In men, hair often begins to recede from the forehead.
Male-pattern baldness
Women tend to lose hair along the part.
Female-pattern baldness
Patchy hair loss (alopecia areata) is sometimes preceded by itchy or painful scalp.
Patchy hair loss (alopecia areata)
Repeated stress on the hair can cause a type of hair loss called traction alopecia.
Traction alopecia
t's becoming increasingly common for menopausal women to experience frontal fibrosing alopecia, in which the hairline moves back.
Frontal fibrosing alopecia
Hair loss can appear in many different ways, depending on what's causing it. It can come on suddenly or gradually and affect just your scalp or your whole body.
Signs and symptoms of hair loss may include:
Gradual thinning on top of head. This is the most common type of hair loss, affecting people as they age. In men, hair often begins to recede at the hairline on the forehead. Women typically have a broadening of the part in their hair. An increasingly common hair loss pattern in older women is a receding hairline (frontal fibrosing alopecia).
Circular or patchy bald spots. Some people lose hair in circular or patchy bald spots on the scalp, beard or eyebrows. Your skin may become itchy or painful before the hair falls out.
Sudden loosening of hair. A physical or emotional shock can cause hair to loosen. Handfuls of hair may come out when combing or washing your hair or even after gentle tugging. This type of hair loss usually causes overall hair thinning but is temporary.
Full-body hair loss. Some conditions and medical treatments, such as chemotherapy for cancer, can result in the loss of hair all over your body. The hair usually grows back.
Patches of scaling that spread over the scalp. This is a sign of ringworm. It may be accompanied by broken hair, redness, swelling and, at times, oozing.
When to see a doctor
See your doctor if you are distressed by persistent hair loss in you or your child and want to pursue treatment. For women who are experiencing a receding hairline (frontal fibrosing alopecia), talk with your doctor about early treatment to avoid significant permanent baldness.
Also talk to your doctor if you notice sudden or patchy hair loss or more than usual hair loss when combing or washing your or your child's hair. Sudden hair loss can signal an underlying medical condition that requires treatment.
People typically lose 50 to 100 hairs a day. This usually isn't noticeable because new hair is growing in at the same time. Hair loss occurs when new hair doesn't replace the hair that has fallen out.
I lost my 23 year old son to suicide in December. He was severely depressed over several things but one thing I do know was that his hair loss severely impacted him. He became obsessed with it and talked about it nonstop three months prior to his death. He had been taking one of the hair loss medications but it wasn’t working well enough. So then we were looking at hair pieces together online and he found one he wanted to order and before purchase was made he took the permanent route. I miss him so much. I wish he could have held on just a little longer to give the hair piece a try 😩😭
I'm so sorry for your loss ❤
This was painful to read. I’m so sorry for your loss
That is absolutely sad… I’m so for your loss.
😢
I am handsome and when I started to lose my hair rapidly 2 years ago I was depressed as hell! I tried everything from hair products to diet to exercises but eventually i accepted my fate and now I've moved on
Finally got a hair transplant and started taking finasteride. Hairloss definitely impacted my self worth and there's nothing I hate more than people with a full head of hair telling me to get over it.
That's great. Did your transplant turn out well? I know how much of a life-changing experience it is.
@@dualscreengrant it did actually, my hair is still on the thin side BUT it's way better than before and my receding hairline is gone. I'm glad I did it
I'm glad your honest about it and said it's still thin. I think most men imagine that they will have THICK DENSE hair forever after a HT.
@@allandm Hey do you have some Updates? Finasterid? Do you get sides?
Well they're right. I have naturally thin hair and I like my looks way more than when I had more hair. As long as it's trimmed all the way. Chin up, hair isn't everything. In fact it's almost nothing. Literally.
I guess for most of us guys in late teens and early 20s experiencing exponential hair loss being depressed or suic*dal isn't a surprise. Its like one day you are in your early teens, and then suddenly you turn into a deteriorating 60 old man. Its literally like you never get to live your youth. That part of life is literally snatched by you. For men experiencing hair loss in early 20s, you just get to live your childhood and then middle/old age, and you just need to survive your youth years with depression, anxiety, lack of confidence and constant metal agony. Its not about just looking bad, its about looking extremely weird. You look like a literal freak with extremely thin hair in your early 20s. It is a time, where you are at the start of your prime, where you need to build your career, network with people, be confident, travel the world, meet a lot of people, make friends and relationships. And guess what, hair loss destroys all of that. It makes you an empty shell of yourself and take away your golden years where you need to set foundations for a successful life. God really did us men with male pattern baldness dirty.
