Hi 
I am 19 years old. 2 years ago, after a stressful high-school examination year, I have lost some of my hair, and that made my scalp have some spaces in between my hair which can be seen clearly if exposed to light or I brush my hair the "spikey" look. But to be honest, I have always had a slight thinning in my hair after puberty.
The weird thing is that, I don't shed hair, not when I brush, not on my pillow, not anywhere, but still, my hair looks thin. Also, from the center and back of my scalp, the hair is good there, but the problem is in the front of the scalp and the sides of the front of the scalp, the hair is thin there. I have a receding hairline, but its not that big.
None of my mother's side relatives have experienced hairloss, yet my father, uncles, grandfather and grandmother have all experienced it, but when I use "Hairloss Calculators" or ask dermatologists, they predict that I should not lose hair now, but when I become in my 50s or older.
I have tried Minoxidil 5% for almost 4 months, but it didn't change anything, my hair still has spaces in between. So can someone explain to me what is going to happen to my hair and what I should do?
I also want to ask something which is not related: Does wearing caps or hats make hair stronger? I mean most people I know whom where hats and caps have strong hair, is it a coincidence?
Thank you!!
