    Default Very thin hair all over

    Hello guys,

    For a couple of years I have noticed thinning hair, however it appears to be very subtle. A couple of months ago I gave myself a buzz cut to try spot evident thinning areas, however, I do not see the typical MPB horseshoe shape or any localized thinning. I still notice some of the hair I lose is quite thin (miniaturization?), so I wanted to get your opinion. Thanks.

    Hey knee head. I want to congratulate you on taking the plunge on your fourth post. It takes a lot of guts to post on here. Some guys dont make their fourth post until the 5 year mark. You did it in under 2.

    I would consider Rogaine and see if it thickens up your hair. Consult a dermatologist or your doctor before making any moves.

    Thanks, drybone. Although I must confess it is a little discouraging that neither of my previous posts got me much feedback from the community. I'm not sure where the secret lies to start a successful thread.

    It's normal to loose 100 hairs daily, and you look like a NW 1. Are you sure you are thinning? You can loose a lot more hairs than 100 each day if you got TE due to stressful life. Check you vitamins status etc. Don't jump on minoxidil before you are sure you are balding. Minoxidil will most likely make you shed lot of hairs. Seek professionals, they can tell if you are balding or not.

    If you want a lot of responses, you need to a) post some insane troll message and attack other forum members, b) talk about propecia making your dick fall off, or c) make some scientific argument about a future treatment for which you have no information.

    Regarding your hair, you have the hairline of a 12-year-old Asian boy. If you're thinning, it's certainly not evident in those photos. Go see a dermatologist and get a proper assessment before you start spending money on treatments that you might not need.
