After a shower when my hair is soaking wet you can see my scalp very easily, but thats when its soaking et. When its just damp or dry you can see it at all. I've been having massive loss of hair for around 7 months now I think. So if it was MPB I suspect I would see a lot of recession by this stage or something. I mean I can stand over the sink and rub my head all over and after 5 minutes there could be 100 strands of hair. Would head and shoulders shampoo correct this and the flakey things that come everywhere. There is even the flakey stuff on the hairs that have shed. I guess its time to go to the Dr.s I thought if it was something wrong with me such as a scalp malfunction then it would have corrected itself. So with MPB does it occur how this has happened to me? Where one day your in the shower and all of a sudden your noticing hair on your fingers etc... Or you don't see hair coming out all of a sudden and actually just notice your hair is receded over time or something.

I just wanted to ask. Do I have sudden or gradual hair loss? Is sudden hair loss where it just starts coming out and you notice hair falling everywhere, and gradual hair loss is what happens over time where you notice a receeded hairline or something? I think my hair loss is sudden because as I said my hair just started falling out one day and has been ever since. So can MPB be sudden or gradual hair loss? Or only gradual? I read an article that was saying that sudden hair loss usually indicates an underlying medical problem. Like someone could be highly stressed, a thyroid problem, anemia, poor nutrition, diabetes etc... And gradual hair loss is usually MPB. That's what I read in an article? Do you guys agree with that? Man its getting annoying, I don't want to touch my head anymore. If I rub my head I have hair on my keyboard with heaps of white flakey things. It's quite an annoyance having to clean my keyboard all the time.

How do I do it correctly then? Maybe I have some disease or something thats killing me, so i'm losing hair lol.

Well i'm still losing hair, I don't think i'm going to see a doctor because i dont want to take drugs. It pretty much comes out at the back, sides near my ears and on top. Its suh an annoyance with hair everywhere. Never had this problem my whole life. Anyways here is a pic, I never looked at my crown before but this is what it looks like. Is that a bald spot or is that normal?.. Can you tell if I have MPB by looking at that? Are they signs? Man its just so freaking annoying because everytime i rub my head all these white/grey flakes come off this never used to happen before my hair was coming out. This whole thing was so suden. One day in the shower and I was washing my hair and it was coming out... I didn't worry too much but it still is happening!! My head is also very itchy! http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/8894/august20076ib0.jpg

Isnt this the hair growth cycle.. I thought I could have been in the phase where it can shed for up to 6 months... http://www.ishrs.org/hair-loss/hair-loss-cycle.htm Also my hair comes out even at the very back on the sides top everywhere. I have read many times on baldingblog.com that if its all over the Dr. said it usually isn't MPB. I have actually been under a lot of stress for the past year and at some stages felt like I didn't want to live anymore. I had a crash diet with hardly any meat, nutrients and all that. I'm trying to change this now, but if I have MPB I will go crazy. I know many of you have had transplants, but once you have a hair transplant is the hair the same as it was before it fell out, does it feel and look the same?

You guys all are telling me its MPB, but i'm asking if it could be part of the hair regrowth cycle. I haven't noticed it being "thinner" and when I rub my hands through my hair in the shower and get a few hairs this has been happening since March / April this year...

The shedding occurs all over my hair even at the back.. I thought MPB starts at either the front or crown.

Could it possibly be part of the hair regrowth cycle where it pushes out your current hair for new growth. I mean it doesn't look like i'm going bald..

Hi i'm 16 turning 17 this year and I don't know whats going on but recenly my hair has been shedding. I never used to see any hair fall out in the shower and just when I rub my hands through my hair. In the shower when I wash my hair each time I rub my hands through my hair I could get up to 5 hairs on my fingers. Now my family history is that I have one uncle on my mothers side who went bald very young, but everyone else in my family has hair. My dad is 51 and still has hair. I've noticed that at the crown area if I position a mirror behind a mirror i'm facing I can see more of my scalp than I used to, but the hair shedding has been all over. Back, front, sides, top etc... I've been going through some stress but nothing that could probably cause my hair to shed, and I do have a poor diet. I recently just bought multi vitamin and iron tablets and have been taking them for the past day to see if it was my nutrition. It hasn't done anything yet but it's probably to early to tell right? Could this just be the hair regrowth cycle, where the hair goes into the phase where it pushes the current hair out to make way for new growth. I suspect the hair started shedding around March/April of 2007. Anyway I hope I get replies, cheers! Edit: When I said that when I hold a mirror so I can see the crown area and can see more of my scalp it seems like its more of like a line or path leading to the crown area kind of. You can only really see it when my hair is soaking wet though.
