    Hair texture changed.

    Anyone else have this issue? When I look at fellow thinning people in public they don't seem to have this problem. Ever since my hair started thinning I noticed my hair is now rough looking (despite feeling soft) and lot of stray hairs sticking up all over the place rather than laying flat. Basically I don't have silly smooth hair. It looks pubic hair, but not wavy or curly, just that coarse looking texture

    Idk if it's just because of shampoos like nizoral or nixion or what (haven't started rogaine or fin yet)

    Thyroid levels are normal but I have super low T for my age.

    Any ideas or can you guys recommend a good shampoo?

    I use Alpecin as an everyday shampoo.

      I recommend getting your Testosterone levels straightened out. Low T can lead to much bigger problems that hair texture issues.

        Ya it's about 250 (average after 4 tests) on the [300-1000] range. Though at my age, 23 I should be around 700.

        Idk what to do because trt will surely cause more hair loss.

          Pubic hair is usually pretty thick. If your treatment is resulting in thick hair, I would consider it a success.

          I'm just joking. How often are you using nizoral. It hasn't happened to me, but I have heard a few people say that overusing nizoral can hurt your hair.

            Once a week. Can't get any less than that!
