hey guys im 16 but i have been loosing my hair since literally around 13 years old. i was EXTREMELY stressed out as a child, so i dont know if thats part of it. My mom has thinning hair and my dad is completely bald on his crown area. I am currently loosing hair on my crown area, like when i take a shower i have 20 hairs in my hand. The girl i like sits right behind me in Chem class to and im always worried she sees it . Its ruining the best years of my life. What do i do? i really dont want to take and Persription meds, but are there any shampoos or tips you reccomend? thanks alot!

Sorry to hear about your condition. Hair loss is devastating at any age but especially during our youthful years. If you're not ready for propecia and/or minoxidil, you can try Nizoral Shampoo. Have you also considered using concealers such as Toppik or DermMatch? These are amazing products that will give you years of covering up your balding regions. Unfortunately though, it does nothing to prevent your hair loss from progressing but at least you'll feel confident in preventing others from seeing it. Best of luck to you!
