So I've not seen this question asked before and was just wondering out of interest. If you decided to have a Hair transplant you went down to the surgery and you were the right candidate for it and had the money to do it, how long does it take from your consalt session to the day your actually sitting in the chair? Is there usually a long wait? I just had no idea and was interested to know! Thank you

Thanks for the reply again! You made some very sound points I didn't think of. I agree with what you said regarding the father issue but my dad, his brother and their dad all have the exact same baldness and as i have thinning in the exact same area am i not almost certain to have the same baldness in a couple of years? The only thing i don't know is what the mens hair is like on my mothers side as she was adopted and has no knowledge of her blood family. I think right now i may be over thinking about my hair again.. before i shaved my head i tried topic the hair concealer and was very happy about my hair and even went outside a lot with out my hat on feeling very confidant. The time in the pub i refered to in my first post was on the day i had just ran out and after the experience of getting chucked out over a hat i felt very low and so shaved my head the next day as a reaction to that night. I think if i grow my hair out again and try the topik again i will stop thinking so much about my hair, and then carry on with the regain and think about a hair transplant a few more years down the line. Do you think that's a good plan? Also the propica again you made a very good point to which i hadn't thought about. The side effect that worries me the most is the erectile dysfunction, if i was to get this i think that would be even worse to me than losing my hair.. I've read that some people who took propica and got erectile dysfunction have it because it's in their mind that they will get it because it says they could in the side effects. I happen to be quite a big hypercondriac person by nature and fear that would happen to me. but do you personally think that propica is a lot better than regane (minoxidil) or would you say the same?

Hi Thank you for the reply! After reading your reply I decided to look at the chart again.I'm basically 4A because my hair is thin all over in that exact location, i do have hair all over it but it's so fine and brittle you can hardly see it. I've been reading up on Hair Transplants and have seen many saying to deffentlly not do it before your 25 due to further hair loss. but as my hair is already thin it is very obvious were all the hair i'm going to lose completely is, it would also make sense as if i lost all the hair were my thin hair is now i would end up with the same baldness my Dad has now. so if you can know were the baldness will be could you not get a hair transplant at a younger age and keep it in mind were you would have to go back to get another one? I have done rogane but i didnt quite keep it up properly and i think i might give that another go. I'm to scared to try propecia because of the side effects. Another question do you think your fitness and diet can have much effect on your hair?

Hello my name is Zack..... I'm only just 21 and I think I've been "losing hair" since I was 16. It has really effected me I don't feel young because i've been losing my hair this whole time and now its got to a point were i think its so noticeable i don't really want to go out to all the night clubs and party with my friends because im so embarrassed by it! I always wear a hat pretty much the only time I'm not wearing a hat is when I'm in my bedroom on my own. I'm so embarrassed about my hair that the other day I went to a pub with a friend for a few drinks and the bouncer came up to me and told me to take my hat off and i did..... but as soon as he left i put it back on this happened twice more and then ended up with me getting man handled out of the pub.... just so you know it wasn't because I was violent or anything he asked me if I speak English and i said no i speak Spanish he didn't take kindly to it I was slightly drunk I usually wouldn't say those kind of things but my hair makes me panic so much! I mean I always think to myself why so young because I feel like if I was 40 then i wouldn't mind but I'm sure you go through all the same thing no matter what age, It just makes me feel like i cant join in with some of the fashion things people do my age and i feel like if i went up to a girl my age she would think I'm like 30 or something all ready and kind of be like get away! I recently shaved my head after the pub incident because i just thought if i tried that maybe i would look good because some guys do and that would be that, unfortunently i dont look so good. I'm very sorry for the long rant of that, I've never talked to anyone about how I feel about my hair and I have a lot of emtions about it that i keep to myself! So i've been looking at the norton scale, but i can't figure out what I am. The really strange thing about my hair is that I actually have hair every were on my head i can feel hair every were on my scalp yet their so thin on the top with my new shaved head in some lights it looks like i have no hair on the top and that i'm all ready fully bald, also just to make clear this isn't like a drama thing because i've shaved my head before when i shaved my head and had hair you could see my scalp through the hair on top. I've never experienced hair falling out, people say that when they shower clumps would come out or when they just ran there hand through their hair it would fall out. This has never happened to me do some peoples hair just fall out with out noticing? I understand it might all be hard to say with out photographs but what would your suggestions be? I've tried regane but maybe it's fair to say not properly. I was wondering if i got a hair transplant it wouldn't cost as much if i already have a bit of hair on top as they wouldn't need as many grafts? would that be true? I'm sorry for the long message and maybe uncertain question, I'm not really quite sure what I'm asking myself but if anyone has any ideas...... Also most sorry for my very poor spelling and grammar.
