18 and losing my hair, recently started finasteride.

Yeah I know haha, I'm 19 in about a month or so. Shedding a little more hair than I would usually but I'm taking this is normal. I've read about getting a hair transplant but apparently I'm way too young which is fair enough, how far in the norwood scale would you say I was?

A cause of my hairloss I've recently found out is that I may be anaemic, I've had some recent blood tests and they've came back that I have a lack of red blood cell and white, so the doctors are coming to a conclusion that it's iron deficiency. I read that anaemia can cause hair loss, therefore that might be some reason why I've started so early.

Try eating healthy and balanced diet and avoid all kinds of unhealthy processed and junk foods. Especially eat leafy greens that are full of iron and other healthy foods like lean meat, fish, fruits, whole grains etc. Nuts beans and berries are also known to be very effective for hair loss. Massaging your scalp and hair with olive oil and coconut oil can also stop hair fall and make your hair stronger and more beautiful. Herbs like Aloe Vera, Shikakai, Amla (Indian gooseberries) are also effective for hair loss. So If you're wondering how to make your hair grow fast, just try these natural remedies.

I am sorry to hear you are going through this at such a young age brother. I am almost the same situation as you in regards to my hair loss, with a bit more hair on the temples and a little more diffuse thin throughout. Fin and mnox are your only bet. You may have anaemia or even other physiological issues that need to be addressed, but even after they are, you have MPB. good luck!

I started losing it when I was like 25.. and it took a good 3-4 years after that to get to the point of just buzzing or shaving. I cant imagine losing hair at 18 or 19
