Hello there,
I remembered I first noticed my hair loss problem when I was about 18. I lost my hair A LOT especially during having a shower. I was really panic and started to do some research. After reading a lot of articles about hair loss on an internet, I was so sure that it was from genetics. My father is bald, my mother's father is bald and all my cousins on mother side are bald. I was pretty sure I got one gene from my father or my mom or prolly both.
I was going crazy about it. I went to a lot of doctors and almost all of them told me not to worry about it because I was still young lol Since I was 18, hair loss has been my nightmare till now. My condition now is not too bad. I forgot to say I'm 23 now. I asked a lot of advice from friends and family and yeah all of them said I looked normal. Still I tried so hard to get some treatments. I saved up all my money and spent ii on various treatment.
Finally I found that what work for hair loss problem from genetics are propecia and minoxidil. I started using both of them before I turned 19 and propecia seems to work quite well but it doesnt help the fringe much. Minoxidil pills didn't really work for me. I had hair all over my body so I stop and used the liquid instead. It still didn't work good because I used only 2%. I'm planning to 5% very soon. I will post my pics too. I also tried a lot of shampoos but I gave up. It costs too much money and didn't really work till I found Mane n Tail (horse shamepoo I posted about before)
People keep telling me not to worry about it till you are actually blad. lol I'm glad that I didn't believe them at that time. If I didn't get any treatments, I would be completely bald now. Again from my experience, don't wait till you are totally bald. Don't wait till it's too late. Take a good care of yourself and you won't regret later.
Now I'm still going bald but it's not too bad at this age. I will keep posting my story and what I've done in more detail! Come back! :D
