I’m 16 and My Hairline Receded After a Haircut!

ok i got my hair cut around September. It was at the bottom of my ribcage and i got it cut a little higher than my collar bone. Ever since then its been falling out a lot more. Ive asked my parents multiple times if my hair line is receding. They say its not and i also get them to look at the top area of my head. It has got thinner i can tell. My grandma says its just the seasons but i don’t know if that’s true.I am a 16 year old male.

Your haircut didn’t contribute to your hairline changing. What it sounds like (without photos, I’m just making an assumption) is that your hairline is starting to mature. This is premature around your age, but it happens.

Your new hairstyle might be contributing to your hair looking thinner on top, but I don’t know enough about your hair character (fine, coarse, etc) or hair color to really provide much more than guesses. Maybe there’s something else going on that was coincidental to the timing of the haircut. If you’re truly concerned, have your parents take you to see a dermatologist.

I’m 19 and Worried I’ve Got a Mature Hairline (with Photos)

Hello.

I am 19 years old and i send this message because i am very afraid that i am really fast balding. But i heard about a mature hairline, and it can be normal for man/boys around my age to get this kind of hairline. Can you please check out the pictures i send and also uploaded and posted in this message. Because i really want to know what you think… A mature hairline or just balding? If it is a mature hairline im reassured because i dont care if i go bald in 10/20 years but not just in my 20’s..

I hope you understood this message because my English is not that great. ( Im Dutch )

Here are the photos (click to enlarge):

 

Your English is just fine, but your photos are unfortunately pretty bad for me to be able to evaluate (the lighting is poor and the images aren’t sharp). From what I can gather from the pictures, your hairline appears to be fine and it is touching the upper crease of your furrowed brow. This would suggest that you have retained your juvenile hairline (better pictures would be needed to confirm this). Mature hairlines do occur at 19 years old, but that would be unusual. There’s no way for me to tell if it’ll go beyond the mature hairline or just stop right there, though.

1 year after a hair transplant and it looks spotty

At one year after a hair transplant, I would expect to see at least 95% of the growth to styling length on your head. Go back and meet with your doctor and see what your doctor has to say. If you were my patient, I would want to know for sure that you don’t have some autoimmune disease and if you don’t then your doctor should make it right financially for you

poor result

I’m 22 and Want a Hair Transplant.

Absolutely no hair transplants before you are 25 because you will be chasing your hair loss with annual hair transplants and lots of money you might not have. Worst of all, you will be using up your donor hair without a Master Plan for your life going forward. You need to find a caring doctor who can build a Master Plan for your future possible hair loss, including tomorrow and 10-30 years from now.

1 year on minoxidil (photo)

I have been taking minoxidil 5% on my hairline for 1 year and I wanted to ask you if you think that adding finasteride will help grow more hair?

Adding finasteride will only add potentially more benefit. What you already got from minoxidil over one year is remarkable and unusual.

I’m 25, is it too early to transplant? (photo)

No it is not too early as you are now 25 and your pattern should be generally known by now. The corners are easy to transplant and the area behind the middle frontal hairline is thinning from the photo view. The entire area can be transplanted easily with FUE, about 1300 grafts might do it. You should take finasteride to prevent shock loss and the advancement of the loss process especially if you get it transplanted.

12 Days After Hair Transplant (with Photos)

I wanted to show some 12 day post-operative photos of a very early Norwood Class 5 patient after one procedure of 1588 grafts. I get a lot of emails from people ask me what they can look like with good post-operative washing, and this is a good example of one such patient that kept the recipient sites clean. While there is still some slightly visible redness, he is less than 2 weeks out of surgery and this should subside soon enough.

I’m Concerned About How My Hair Parts

Hey Doc,

Hope you’ve had a good new year! After my last question to you, I was pretty convinced I had nothing to worry about with my hair… however, there’s this part that concerns me.

I’ve been told that this is a natural parting, so I would just like confirmation that it is?

This is my hair wet, which doesn’t show this ‘parting’ or whatever.

When my hair is dry you can see a slight parting towards the top of my hair, in front of my crown.

Does that look like a parting to you? Feel free to post any pictures again, if this question does get published.

Thanks.

I appreciate you allowing us to publish the photos.

If you are worried about hair loss (possibly seen in the first picture with your hair standing up), then you should come and see a doctor who can measure your hair bulk to determine if you are losing your hair. I can’t confirm if it’s just the way your hair parts, but I do notice a well combed hairstyle that does much to cover the suggestion of thinning in at least one of the pictures.