You're so right, I experienced the same thing, a lot of people with a full head of hair kept telling me it's just hair, just shave it off and don't worry about it, so I did this and I looked like I was 60 year-old cancer patient, the response from those around me and other people was clearly noticeable, the shocked and pitying looks from my circle of friends, the clear rejection of the female population, all the girls distanced themselves, you were ignored everywhere, despite good references, I received a lot of rejections in my professional life , you were out of social life, so to speak, it just hurts, my life has been just survival for a long time, there is hardly any joy and fun in life anymore, we live in a time where your appearance decides your life, If someone then says it's just hair, you have no self-confidence, it's all just your imagination, then I could freak out, the hair loss has destroyed my life, I had and still have a huge panic about looking like my father, the shape of our head is just horrible without hair,
Dumb comment , don’t bring God into this
Dude get over it. Its only hair!
God is shit😭😭 fuck that God
😭😭😭😔
3:56 Oh man, this resonated heavily with me. I don't take selfies ever because if I do I look back at them with sadness and it just makes me hate the way I look even more. My way to cope is going to the gym but even if I have a decent physique, I'm still really insecure about my hair loss. I do joke about it with my close friends but deep down it hurts me to witness myself balding when most people my age are going out in night club looking all magnificent and stuff. Somedays I feel like a subhuman. (M24)
I feel you man. I already had shit cards dealt. I didn't need to loose my looks in mid 20s.
what norwood are u
@@sykrnasmr2282 between 3 and 3 vertex and you?
@@gil-evensstarted at 2 now a 3
Yeah, my hairline started receding in high-school. Around 20-25 i wasnt able to grow it out anymore.
Society really does come down on you. Whether it's banter or not, just telling me i was bald hurt. I couldn't talk to girls.
Once i was around 25 i started to accept my shaved persona and even then i had younger girls tell me they straight up didn't date bald dudes. That it reminded them of their dads.
People say not to care, but Society cares. So it's impossible not to care.
Your story hurt's a lot
@@Ashe-lz2bw That's not a proper sentence.
What are you trying to say?
@@mr.b3168 oh come on. What are you? The teachers pet? U can obviously tell that the added apostrophe after "hurt" was accidental. Complete baboon.
I can totally relate to the story as I went through almost the same experience in my mid-20s. Finally decided that when I turned 30 and my hair did not return (it didn't), I would do something about it. I went for a hair system and probably 95% of my confidence returned. Wish there was this type of forum available when I was going through this but there wasn't an internet in the early 80s.
It's 100% true. The only reason I'm not currently suicidal is because of my aggressive treatment regimen. I use dutasteride and oral minoxidil every day, which helped a lot with hair restoration. Finasteride on its own wasn't strong enough. There is hope as long as my drugs continue to work.
Dutasteride has some warning inside the box. Although it reduced the risk of low grade prostate CA, some studies have shown it increases the risk of high grade prostate CA. That and the lower libido side effect, and developing tolerance, i opted to stop it.
how old are u
I'm currently 39. I started losing hair when I was 19, and I started using finasteride when I was 20.
@@dualscreengrant I'm using finasteride too. But I haven't taken it very regularly. I need to start doing that
What type of bald pattern do you have?
It started with a receded hairline, and then I had diffuse thinning for my hair on top. You should use finasteride every day if you want it to work. If you want to use a lower dose, then cut it to 0.25mg or 0.5mg. It has a short half-life, so it won't work if you use it infrequently.
Im blading now at 33. I hate it so much. I have zero confidence now
go to turkey invest on a hairtransplant its worth it 4-5k and then you can get your confidence back
dont hesitate just do it book the flight
Man at least you are 33. Yes still bad but not that much. I am balding at fcking 18 and it is a different thing than balding at 33
@@unrecognized2068yeah... same here my life has never been the same I was extremely extrovert now basically the contrary, has been more than 10 years and still cannot go out without a hat, I don’t think I will ever except it.
