Hair Loss & Replacement Blog

I’m only 18 and i already have power alleys going almost halfway across the top of my head. I’ve been looking into hair restoration. At first i was considering that Rogaine foam, but then i heard it was bull… Then i thought, maybe that Bosley treatment thing would work, but i don’t know if it will also stop me from losing any more hair, or just restore what I’ve already lost (only to have me lose that hair again). I have long hair, so this is kind of annoying.

Anyways, what i want to know is this: Is there a hair restoration treatment that will restore hair that I’ve lost AND keep me from losing any more hair?
Oh yeah, and I’m half Hungarian, and i have heard that Hungarians go bald quickly

can a person grow hair again in this area by implants

Hi guys,

I’m thinking about getting a hair transplant since the hair is significantly thinning on the top of my head but I have been reading SO many nightmares about it that either: 1) the hair plugs were bad that it looked like prickly acne on the scalp and/or 2) the scar on the back of the head is so bad it looks like butcher work

Take a look at this website: http://mysite.verizon.net/dschrode/newtransplant-tales.htm
These horror stories show that. I’ve heard that Bosley is REALLY BAD too! All you have to do is search "Bosley nightmares" on a search engine and you have numerous stories!

One website claims to look for the following: http://www.americanhairloss.org/surgical_hair_restoration/finding_a_surgeon.asp

Did any of you guys have hair transplants? What were you experiences in finding a great hair transplant surgeon? Do you have any scars from the hair transplants? If any of you are from the Detroit area, do you know which hair transplant surgeons are REALLY good?

Sorry guys, its just SOOO exhausting trying to find a dependable, and decent doctor…
Thanks for all of the help!

I’m 19 years old and it has been a year since I had my last chemotherapy treatment. My hair is still much thinner on the top of my head than it was before my treatment. Does anybody know how long it takes for someone to be sure that they have regrown all the hair they are going to regrow after chemotherapy? Also, does anybody have any idea if a place like Bosley hair restoration would perform a transplant on a chemotherapy patient, or do they just deal with natural hair loss?

I am a 24 year old male.

No one in my family lost their hair. NO ONE! I have uncles in their 70’s with full heads of hair. Its white, but still there. Dad, brothers, and uncles all have their hair. And I mean all of it. Same goes for cousins. The women have their hair also. About 3 months ago I lost the corner of my hair line. Not the temple, but the corner. Its right where the hairline meets the temple. It just came out over a period of about 2 weeks. There is a gap there about the width of my thumbnail. It goes straight back about 1/2 an inch. Now the same has happened on the other side only its a bit bigger. Now I’m noticing thinness on the top of my head. The stylist thought I was a bit paranoid, but when my hair is wet I can see plenty of scalp in pictures I’ve taken of my crown. Pictures show hair growing out of the scalp but it clumps together to look like a gap. Its wet when I do this so maybe I am just paranoid. The hair loss at the corners of my hairline is real though. She noticed it too. About 3-4 months prior to the hair loss I underwent serious stress. Landlords tried to evict me (it got nasty and I had to get a lawyer). I bombed a very important standardized test (So important the results have completely altered my life plans) and a relative died. All of this occurred over a 3 week period of time. When I’m stressed I put my hand in my hair and pull at the hair line. Not really hard but I’ll rest my head on my hand and forcefully pull my hand through my hair a couple times. On occasion I’ll pull at my crown. I figured my genes would protect me from doing any damage plus it wasn’t so hard that it hurt. Could the stress itself, the fussing with my hair, and a bad college diet mimic a receding hairline. I’m going to a dermatologist but I fear the worst (Male Pattern Baldness).

I read about a maturing hairline on baldingblog.com , but I don’t know. No one in my family has that. I’m freaking out right now. I don’t want to lose my hair. Have I just got some mutant gene? I always had incredibly thick hair. I mentioned that I had a bad diet. I would sometimes eat only once a day. About 3-4 days a week. Usually pizza or something. Other days I would have an apple and some salami for lunch and maybe a steak or chicken fingers for dinner. No sides with dinner though. Would continuing this diet for two semesters be this harmful? I barely ate at all Freshman year (just graduated this semester) and nothing bad happened. I don’t have an eating disorder just a budget disorder. Oh. I also take copious antacids. I have ulcers. I read they can reduce your body’s ability to absorb nutrients.

My doctor is very busy and I have to wait almost a month. Is there anything I should bring up to her in particular? Any advice on what I just wrote would be very very helpful. No provillus pitches please. I get it. It’s a helpful in treating hair loss. Now that you know I know you don’t have to tell me again.

Should I get some hair implants, I am a female and have thinning hair. I am getting embarrased. Its mainly on top of my head. How long do they last?

I am virtually bald on the top of my head and I just wanted to know if medical hair restoration is very expensive or affordable. Thank you,

My hair has been thinning out over the top of my head and the crown (the sides and lower rear of the head are fine), but my hairline hasn’t receded at all. It’s been going on since September of last year, and I’m not entirely sure of what the cause is.

Is it possible this is male pattern baldness, even though there’s no receding?

I’ve been working out since September of last year, but I’ve only really starting working out on a consistent basis (3 times per week) since January. Oddly enough, I find that my hair has thinned out, on the top of my head, considerably over the past five months. I already have a little bit of a receding hairline, but it’s not noticeable at all, but now that my hair around it is thinning out, I’m beginning to look noticeably balding.

I know male pattern baldness is unpreventable, but I find that it’s pretty coincidental that my hair overall is thinning out at the same time as I began to seriously work out.

Exercising DOES increase testerostone (DHT) in your body, but does it ever increase it enough to accelerate hair loss this rapidly? I’m not taking anything (supplements, drugs, medication) at all. I am working out au naturel. Has anyone ever had this experience, or know of anyone who had this happen to them?
