Early Male Hair Loss

Follower12 Posts: 20 Joined: 2007/03/26	2007/05/29, 11:28 PM Hello Everyone, Recently i have noticed that i have been lossing like 50 strands of hair in the shower while washing my hair (on my head). I was wondering if this is normal. My father, and both grandfathers are bald (with the hair around and on the back of the head) so i expect to see hair loss in the future. When i go to get my hair cut im always commented on how thick my hair is. Recently she started thining it out at the end of the haircut. Do you think her thinning it out resulted in some of the hair falling out(perhaps it was always comming out but i didnt realize it). Should i change shampoo? I heard 100 strands of hair is the normal to fall out in a day but to loose half of them in the shower at night seems like a lot. Is perhaps a change in diet( i eat a little less and more healthy now - i use to eat a lot of unhealthy things). So, to the point... Is 50 strands of hair a lot of come off of your head in the shower? (just thought i would say there is the little white spot at the end which im guessing is the root or something? Does it grow back?)

If you are able to, I would ask your parents to take you to the doctor to find out what is causing it and treat it if possible. Good luck! -------------- Bettia You Get What You Train For! - Unknown

I get dandruff really easily so i just always use it. I think that because its medicated, it isnt healthy for my scalp to use it as a everyday thing, expecially if i dont have dandruff anymore. Emotional stress? I kind of get angry at stupid things that bother me a lot. I get over it fast though. I did a little test and i find that using the anti dandruff shampoo makes me loose more hair then the normal shampoo. I guess im gona slow down with the dandruff shampoo and pray thats why im lossing hair. On the bright side, if i do go bald... maybe the new hairstyle will change to no hair :) lol ============ Quoting from ravenbeauty: Your diet might be deficient in iron, or a hormonal change such as thyroid disease is a big contributor to hair loss, excessive shampooing or hair drying, emotional or physical stress, nervous habits, all of these can contribute to severe hair loss.

Ravenbeauty Posts: 3,755 Joined: 2002/09/24	2007/05/31, 08:32 PM any dark leay greens like spinach, but if you want to go supplemental route, they sell iron pills that you can take once daily. I wouldn't do that unless your doctor suggests it. Medical advice is always best with situations like this. -------------- Bettia You Get What You Train For! - Unknown
