Hey I’m 19 and In thinning around the hairline I’m now on 0.5g finasteride since 2 weeks and me question is will finasteride thicken these fine hairs on the hairline or do I need to Derma roll?

Provided you are not talking about the loss of your juvenile hairline in developing a maturing hairline, a 19 year old with early genetic Class 3 type hair loss may reverse the process on finasteride. Finasteride will not help you hold on to a juvenile hairline or bring it back.

It looks like the transplants grew but if you have fine hair, a second hair transplant could have been predicted but based upon these photos, it may be needed anyway. More length will help it look fuller. I always tell my patients that a second transplant may be needed if there is not enough fullness present, something almost always the case in people with fine hair and not uncommon even with people with medium weight hair (about 30% of the time).

If my dad is bald will i be bald too?? If so, when will I start losing my hair. I am 26 now.

We inherit our genetic balding from both sides of the family, even from our grandparents when our parents do not express the balding gene and have a full head of hair. Do not obsess with what may happen to you for if it has not started by 26, it is less likely that you will follow a signficant balding pattern. Ask your dad when he first noticed balding, and if it was after 30, then maybe time will yet unfold an outcome like his. If he started before 26, then it is likely that you will not follow his pattern. Most bald men have signs by the age of 26 that balding may happen.

It is too early to tell much. Your hairline is still in its juvenile position (because it approximates the highest crease of the furrowed brow) and I would expect that it would rise about 1/4 inch from where it is. Maybe what you are seeing on the right side is the first step in this process. If I were to see you, I would look to see if you had miniaturization in the frontal area, which would indicate changes coming.

Often, men achieve their genetic inherited pattern of hair loss and then stop losing hair. To judge if this is the end point, go back and see if your hair loss pattern has been stable for the past 5 years and if so, this means that you might have reached your inherited hair loss pattern by now

I am 23 and have experienced significant hairloss in the past 5 months. I did not start taking Propecia and now I am currently studying in China and the medication is unavailable here. To stop the anxiety of noticing my rapid hairloss I was considering shaving my head. Will this at all increase the rate of hairloss until I can begin treatment on Propecia, Minoxidil, etc?

Shaving your head will have no impact on your hair loss, one way or the other.

Hi all, I am recovering from shock loss on my frontal hairline – 7 months post hair transplant. When I stand very close to a mirror, under light, I see many fine, thin, hair sprouting from the shock loss area. When I stand farther away, the hairs cannot be seen and my shock loss area looks bald. If these fine, thin hair grew into thicker more colorful hairs, I would be cured of this shock loss episode.

My question is is there a way to differentiate which of these fine, thin, wispy hairs will sprout into terminal hair and which will remain baby hairs? Do baby hairs grow in length, or remain short? The hairs in the shock loss area appear to be growing-but even with growth they are still colorless and very then and weak.

Vellus hairs are the short hairs that are mixed in with each follicular group of normal hairs. Miniaturized hairs are hairs that have lost their thickness and are noticeably thinner than the hairs on the back of your head. Full terminal hairs are the hairs that you have in the back of your head. Shock loss rarely reverses the loss of miniaturized hairs, while terminal hairs that are lost often come back.
