Im 21 years old and all my life my hair has been the one thing that kept me from being classified as ugly or therefore unattractive. Even though I was a average joe with a head full of hair. I was happy still. At the peak of my life when I was becoming more social, made more friends the nightmare begun. I started losing massive amount of hair and the process looked like it wasn't going to stop soon. When my friends and other people would comment on my hair I would go into deep depression. I lost all my confidence, self-esteem when my hair started falling out. With this, I also became extremely paranoid and thought people were criticizing me. I have been off and on finasteride + minoxidil but it was a burden for me so I quit. I am currently back on the treatment hoping to get back somewhat of my old hairline. Life has just not been the same without the old hairline. I used to like getting compliments for having nice hair. No longer is the days I can stroke my hand through my hair and feel the thick black hair. I guess im not different from the rest.
