE to DHT right now and you MIGHT progress from here in most likely 30 or 20 years.

Just watch out for DHT.

No steroids. No weightlifting.

Let this be a warning and enjoy your youth.

Thank you for the reply, thats comforting coming from you. I have however noticed that I am losing about 50 hairs in the shower nowadays and maybe around 10 or so on either my cell phone or keyboard. The only thing that truly scares me is that if i rub my scalp vicariously I can make an endless amount of hair fallout :s

That's normal. My mother has the thickest mane ever seen on this earth and that's because my grandad has all of his hair at 80 years old, she got the hair genes. She also did that because I asked her and she dropped a lot of hair.

When I shake my head like you, I shed 80 hairs because you're also pulling telogen hairs. When you shower and rub too much you are all pulling telogen hairs.

The problem is when you lose hair that is extremely thin and long and lots of them.

Even if there was 1/1000 chance that you are starting to bald, there is nothing to worry about beucase you are just starting and there is a new treatment HSC coming to market in 4 years.

You'll be good, enjoy your youth for now. Maybe you'll start to bald later, nobody knows what's gonna happen.

Watch out when the hair that falls is thinner than the rest of your hair, as long as it's not from the temples or neck of the head or side burns.

That's how you know 100% sure you are balding.
Try to follow an asian diet, that may also prevent baldness from triggering in your body. Don't take no DHT pills or saw palmetto, etc. Only foods, etc.

Well im not sure about thinner but I have noticed that many hairs that fall out seem to be smaller then the rest but when I shower I get longer strands.

Diameter is what matters.

But diameters vary all over the scalp for example all around the head, front of hairline,neck hair, sideburns. If you have a lot of thinner hair shedding from other than these areas and by thinner i mean diameter not length, these hairs are colorless and it's fine to have a couple on top but not a lot like us.

Don't start plugging them.

What you could do to make sure is go to a hair doctor and he can use a microscope to see this.

But in my opinion there is no need at all right now.
