I'm only 16

[Illusion]

Yeah dawg I feel you, I'm seventeen and I've been thinning since I was 16 maybe even 15. I do have a little bit of peaks but it's mainly just thinning. I noticed it when I buzzed my head one summer and to my shock the top of my head was noticeably less full then the sides. I use minox but I still shed a crap ton and I think it's mainly just slowed the hairloss down. Luckily for us we are so young that we will probably see a cure, well I shouldn't say cure but we will probably see more decent transplant procedures like stem cell therapy or hair cloning so keep your head up man. Just focus on your grades so you can get a good job and afford a nice hair cloning or stem cell transplant!! And you can be a total player in your twenties.

I get what you're trying to say with this post but for the love of god, to every young balding guy out there: DON'T FOCUS ON FUTURE TREATMENTS!

We can't predict the future. Sure it'll give us better treatments but we don't know how good they'll work (maintenance? Or even regrowth? If so, how much? For how long will they work? Succes rate? etc) and more importantly, we also don't know when it will come out. If you start focussing on future treatments for hair loss then I can assure you that your life will turn into a living hell. Every single piece of news regarding progress or lack of progress will have a big impact on your mood and it's a very bad feeling to not know how the future regarding hair loss will look (even today it's still pretty insecure regarding when treatments that are trialling right now will be available to the public).


Don't look to the future. Follow developments of treatments with scepticism and don't get your hopes up too much. Don't focus on when treatments could potentionally be available, only do that when it's a 100% sure they actually will (even when companies announce things themselves it's usually not 100% sure, esp in hair loss industry -,- ). Focus only on what you can do today to your hair loss imo. That'll be a lot better to your mental health than focussing on future treatments.



Also, slightly off-topic: hair cloning and stem cell treatment (both essentially full blown cures) are still going to take a shitload of time, don't expect that anytime soon.
