What Causes Low Density in Men's Hair

[austin837]

I've posted in the forum before and couldn't tell you what about or what responses I got - don't remember and too lazy to look.

Bottom line - I think my hair is thinning, though 3 dermatologists and a trichologist (who preformed a microscope test), all say I am ok. The microscope test identified 1.8% of my hair as potentially thin. So obviously that is good news but I am as confused as ever. You can not see my scalp normally but when i push my hair around it is easy to see it. I feel like my density is decreasing...what causes this? Is it possible to have normal thick hairs and decreasing density? How does that work - what is the science behind it? I can honestly say I am not receding at all and my hair seems relatively unchanged over the course of 8 months. I have also been extremely stressed for over a year and have a very dry scalp.

Also - Ive been doing the hairmax laser band and their shampoos and such

Thank you!

Austin837,

Can you specify which areas on the scalp are decreasing in density?

Austin837,

The top of my head i feel like more towards the middle..kind of like a woman's hairloss.

Another question I have is, I have naturally low dht and testosterone...do you think that will help my chances later on of keeping my hair? Like a natural propecia of sorts..
