What's up everyone?!
So here I am. Another person to tag on the Balding list. Let me tell you a bit about myself to go along with the pictures.
Name: Richard
Age: 22
Branch/Rank: Army/SGT
Grew Up: Michigan
Stationed At: Hawaii
I've been on and off of this site for about a year now. I noticed considerable hair loss over the last year and a half especially around the temple area. Growing up I had beautiful curly hair and got many compliments even through high school. Coming into the Army at 18, they shaved our heads and I wonder now if back then if I was starting to thin.
Now being 22, I notice thinning on the crown and on the temple areas. Looking back through my High School photos I noticed that I never really had hair on my temples which I'm not sure when I lost them but I had them maybe until 7th or 8th grade. So if I had them, they are gone for good unless I get a transplant.
Family wise, on my dad's side my father, uncles, grandfather, great grandfather, cousins, now, were all bald. On my mom's side some of my cousins still have hair and are in 30's, but grandfather, great grandfather were also bald. So I knew from the beginning I was pretty much screwed.
So now looking at no hope and looking at my future... I realized that yes, i would join the rest of my family and be bald. Until now....
That's where I need some help from you guys. Many of you I'm sure have tried everything offered by the hair gods and figured which ones would be most successful. Here comes the question...
With no prior use of any types of hair regrowth products or DHT blockers, what should I start using to help prevent my baldness? You can take a look at my pictures and see how far gone I am. Any advise anyone could give would be better then me spending money on stuff thats not gonna work.
This site is a great source of information for everyone with this problem. I want to say thanks to everyone that keeps it going and helping specifically men have a future with hair.
These are todays photos after receiving a hair cut earlier. When my hair is pushed forward you can barely see the hair loss. But when I push it back you can see the damage that has been done. The thin areas in front are all small baby hairs almost ready to say bye bye. I'm hoping a good regimen can save these and turn back into the hair I once had.
Hopefully I will have good results and will be able to post updates every 2 months or so. I'm looking at a November deployment so I may have some success and be able to post.
Thanks everyone, Richard