@@MedoJumelOfficial i am sorry for hearing that man. Some say that belief and thoughts can effect our body. So i am now trying to stay positive and faithful for my hair to get better although most people say it is irreversible. Lets see how it will effect my hair loss.
I was 19 when I first noticed a small bald spot. It legitimately brought me to tears with disappointment and frustration. My Dad is completely bald, so I knew exactly what was coming. I spent the majority of my adult life shaving my head and wearing a baseball cap 24/7, which was obviously fooling no one. I have been wearing hair for over 2 years and honestly can't believe the confidence boost it gave me. I wish more bald men knew about how far technology has come with hair pieces and wigs. You could not pay me any amount of money to stop wearing hair.
Do you not fearful of people finding out? Or do you tell everyone.
@@goshdosh3925 I personally don't care about people knowing that I wear hair. I am very open about it.
@@havoc7154 I don't know, for me it like I don't want to offend anyone. Like I.e. other bald people at work. Like I feel like I am being "fake" In sense. But then I think I am doing it for me. No one else.
@@havoc7154 I know but for me I am one of the more younger people at work and also only one balding in out of the young ones. I told some people that I am getting a hair system but unfortunately it spread to people I don't even talk to. So now it like they all know me for something.
First do a search for local hair replacement services in your area. If you can't find anyone that deals with male hair replacement services, look into online sellers for hair systems. Lordhair, etc. Find a shade and size that would fit you. (There are lots of youtube tutorials that can guide you with this). Go to a few different salons and show them some pictures or videos of hair systems, and them being cut in, ask them if they would be willing to help you with installing a hair system. Many competent stylists would be willing to do the cut in for you. It's a bit of a learning curve, but one of the best choices you will make in your life. Check out Curtis and Hair By MHE on youtube for a lot of great advice, too.
I am a lady with hair loss, and I was and I am exactly the same. Stopped going out don't look in the mirror. My life has stopped x
"my life has stopped" I totally felt that 100%😢. Being a balding guy with already thin hair & latge forehead, I refuse to go outside and it makes me even more introvert
Same I’m a woman as well, even with family I get self conscious and want to hide…and I really doubt any guy is gonna want me. It hinders me from getting to know somebody
@@theBakinNoob A woman's attractiveness isnt just hair.
God im so sorry. Women especially shouldn’t have to go through with this. Makes me want to curse at the sky. Wtf
Without question considering a hair system after watching some of your vids. Plan to watch all of them first so I can educate myself. Thank you for doing this.
Dont bother as your wig isn't overly terrible its passable
But this thing is killing me from inside my eyes are swollen crying everyday I'm fed up with this I don't know when I will die due to this
The stress will just exacerbate everything. You have to come to terms with it. Don't let it run your life. Emmerse yourself with the things that you enjoy..
@@ZekeThePlumber86 when the problem is coming from external environment there isn't much you can do doing things you love aren't gonna get you a gf or fix the fact that you look gross in a lot of people's eye
go to turkey and fix your issue get a hairtransplant the only real solution for you
8000 10000 euros

I went through it since it began around 12-14... game over before it ever started
how r u doing now?
Yeah I've been thinking about kms all day 2 months into my minoxidil shed.
I have not enjoyed having a picture taken since I was a child. Nobody in my family had hair loss, I was the youngest in my family and the only one losing his hair because it came from my mom's side. I wanted to get on Propecia when I was in college, but my mom said no way because there is no cure for hair loss and it is snake oil. I basically gave up on life at that point praying for a cure to come out (always just 5 years away).
So now I'm possibly beyond the point of no return and miserable with my past, present, and future. There is obviously more to the story than just my hair, but the hair loss at a young age destroyed what little confidence I was developing. I feel I have not lived a life that was worth living.
:/
feels bad man
I am female and started loosing my hair 25 yrs ago. I was ok at first, now i am suffering from depression, i don't go out and what can be done?
Bald women are gorgeous for me. Don't know about others.. anyway nobody frowns upon a woman who wears a wig. Wear it... :)
just shave it and wear a hair piece or a wig, I'm sure there's people out there like a hair stylist who knows about that stuff and can help you
I'm wearing a cap or beret every time I go out, regardless if I buzz it off or not. I have transition periods where i buzz it off, then can't be bothered to follow up with the maintenance of a look i despise and since I cover my head with something anytime anyways, it doesn't really matter. I despise the bald look and don't identify with it. I don't want to be bald bearded guy N°X million
I feel the same way but I forced myself to never wear my hat or beanie and I thought that would be fine, as long as I tan my head but it's taking fucking like two summers. I'm still not at my goal. My beard is dark so I want to distract from that. The Horseshoe is always at least a little there which fucking sucks.
