Basically since i graduated from high school i have noticed that i have been loosing my hair. I really noticed it when i first turned 19 (around November 2004). At this date i took a normal shower and dried off with a black towel. I rubbed my head pretty hard to dry if off and i counted an adnormal amount of hair that fell out of my head. (i have blond hair and it shows up very well in dark towels). Ever since that day about two years ago, i have looked at the towel after drying off my hair and stared into disbelief. I come from a pretty large family. My father has three brothers and one sister and my mother has two brothers and five sisters. My mothers side that i am related to through blood has had no signs yet of any hair loss (including my grandpa and any of his brothers). My fathers side on the other hand... my grandpa is fully bald, bald to the point that he needs to wear a fitted hat to cover himself completly. My dad and his three other brothers have a full head of hair although, and my cousins and my brother have no signs of any hair loss. Roughly i am the one out of 14 on my fathers side excluding my grandpa and females that is having hair loss issues. FOr the past two years i have been able to style my hair to the point where you would need proper lighting to see that i am loosing hair, but now it is becoming more visible. (like some type of exponential formula, where the first couple of years are really slow than it all of the sudden increases like an explosion). I look around in college here, and i think or hypothesize that i must be around the 1% of my class that has hair loss problems. I started taking PROPECIA well over a half of a year ago, and i think that it is a big placebo effect (quit using 2/3 the way through). I also have tried and just stopped using NIOXIN and have found no results there too. Being almost 21, and finding it hard to believe that this is happening so early has made it hard to talk to my parents. Finally last week, i talked to my dad and told him the whole story about the failing propecia and the boosting shampoo. He is willing to help me (financially) with some help. So here is where all of you guys come in... I am loosing hair basically all over my head, front, temples, top, back, and somehow even on the sides. The area around my temples is where it is the most visible. I am going to try to post a couple of pics on here to give you a better idea. I feel that if i wait too long, my chances of a good result in whatever route i take to try to get my hair back will worsen. I am thinking about hair restoration (some type of procedure). Don't know if laser surgery or the basic hair restoration is my best route. And who to go through this procedure with (i.e bosley, or ???) Any reccomondation as to what type of procedure and who to possibly go through would be great. Any type of comment or advice will be greatly appreciated, thanks again your balding 21 year old!!
