So I recently noticed some thinning on the top of my head around my crown so i got on rogaine immidiately. I heard its normal to lose between 50-100 hairs a day. is that true? also ever since i started rogaine i notice a lot of hairs coming out when i run my hands through my hair... i dont think it was like this a few weeks ago before i started. is this normal? can anyone offer any advice? my dermo says im too young for fin and its not needed yet because my case isnt serious.

whew. thank you.

I've been on a week long camping trip and haven't showered but i have long moppy hair so ive been using some hairspray to make it stay nice everyday. It's been 4 days since a hair wash. Last night i ran my hands through my hair a couple times and found so many hairs on my hand and everytime i'd pull on different spots i'd pull out 2-3 hairs. This has never happened before, well not this much. Usually its like a few which i've been told by my dermo is normal. does this mean anything?

so i realized the reason so much of my crown was showing in my pics was because my hair was parted a weird way on the top that day and wasnt evenly distributed on the back of my head so its not AS bad as i thought. however, it is deffinitely thinning i think. i am going to see my dermo today and am going to get a prescription for proscar, will be starting rogaine tomorrow, and that shampoo. i am going to stop this dead in its tracks and i have plenty of room to work with because i still have plenty of hair and its still growing. however, i am noticing when i run my hands through my hair this morning a few times while doing it in the morning i probably had 4-7 hairs on my hands each time but i also havent had a chance ot wash my hair in 3 days so i guess that could be why. there arent really hairs on my pillow or on my t shirts and stuff so could someone shed some light on whats normal loss and whats ot? thank you.

I am going on thursday to my demo. Going to get the shampoo and rogaine tonight... I think im still early enough in the process that i caught it and can fix/reverse it... i care about my appearence so dedication isnt an issue. as far as proscar vs name brand, is one better than the other? money isnt really an issue so i'd like to get whats best. thanks for all the help... i hope this works in my favor.

ok so update i think my hairline might be receeding... now what? how does one tell like tell tale signs? and is there a way to reverse or stop it?

is finasteride or nizoral prescription? or can i get it otc?

thanks... i think its still early enough in the process where i can get hold of this and fix it. ill do whatever it takes

my hairline doesn't seem to be receeding either though... the front of my hair is long and straight all accross.

what is finisteride? what about otc rogaine foam? i wonder how noticeable it is to others in person...

as you can see some pics at diff angles and in diff lights look not so bad or way worse.. idk what to do

I uploaded some pics to my photo album... check it out

my dad and my grandpa are bald. my mom was adopted so we dont know about her. like i said in some pics it looks horrible and in some it looks totally normal... icant upload pics right now but the problem is ONLY on the top of my head... the rest of my long hair is all thick... my front is down to my eyes so i doubt its receeding.

I am 20 years old and am worrying that i may be starting to lose my hair... This makes me nervous because i am a good looking kid with a very pretty girlfriend and am way too young to start this. it would be devastating. I have recently started growing my hair out since last january. It is now late july and my hair is very long all over... front back sides... so it wouldnt appear based on the growth of my hair all over that i would be losing. while doing my hair or washing in the shower i do sometimes see a few hairs on my hand or in my sink which seems to be normal... its never more than 4 or 5 at a time. i read another test is to tug hard on a patch of hair and see how many come out... 2-4 at most from any area. my real concern is the top of my head. a few years ago i stood up in the locker room at the gym and hit the top of my head on a corner of a locker. could this have stunted my hair growth? a few years back my mom had told me she had seen a bald spot on the top of my head but we werent sure what to make of it. now i am getting nervous. like i said my hair is long all over... so i dont think its receding. it falls straight down on my forehead for the most part and the sides near my temple. so it wouldnt appear my hairline is receeding. it keeps growing and all my hair is thick. now at the top of my head is my worry. i take countless pictures and each one looks different so i cant tell if its an illusion of light, me being paranoid, something normal based on me hitting the top of my head, or something to worry about. my hair is also thick everywhere but around that spot. can anyone offer their 2 cents? thanks a lot. also i forgot to mention in my car, my pillows, my shirts, etc. i never see more than a few hairs hairs laying around that are probably a result of me playing with my hair or fixing it. so i am really not sure if i should be worried or if its just me being overly paranoid.
