On these sending DNA Sites you can see what your likelihood is of going bald. Is there a specific gene that causes this?
The genes (many genes) have not been fully identified. the company 23 & me is not reliable for predicting hair loss because even if you have the genes, these genes may not express themselves.

My comments are as follows:
Somehow, either the Black Market folks who did this surgery or the patient thought that these large numbers of grafts would create a great head of hair. I would be surprised if it did.
i am a 62year old african american and i have universal alopecia. I am a female i was wondering if there is anything out there that could grow my hair back or could i get a hair transplant. I haven’t tried anything for it, i only wear wigs.
For men, I might recommend scalp micro-pigmentation (SMP), as this can give the appearance of a closely cropped traditionally male hairstyle… but for women, unless this type of style is an option for you, I wouldn’t recommend it. There is unfortunately nothing available (aside from wigs) today. You couldn’t get a hair transplant, as you have no hair to move.
The pictures speak for themselves.
I don’t like this soccer payer’s hairline as the corners go up too much. My corners do not go up so high. What do you think? https://static1.purepeople.com/articles/9/60/29/@/20727-zinedine-zidane-637×0-1.jpg
I think that he has developed a normal mature hairline. Don’t obsess about keeping your juvenile hairline if you are under 29, it may just follow the same pattern as this man.
Greetings doctor,
I am 23 years old and I had a HT just over 8 months ago. I started thinning about 4 years ago at my temples, Going bald at such a young age made me very self conscious so I just had to do something about it.
I got 1200 grafts transplanted into my right and left temple areas. over the next few months some but not all of the grafts began to shed and I also experienced some ‘shock loss’ which is all normal I know. some of the grafts however stayed in place and continued growing.
I’m on my 8 month now and some of the grafts that stayed in place and grown all this time started falling out!! which got me very worried. there are also some bald patches on my temples where grafts got transplanted that haven’t shown any sign that they are growing yet.
Should I be concerned about any of this? I mean at 8 months I should start seeing the majority of the hairs coming out right? the only reason I can think of for this is that the grafts are just simply taking longer than usual to come out. I don’t however have any explanation for the transplanted hairs falling out after 8 months..
Please can you let know so I can set my mind at ease..
Kind regards
I cannot say what is going on without examining you in person. How would you know if the hairs you are losing are the transplanted hairs or native hairs? Or maybe transplanted hairs (like regular non-balding hairs) are going through their natural hair cycle of shedding before regrowing. I really cannot say.
At 8 months, you should see growth of the transplanted hair. You should definitely make an appointment with your surgeon to discuss what is happening and get a more definitive answer.
You should be washing your hair the day after the hair transplant surgery to keep it clean of crusting. Of course, everything is healed by the 3rd month and washing your hair is good hygiene.

With 4,500 grafts done, clearly there was a failure of growth in much of the grafts. That means that what you had done was not a good deal or your team with not the best team. Another FUE is most likely out of the question because it would create donor site balding, but a strip surgery might work. Your donor area needs to be measured so that a surgeon knows how much donor hair you have left. You need to find a good doctor in your area. If you are in California, I would be happy to give you an opinion.
Hello Doctor,
My question is: Ive been taking proscar 2.5 mg for a while with good results, after some time i felt that it wasnt working that good anymore. Regardless, one day i visited a local hair surgeon and after a brief talk about surgery the discussion moved on to hair medications, which he told me that i should switch to avodart (which he’s taking as well) so i did.
The first few weeks was awesome, after that i am experiencing major shedding which continued for the past 2 months (i’ve been on it for 2 1/2 months) so i dont know whether to switch back to finasteride or wait to see what happens with the avodart?
Honestly, you need to ask your doctor. This is a prescription medication that I did not prescribe to you. I can’t tell you whether you should switch between medications. Sorry.
avodart, dutasteride, finasteride, propecia, hairloss, hair loss
