    Thin and completly bald

    in Open Hair Loss Topics

    Posted

    Hey guys,

     

    What does it mean when your thin and not completly bald? For example I am thin at the crown and before I got really thin at the top, I was able to pull my dark thick hair out with my fingers. Now thin with fine hair and I tried pulling it out, but its held strong, so I don't get it. I have asian hair I look at where it is thin and I see thick and fine hair growing together.If Fine hair would just grow fast as the thick hair icon_confused.gif would be good. I also see black dots (like pores), so I am thinking that some day the hair will grow there. I am 28, and no hair is falling no more just where its fine hair won't get thinker and fuller. It gets me thinking cause why I am not completly bald or clearly see skalp. So its giving me this hope that it will come back cause hair stop shedding and been like this for 3 years now. What gets me is that no one is bald im family cause I asked. I am youngest of 17 kids, brother is 37-54 still hair and father at 80. My nephew older and my age still have full hair and I hate to get picked on about this.I think what happen is that I was not dieting properly, I was taking hydroxycut and it doesn't make me hungry or crave for food, so I would go to the gym without eating sometimes.I took it 3 years til I relized this happening. icon_confused.gif

    Not an expert, but I think you just need to train it and it will get use to the direction you want it to go. When I had alot of hair and when I have baby or new hair growing wild, I would just come it the way you want it after a shower and soon it should move on it's own. For stubborn hair, gel it. See it this way at least you hair a full head of hair. icon_biggrin.gif

    hello,

     

    The more I read the more I get all this. People are choosing strip cause its close to acurate for hair restoration. I always thought that all your donated hair grows once place.

    My question is, Do doctors use all your grafts or trash whats not need??? Thanks

    also is there a difference in the size of the incisions where the graphs are placed between fue vs. strip or is it the same?

    which would provide for better density 500 fue or 500 from strip? this in regards to graft survival?

    Based on numerous pictures of patients, strip HT is better than FUE, mainly because the survival rate is MUCH higher than FUE. It may be advisable to have FUE for a small session of 500 grafts, even though there is a much lower rate of grafts survival. However, HT is not exactly a walk in the park. I would prefer to add density with a strip of 1000 grafts, which will look like 950 grafts survived rather than a FUE of 500 grafts which will look like 250 survived. 250 grafts will not likely have any cosmetic difference for you.

     

    Size of incision is the same for FUE and strip.

    Anyone know if it works?

    I would be interested to know if any HTN bloggers have had experience there.

    Hey maxxy,

    I been knowing about FUE for about a little over a month now and I really thought I was gonna go with this percedure cause of less scarring. I see alot of people are doing strips on the forum and I am thinking and seeing some after pictures of the donar areas of some people are healed up pretty good. I heal up pretty good, but I like hair cuts that are like #2 clip on the sides. I also came across something I read that, you will see faster results with strip then FUE. True? Anyone, if you have answers also. Thanks

    Hello everyone,

    This an intresting forum to read and I know I'm a little late. I really fully understand alot from this and charlieb, I do wish you the best of luck. I know its hard when it comes to money and being thin on top sucks, but I also understand alot of people's concerns and I am glad to have them on the same boat with me. I know it's hard to pass up on free grafts. I just thought that after seeing "hairthere" sent you his link to his pictures to his amazing status would change your mind. My crown looks like yours and I would have just shaved it to #3 clip. I have it shaved now and it still looks fine, but of course I want hair just to say "I have hair". What I am trying to say is be patient and use this forum cause its here to help us. We are all on the same boat trying to reach our destiny. GOOD LUCK icon_cool.gif

    hello,

     

    I found a doctor by the name Robert Jones, he does his work in Canada. I found him on Youtube with trying to find more about FUE. He seem like a good doctor and well known. I went to his website and I was impress. He said his price unblieveable cause of no overhead, brochure and advertising. I just wonder why no one talks about him on this forum.

    Glad everyting is normal kim.

     

    Dr. Carman

    I am wondering can this be perminat hair loss and thinning around the crown area , due to not dieting correctly. I used hydroxycut everyday, 2 in the moring and 2 before gym. Sometime I would not eat anything before the gym. I took this dietry supplement for 3 years and while I was taking it, I notice hair loss. I didn't think much of it cause I always had thick hair and that its normal to loose some hairs.

    Sometimes running my fingers through my hair and I would catch about 10-15 hair a day. Then it got worse as time goes by and til this day I am wondering, Can it be a permenant hairloss cause I was told I don't have no hairloss in the family. I am number 17 in the family and have 5 nephew thats older then me have thick hair. My brothers are 37-55, thick hair and my father is 80, thick hair. So I am left here scratching my head. PK

    tntkim-

    What you are describing is classic for symptoms of telogen effluvium- which refers to the temporary shedding of hair related to some type of "stressor"- in your case, calorie restriction or "crash diet". The natural hair cycle as it relates to this, and as observed when we transplant hair follicles, is that, after the "stressor", the follicles go into a resting phase that lasts three months. Also, this "three month window" is also a pertinent time line one sees for the onset of the shedding period as well. Hence, what we do (or is done) to our system to "stress" it begins to show up in three months. Conversely, when we "correct" or remove the stressor (in your case resume normal eating patterns, sleep, etc..) it will take another three months to begin to see the results of that change; and, as hair grows slowly (about cm/month) it takes additional months to really appreciate a change for the better.

    Hope that helps.

    Sincerely,
