How do you know this? Any evidence you can provide? Anecdotally on Reddit and hair forums – you read hundreds of posts of people “sprouting new mini hairs” (ie at the hairline), after starting finasteride, minoxidil, and more recently – dermarolling. These hairs may not necessarily be fully miniaturized – but they certainly are thinner than other terminal hairs.

I have seen patients with significant miniaturization placed on finasteride and then upon re-examining them, I saw less miniaturization as hair seem to become thicker in the same areas I examined.

I hear caffeine from coffee i.e. increased adrenaline and you’ve consistently said adrenaline can contribute to hair loss. What’s up with this?

I am not aware of this. I drink a triple espresso every day. Coffee drinkers are not at any higher risk for hair loss than non-coffee drinkers. Genetic balding is the cause of most hair loss.

I wonder what his age was in the balding photo. Most men who develop a Class 7 pattern have it before their 30, mostly before they are 26 years old. The picture on the left must be his high school picture. I have little doubt that men like Larry David confronted with extreme balding at an early age, are impacted in such a way that it changes their lives. Maybe he owes his talent development and his career to his balding, a positive spin on balding for him.

He is in Los Angeles and should see me so that I can do Scalp Micropigmentation and make these bald areas disappear. We have done this on quite a few African American Celebrities.

Hey, Dr. Rassman. Thank you for checking in. Unfortunately (or, perhaps, fortunately, in that I have an answer) I was diagnosed today with lichen planopilaris. It seems worst case in a way, but again, I’m relieved to have an answer. Starting injections soon. I’ve finally found a good dermatologist that was willing to take a biopsy and didn’t just prescribe finasteride at the first mention of “hair loss.” Thank you for perusing this subreddit and helping people out. If we’re here, we’re miserable, and it’s good to have someone here who will listen and give actual advice. All the best, and happy holidays to you and yours

This is becoming more and more common in younger men and men of all ages. We used to think that this was a woman’s scalp disease and now we know better. You must get a good doctor when you treat hair loss, as this man struggled to get the proper diagnosis. If he was to be transplanted by some over-zealous hair transplant surgeon, it would have failed because the disease that took his hair away would have done the same thing to his hair transplants.

It looks like a lot of us are going to be going into lockdown for the foreseeable future, which means a lot of us aren’t going to be getting enough Vitamin D. Now, Vitamin D does have a proven link to hair growth. It’s not going to stop AGA but it’ll help keep some of the thickness and generally just make us feel healthier in these times. Stay safe

If you live in cold climates, have to stay indoors for a long time, don’t have a tan, then taking daily Vitamin D supplements may be a good idea for your hair. Vitamin D only works in the presence of a Vitamin D deficiency.

I have been transplanted twice. Both times, this bald spot, which was transplanted, didn’t seem to take the grafts and grow out like the rest of the hair.

You most likely have Alopecia Areata. This condition will cause the hair to fail to grow in an active area of the disease. I recommend that you see a dermatologist. He will look at it via microscopic examination and possibly find ‘exclamation hairs’. He will also perform a biopsy to confirm the diagnosis. This is a critical step for you because this disease can get worse.