Listen I started losing my hair in my mid 20's and it hasn't stopped any part of my life. It sucked! All my co-workers know I'm bald on top. I used it as a way to empower myself and swap out hair for styles like women do all the time. My next project is a unit that has a shadow root with a fashion color with the severe undercut you preach against. Haven't decided on pink or purple. The fact I have started going bald on top has nothing to do with the fun I have with it. I'm also not trying to go for a "natural" look. I don't care what people think of me but you are damn right I love my soon-to-be purple hair. We live in a world where women can literally change their hair from one day to the next with one method or another. Who cares how you get it. Your appearance is like a blank canvas however you decide to enhance or alter it is your choice and affects nobody else. I'll say this. The fact I own it and have a happy vibe about me does affect how others see me and my fun. Your depression stems from you caring about what others think. Trust if everyone was bald and it was the norm you wouldn't care about it. You get to an age where the amount of fks you give is so low that all that is left is to enjoy your life. LIVE! LOVE! LEARN!
That's the attitude, bro!
All this because you wear a rug on your slap head you are over reacting with cringeworthy sentiment. Just own it like you own the wigs 🤭
I’ve always felt cursed. The internet doesnt make things better its worse. So many conflicting points idk what to believe. Am i “prolonging the inevitable”? I hate that thought. I just want to have hair like everyone else.
Reading some of these comments makes me sad.. c mom y’all we’ll get through it. I pray to the good Lord for any one dealing with hair loss. In Jesus mighty precious holy name please rebuke the depression from every individual reading this and let them know that everything is going to be just fine.. thank you Lord and I love you. I love you all.. please let’s just keep on keeping on
Your Hair game is on point homie 👍💪
It's funny I've always said the cure for a disruptive fella with a full head of hair who behaved in an overlyaggressively confident manner in society should be for him to lose his hair.His confidence would be reduced by at least 30% and he would no longer be the arsehole he once was.It would certainly bring him down a peg or three.
I was annoyed by it. Never suicidal until I tried Finasteride and that was not related to the hair loss by any means. I know some people claim it doesn't mess with them but it really F'ed me up.
I was on finasteride for a couple weeks and noticed the same thing. It made me incredibly anxious.
Just want to share my experience guys never use hair product to make your softer or anything bc i have been a victim of hair product that burnt my scalp it's been three months now i regret I'm stressing a lot even considering having a hair transplant
It's killing me....
Quick question, I would really appreciate if someone who had a hair transplant done can answer this
Let's say I get the transplant done today, how long will it take for visible difference? I'm talking about FUE transplant to mainly cover the front of the scalp and not the crown
I have gone for few consultations in the past and each time they asked me to wait before going for it. It is so irritating because they could have just done it and I could have started medication in parallel. Instead they asked me to continue with the medication before doing it
Its true u need to stable your hair loss progression before getting a hair transplant or else, it will fall out again. And after u get a hair transplant, it would take a bout 8-12 months to see the result
Im just fucking 16
"par for the course"
I’m thinking about getting over with it
You are so right
I’m 19 and have DUPA (had a biopsy done on my donor area as well as the scalp)
I’m not even tall or good looking so I’m basically screwed.
Sorry to know that. DUPA here as well. Have u ever considered a full cap hair system? Or smp on the sides and back alongside with a "normal" hair system?
@@ronaldojosegroto8746 I’ve considered SMP, but a hair system really only works if you have hair on your donor area. Full cap systems look “off” to me
@@bloopy6166 i get it. I haven't seen many of them actually. I hope u can find the best alternative for your situation. I am going to start mesotherapy with dutasteride on my donor area next week - let's see if can get some regrowth.
@@ronaldojosegroto8746 best of luck, my friend
Is mesotherapy as expensive as it sounds?
@@bloopy6166 thanks. Yes, it is. The price ranges from 340 to 530 reais/session (65 to 100 American dollars), which is quite expensive for Brazilian standards. Where are you from?
Your mic is not working, man.
