Hi, I'm 23 years old and losing my hair. I`ll spare you the explaining how this has affected my confidence. We all know what a raw deal going bald is. My hair loss is not that bad just a general thinning on the top of my head. No real bald spots but the hairs are just not as thick as they once were. The worst spot being on the vertex. I have been on avodart for about a year and i have not lost a hair since. But, I have not experienced any significant regrowth. My hair has thickened, but I still have to keep it short and I am limited to only one hairstyle. I was wondering what your opinions on ht's at a young age? I am aware of the risks But why should I spend youth in hiding? I've heard that a quality doctor should provide stand alone results. Does that mean as I progress with baldness the transplanted area should not apear freakish and unatural? I also have very thick hair on the back and sides and I have light brown hair. All plusses when talking about ht's, right? Also, what are your opinions on shock loss? my hair shafts are thin and it probably wouldnt take much for them to fall out. But does shock loss have more to do with the doctor then the surrounding hair? I probably could wait to do this procedure for a few years but by then I will probably be married with kids on the way and will not be able to afford it. So all you guys give me your thoughts. I would like a collective input and there is a lot of expierence in this forum. Any of you that had ht's at a young age I would like to hear about it.

Avodart has worked great for me. I have not lost a hair since I started it, and my crown area has gotten much thicker. I got a prescription for it from the medical wellness center (google it)online it cost about 50 dollars u.s. and came within three weeks. It also comes with six refills. The cheapest place I found online was from globaldrugsdirect. I had to fax them the prescription and some photo id. My prescription came in about three weeks and is genuine glaxosmithkline avodart. The price was 159.00 including shipping. Not bad for 90 capsules. The only knock is that the prescription comes with 6 refills but they will only do three at time. Maybe you could use the same prescription twice? I dunno..... Anyways, I hope this helps.

Im only 22 and i started losing my hair on the crown of my head at about 19, But I had a good head of hair besides that. Now im noticing a general thinning on my hairline and middle of my head. I'm seriously considering a HT but im really worried about future loss. I dont want the doughnut look, or something extremely obvious. I talked to a Bosley consultant, but they seemed like a fast food chain for Hair transplants, You know.....Over 25,000 hair transplants performed, etc. Just curious if any of you out there had a transplant at a young age and what were your results?
