How will the HAIRCHECK instrument tell me whether or not the follicle will stop growing? – Hair Loss Information – Balding Blog

The HAIRCHECK instrument measures hair bulk. Follicles that stop growing do not add to the hair bulk on your head. Everyone with genetic balding will show patterns of reduced hair bulk when this is measured. I answered this in past tense. If you are asking me about the future, I don’t have any way to predict it. If you have genetic balding, then it is almost a guarantee that you will see more and more of it as you get older. see photos here on use of HAIRCHECK instrument: https://baldingblog.com/2017/01/10/value-haircheck-bulk-measurements-two-patients-seen-today/

Nizoral and hair loss, does it work? – Hair Loss Information – Balding Blog

“I seemed to respond well to rogaine and I’m wondering how long my hair will stay where it is now? I’m very nervous about using fin because of possible sides but am considering adding Nizoral a couple times a week as well. If I responded well to Rogain and continue with regular application do you think I will keep the results long term? Also, is Nizoral worth adding in a couple times? I appreciate all the help a ton!”

Nizoral is an anti-fungal agent and effective for the treatment of seborrheic dermatitis caused by a fungus. It may have some hair benefits with people who have hair loss but the mechanism is not clear if it does.

My hair loss makes it very difficult for women to take an interest in me – Hair Loss Information – Balding Blog

My early hair loss makes all this exceedingly difficult for me as my situation is with women. I’m already a 22 year old kissless virgin, though I’ve been working very hard lately to change that. I get dates from time to time but it goes nowhere. Part of this is me panicking, in a sense of feeling like I’m running out of time (I’m 22), because, once I’m bald I know things will be significantly more difficult with women MY AGE. I know, generally speaking, that women don’t care as much when you get into your 30s and over, but without sounding like a douche, I want to be able to experience girls closer to my age, and I don’t want to have to wait that long. Even though, by then I’d be a virgin well into my 30s. That means I’d be screwed anyways. I may go back to school and this would be a distraction for me, but the problem will still be there when I meet a woman.

Much about hair loss is not what’s on your head but what’s inside your head. Women perceive insecurity and insecurity is not sexy or attractive. You may perceive this as a hair problem, but look at a lot of guys your age or slightly older who have girlfriends and I’l bet that some may have early recession or even more hair loss and still get dates. You need to recognize who you are, what is your value as a human being. Speak with your parents or older friends and open up with them and I am sure you will find out that what is happening to your hair is not your big problem. You might even seek a therapist who can work through your own personality development. I know that men in their late teens and early 20s, have not fully developed the pre-frontal part of the brain, the part that is central to the personality you develop and the relationships you will develop as you get older. Play it cool and you may be surprised when you meet a girl at school, that the meeting and the relationship will flow more easily. To manage your insecurity you must recognize your value and that will project to the women you meet. The older you get, even if you lose more hair, you will see your relationship with the world around you different.
