Hey everyone, let me start off by saying I greatly look forward to reading through the various threads on the forum and learning from the library of knowledge that it offers. When possible, I also plan on helping others and contributing to the knowledge.
Well, introduction aside, here is my story:
I recently turned 24 have been aware of my hair loss since I was 21 when a co-worker mentioned something in passing. I was in denial until my mom confirmed it months later. I tried covering it up by growing my hair out to donate, which I did this past summer in August. I attempted a haircut to try and cover up the recession but I wasn't a huge fan, and, with a busy school schedule, decided to just grow it out and cover it up under a bandana like the last time I donated my hair.
Now that school is over for the summer I decided to do something about my hair loss; that's where I hope you guys can help! I already decided that I am going to order Rogaine foam, but the dermatologist that I visited today (mole check, since melanoma runs on both sides of the family) didn't want to give me any prescriptions for Fin. He said the last young person he prescribed it to got ED. So, it looks like for now Rogaine will have to do. Is there anything else I could be trying? Multivitamins, shampoos, etc?
In addition, what haircuts would you recommend for me? I have been told I was a NW3, but would like to hear what you guys have to say as well. Here are two crappy cell phone pictures I took a few weeks ago:
I think that's all I can think of for now. I look forward to your advice and what you have to say. Thanks!
