Moustache Restoration?

i would like information on moustache restoration as mine is thin

The use of hair transplants for the moustache is relatively easy to do technically, but may be more difficult from a planning point of view. The hair usually would come from the back of the head and you therefore must be reasonably sure that the character of your hair from the back of the head will look like your existing moustache. If you have a coarse, brown haired moustache and fine, blonde hair in the back of your head, a transplant using scalp hair might not be the right decision. To get around this, one could use pubic hair which is more coarse than a fine character scalp hair transplant. Get an expert to find out what is reasonable.

Good mouse research. May not apply to humans as many mouse studies have found.

MPB or General Age-Related Thinning?

How can you tell the difference between male pattern baldness and general thinning as you age? I am almost 35 and have no discernible signs of MPB other than a mature hairline (which appeared when I was about 19). However, I am convinced my hair is thinner than it used to be.

Simple answer: There is a pattern to MPB. That is why they call it male “pattern” baldness and this is the classic male genetic hair loss.

There are other diseases that cause general thinning, including diffuse unpatterned alopecia (DUPA), senile alopecia, etc. You can have that diagnosis made for sure by comparing the bulk in different parts of your scalp. A knowledgeable doctor will add value in examining you.

MSM for Hair Growth

Does MSM make hair grow faster, and if so, by about how much?

I read and agree with this article: MSM and Hair Loss for a Treatment. Many claims, not much data.

MRI Reported to Cause Hair Loss by Patient

I have had 2 MRI’s without contract. Both times within 2-3 months of the MRI, I started losing massive amounts of my hair. This has never happened any other time in my life. I lost about 2/3 of my hair in about a 3-4 month period before it stopped falling out each time. Also the MRI’s were about 4 or 5 years apart from each other. The reason for the MRI’s were due to an injury not illness.
They say MRI radiation doesn’t cause this. However this is my experience as it is others as I read online. There are many times in history the medical system has guided us one way to find out they were killing us, then rewrite how to handle these things.

Thank you for your comment. I have not had many such complaints from people taking MRIs so I don’t know how to respond intelligently. In theory, an MRI should not impact hair loss so I must wonder what stress you might have been under, possibly contributing to hair loss.

MPB Progression

Can rates of mpb change time to time in a person. From 2017 – 2018, my hair line went to Norwood 1 from Norwood 0. The texture of my hair changed and density decreased. From July 2018 to now, there was no change in hairline or density, remains the same. Essentially does mpb progress in a linear, exponential, or sine wave like fashion? Or is there no idea.

Moving from a Norwood 0 to a Norwood 1 is just moving from a juvenile to a mature hairline, and it is NOT balding. To be sure, I would have to see what you are referencing with some good photos.

Multiple Sclerosis and Hair Loss?

(female)
I have noticed that my hair is breaking off. There are several pieces of hair that are only two inches long on the top of my head. I color my hair to cover the gray, but I am also on several medications. I was diagnosed with MS in 2003. Do you have any thoughts on what could be causing this?
Thank you.

Look at the medications that you are using for the cause of your hair loss. Some medications used in treatment of multiple sclerosis (like mitoxantrone) can cause mild hair loss. Speak with your doctor about them.

I Was Mugged and My Hair Was Pulled Out. Will It Come Back? (Photo)

In a single hair pull like you are discussing, the hair usually returns within 6 months. However, a few reports indicated that it did not return, so then a hair transplant is the solution.

I have reported this here before on BaldingBlog: https://baldingblog.com/?s=hair+pulled+out&x=0&y=0

Must I lose my erections to stop shock loss with Propecia?

I am 26 years old and had a hair transplant last week and my surgeon recommended that I take Propecia to prevent shock loss. I am afraid to do this because I heard that I won’t get erections on this drug. Is this true?

The risks of ED with finasteride is 3-4% while the risks for young men in their 20s for shock loss after a hair transplant is probably 90%. You should have been on the drug before your surgery. Now it is completely your call.
