I Need To Know If I'm Losing My Hair

[richard3435]

If you lose those baby hairs at the base of your hairline in the next few years, you will know you are receding. My hairline started like yours then I lost those little baby hairs and the whole hairline receded further up but I basically did not recede in my temples too much.

Won't the miniaturization just continue so you will always have baby hairs but the hairline will just continue to recede?

Compare your current pics from last years pics.If its male pattern baldness then go for 1 mg finasteride.Imo it looks like early male pattern baldness.Best thing you can do is to meet a hair specialist,he can check and tell you if its normal hair loss or male pattern baldness.
Btw how is your lifestyle?? Smoking,eating habits sleep patterns, stress etc

I drink a couple days a week and I am a social smoker when I drink.. I also don't get a lot of sleep, I average 6 hours a night probably. But I'm generally healthy and eat okay. All in all I don't have a very heathy lifestyle but it's not too poor either. And I have a lot of stress in my life because I'm a generally anxious person. As I said before this leads me to pull at my hair a lot. I then check them for the white bulb and generally count how many hairs fall out at a time and from what area on my head.

I just washed my hair for the first time in a couple days and over 100 hairs came out. I also seem to have some red spots developing on the top of my head, any thoughts?

See a dermatologist asap to start with finasteride. It looks like diffuse thinning to me.

I just saw a hair care specialist and looked under the microscope and there is indeed miniturization throughout the top part of my scalp. It is a sad realization, male pattern baldness has officially begun

You are lucky to get it caught it so early. Start with big 3 and everything will be allright for many years.

I never understand guys that dont wash their hair everyday. My hairs a mess in morning. Ive washed it everyday since i was a kid.

Not washing your hair can have some benefits for the hair strands yes but imo its bad for your scalp as oilyness can lead to bad scalp and def doesnt help if you have male pattern baldness.

Keep your scalp clean and wash it everyday with good shampoo and use nizoral couple times a week.
