Baking soda for your hair

Tip for hair styling: Mix a teaspoon of baking soda with your favorite shampoo to remove buildup from sprays, gels, conditioners, and other products. Your hair won’t just be cleaner, it may become easier to style, too (recommended by WebMD)

Microneedling with a bit of bleeding (photo)

That certainly produces a wound which will hopefully induce some hair growth. This is the point of doing it, to induce wounds and wound healing and maybe the hair will come along with it. Minoxidil added helps

I Have a Bald Spot Directly in the Middle of My Hairline. What Is It?

As the bald spot appears to still have some hair, it may be the beginning of early genetic balding. I recommend you see a doctor who can perform miniaturization studies in the hair around the bald spot. This will help determine if there is early miniaturization present.

Miniaturized hairs and how they develop

Is it normal for hair to thin towards the root in a single strand during the balding process? Looking at the photo below, can you tell if there any miniaturized hairs?

Let’s say the hair is on average 10 inches long and that you can easily tell towards the root it is a lot thinner than at the tip. You can also see there is a lot less pigmented towards the root.

You are very observant. The thinning hair closer to the root may be the effect of early miniaturization. This occurs at the most recent part of the hair that is growing. I believe if you observe this over time, more and more hairs will become miniaturized and reflect the genetic balding process that is taking place. Of the two hairs in the photo, the one on the right is miniaturized. It is thinner and has less pigment in it. I am fairly certain that it took longer to grow as well because miniaturized hairs grow slower and then either fall out or stop growing altogether.

 

Balding at 17

I have been slowly loosing since i was 15 about and i have nw 1.5 if that Means anything, anyways i am in a really early stage and i want to keep my hair for AS long AS possible. I am completely new to this and don’t know anything about what to do . Is there any products i should look into or buy straight away to slow down the hair loss. My dad Also did begin loosing HIS hair in an young age. My hair loss is my biggest insecurity and i would love to do something about IT. Thank you in advance (sorry for bad english and spelling errors but english is not my First Language)

Your language is fine and you communicated your problem very well. You need to find a doctor who can work with you, build a Master Plan for you, if they have a HAIRCHECK instrument (https://baldingblog.com/19-year-old-parent-told-not-balding-according-haircheck/) then use this as a guide to your treatment success. Finasteride is a great drug for you if you are really balding, you MUST have a doctor work with you for this.

Balding Time-Lapse Video

Hi Dr. Rassman

I just watched a timelapse video of a man age for 17 years, which shows the balding process really nicely. I noticed that his hairline recedes very slowly and gradually. But his crown thins all of the sudden at age 44. Can you explain why this happened?

Thanks

This is a great video illustration! This man took multiple photos daily for nearly two decades. As to why he lost his hair in this way… it’s all in the genetics.

Does Minoxidil Cause Tinnitus?

I started having tinnitus a month after using Minoxodil, never thought it could be related to this medication. Recently I went to see an audiologist and forgot to mention the Minoxidil. He did a hearing exam and said that my hearing is dropping at the higher frequency range, starting 9000 Hz. I told him that I was a musician, and he told me to blame the drummer for that. He gave me some ear vitamin supplements. I have to contact him back and mention the Minoxidil. I will stop using the damn thing and be bald instead. Honestly not worth it at all. Let’s see what happens.

Tinnitus (ringing in the ears) can be a warning sign for many serious medical conditions, not related to medications. However, it is also a known rare side effect of Minoxidil. Stopping the drug is a good idea.

Beard vs Scalp hair for transplant

I start to get bald from top of my head. The other areas are staying strong so far. Although the front headline go up a bir, it is not at a level it concerns me much. On the other hand, I have a very thick beard. It is actually more than I like at this point. I want to use this beard to close the balding spot. I don’t really care if the beard will be a bit curly since I don’t plan to have a very long hair. Do you think this would work? What is your experience after a year or more if you had a similar operation? I would like to know what are the results of people who have similar experiences with me.

Scalp hair is the ideal hair for a hair transplant. Beard hair is only used if you run out of scalp hair from overharvesting. Overharvesting reflects poor planning on your doctor’s part. Beard hair, when used, is never used in the leading edge of the hairline because it looks like beard kinky hair.
