It may be a good idea to see a psyciatrist as well. Like NG2GB says hairloss bothers all of us so take solise in the fact that youre not alone. Meds are the only smart option for you right now. Good luck

Compliments from one's own mouth never exemplifies attractive qualities.

Jon,

Welcome to our forum community.

Though we can all understand and relate to the emotional impact hair loss is having on you, young patients with minimal hair loss simply are not hair transplant candidates.

In early stages of hair loss, nonsurgical hair loss treatment options such as Propecia (finasteride) and Rogaine (minoxidil) have proven to be quite effective to treat baldness and possibily stimulate hair regrowth.

Talk to a physician about the benefits and risks of these hair loss drugs and consider getting on them ASAP for at least a year (less any side effects) to see if they work for you.

Best wishes,

Anyways, Jon, you may want to look into some nanogen (or dermmatch) -- as it's been known to transform Beasts into Beauties. Also, changing your hairstyle and using some thickening products (waxes, etc.) can work wonders.
