Hair loss gene to aggressive for big 3?

[yeahyeahyeah]

I agree with this, I think that some guys go on about how many hairs they are or aren't shedding too much. At the end of the day it is considered normal to shed up to 100/150 hairs a day. People are always saying things like "Propecia/Minox must not be working for me - I'm still losing *** many hairs a day....". I wonder how many of these people stopped treatments that were actually maintaining their hair just cos they worried too much about counting the hairs in the shower.

On the other hand there's the guys that must be BSing because they say things like "I'm shedding 1 or 0 hairs a day so this/that treatment must be working". Seeing as 100/150 hairs a day is normal then I find it very hard to believe these people are really telling the truth, in fact I woulda thought if they were telling the truth it would be a bad thing, I mean hair has to cycle and surely if you're shedding no hairs each day it means there's something wrong.

I feel that at the end of the day the only way to monitor your hair loss effectively is either as Tracy said by taking good quality pictures every 6 months yourself of otherwise see a Trichologist or Dermatologist who can monitor it for you. I started seeing a Trichologist last year and he took temple measurements, pictures and looked for miniturisation with special glasses then showed me by using a scalp camera connected to a screen.

I know it's hard not to feel worried when you see a number of hairs in the shower, I do it myself but it's def not the best way to evaluate if you're losing hair. For one thing there's also loads of elements that might make you shed more one day that another i.e. If you don't wash your hair every day you'll see more hairs than someone who washes it everyday, if your hair is longer you'll notice more hairs than someone with short hair (I expect someone with a short crop prob wouldn't notice any hairs in the shower).

As someone with mild hairloss, I do not shed to the point I can see 150 visible hairs a day.

20-30 on average.

The fact that you can count 150 hairs, means it is noticable. So are probably shedding A LOT more then that.
