i have a question for any of you that either might know, or might be suffering from the same thing.
untill i was 27, i had lots of thick hair. the kind you could put grease in and still looked pretty thick. my hairline was in the negatives has far as norwood, because i had mostly kept my hairline from early teen days. my hair was average thickness as far as diameter, but i always had good volume and body.
now, i am 28 and have been noticing thinning hair for over a year. my hairline has receeded quite a bit from where it was across my forehead, and looks more than it is becaue the shape of my head, but i would still consider myself a norwood 1 by looking at the charts. my temples are very sparse and thin even further back than where there is no hair growing. the crown and vertex of my head still has hair on it, but it is see more see through, and when i get out of the shower, i can see scalp all over except the back and sides which lay down, mostly because i comb my hair up when on top when i get out of the shower.
although im sure i have less, when i look at my scalp, it looks as if i have alot of hair on my head as far as the quantity, but it looks as if every single hair on my head has become very very fine, and much straighter. it has become lighter because the hair has become finer. when i dont put tons of hairspray in it, it lays flat on my skull and feels very soft. light wind can shift my hair relatively easily, and i can shake my head and feel it all shift from side to side. i have been on propecia for over 6 months, with 0 results, and my hair seems to have continued to progress at the same speed it has always been. my hair is not too noticable to people that i dont bring it up to, but it is getting to the point where minor changes are looking more and more major because of how fine it has gotten. i have been tested for everything excpet dht, and everything has come back clean excpet for a few things that COULD cause hair loss, but because of the slowness and the fact that my hair is not falling out like medical conditions describe, i feel as if it is more likely to be genetic.
my questions are these: when every hair on your head becomes finer but hasnt fallen out, does that constitute a good chance that they will continue to become finer all over to the point of baldness, or does it mean im more likely to just have very fine hair for the rest of my life?? i dont count hairs, but i do notice the diameter of the hairs i find, and all of the hairs i find are very fine and they get finer the closer to the root that they go. does hair get finer in mid growth?? and if this is the case, can i expect that the hair will eventually become that fine as it grows??
