Hey guys --
Just wanted to share this info with you in case it helps anyone out there struggling right now - I know I did for a something like 3 years, so I know what it's like (also posted this in the hair pieces section).
So I am 24 and started losing around 21, right as I graduated college. It was a tough transition - going into the working world and at the same time dealing with something that made me feel unattractive / killed my confidence - almost a double whammy. I would be lying if I didn't say I was really, really down at points.
Anyways, step 1 was to get on propecia - that really helped and deifnitely regrew some of my hair. I've been on it for all 3 years now.
Step 2 was to discover DermMatch about a year ago - I have black hair, so it works really well on both my crown and temples. This was big - there were days right after good haircuts where I felt "completely normal" / really really good, as I did before the hairloss started. It was then that I realized a big source of my confidence issues (and as a consequent ability to do well at work a bit / general happiness etc) was the hair.
Step 3 was to get a partial frontal piece (temple to temple, just in the front) a couple weeks ago. I said to myself, look - you really have struggled, and there's nothing wrong with wanting to feel good about yourself in your 20s / doing something to restore your confidence. You will have better relationships / do better in the work world / generally be happier.
So I did the measurements and ordered from an online site (PM me if you want all the info - happy to help anyone), and I cannot express enough how well it has worked - it is almost magical how seamlessly it blends in (your existing hair falls on top of it). Even my parents and best friends did not suspect and they see me every day - they just said "wow that's a really good haircut." Two weeks in, and it is just amazing how much my face feels like it's glowing, how I can feel my confidence restoring, and generally my zest for life coming back. And the maintenance is absurdly easy - you literally apply a glue called Ultra Hold once every ~2 weeks, and NEVER have to think about it - workout, sleep, shower whatever. I wake up feeling like i have a full head of hair.
Anyways, sorry for the rambling - just hope it will inspire / give hope to some of you (I know I needed it when it was bad) and also communicate just how amazing these hair pieces (coupled with Dermmatch) are these days.
Good luck to all.
