.....but thought I would try it anyway. I've been browsing through the forums tonight, and haven't found much on my problem. First things first, I'm a female. And I'm only 22. This past year my hair has been falling out at a rediculous rate. Its at the point right now that the few times I leave the house, I cover my head. Its emberassing and I don't know if there's anything I can do about it. I've had long, dark hair my whole life. This makes no sense. I wish I knew how to post pics, you'd understand what I'm talking about. The last time I went to a beautician she said she'd never seen a head of hair like mine, and that there wasn't any hope for it (and asked me if I'd ever had it in tight braids before...nope). Not only is it thin all over now, but I'm developing a scary looking witches peak and the sides/front of my hair are receding before my eyes....definitely doesn't help that my hair is dark either. I don't understand this!! I see all the gals my age with gorgeous, full heads of hair and its really depressing (I can't help but wonder what people think when they see a young, "balding" female). I tried using Progaine but that didn't work (not sure if Rogaine would work, and its horribly expensive). I don't know what else to do. So maybe I'm in the wrong place, if this is mainly for male hair loss. If so, please just disregard my message. Wanted to introduce myself and was hoping to see if anyone had any clues or suggestions on what could be going on. Thanks.
