This Mummy found in Chili dates back to 7200 BC. It is clear that he had a good head of hair that lasted a long time.
i’m 19 and she is 18 and we’re both going to be sophomore in college next year and she is going to dorm next year and im worried that we won’t be together because i’ll become too far gone and she will find someone with a really nice head of hair and obviously a personality and whatever. i happen to think i have an amazing personality but this hairloss would make me look, ugh idk like very unpresentable
Sometimes you need to challenge a relationship to find out its value. If your girlfriend would leave you simply because of hair loss, then she is shallow. You have value well beyond your appearance and your hairline. Think about that and if she goes away, she is not worth keeping
I am contemplating laser hair removal, but i think that traditional laser doesn’t destroy the entire follicle, so it might regrow if i keep taking the treatment. You don’t have patient with this concern of hypertrichosis with low dose OM?
I have only started it recently on patients so I know more about what I read than my personal experience. Laser hair removal only removes anagen hair and for most body hair, half of these hairs are in telogen at any one time so at most you get half of the hair follicles with the laser
A little over a year of being on 1mg finasteride pills and using 5% minoxidil once daily. Not much hairline progress since my last update, but my hair has thickened significantly. Extremely happy with these results.
It has thickened because you took finasteride and minoxidil and probably reversed the miniaturization that might have progressed to hair loss. Nice!
This man strengthened his forelock and the bald area around the forelock in just 7 months of finasteride with minoxidil
Am I a good hair transplant candidate?
Yes, you may be an excellent candidate for a hair transplant because you have a persistent juvenile hairline which doesn’t need to suck up grafts and the grafts can be distributed to more easily cover the balding area on top and in the crown.
When I see an SMP like this, I must assume that this man wanted this look and found someone to do it for him because I can’t imagine any professional would do this voluntarily. I wouldn’t do it if I were asked, not for any money!

This is a unique way of looking at age related hair loss. I am not sure how genetic hair loss fits into this hypothesis.
Hi I’m a 24 year old female and one night I got stressed and started plucking hairs at my hairline. This is the first and only time I’ve ever done this. It happened January 24. It’s been almost 2 months now and absolutely no regrowth has even started. I don’t even see little black dots appearing Will they ever grow back? When? They was the only time I’ve ever plucked those hairs out. I’m so nervous
A single plucking will not result in permanent hair loss. I had a patient who was mugged and held by his hair. At the end of the beating they pulls out his entire frontal hairline and he was devastated. It all grew back within 6 months. You hair will likely grow within 6 months of the plucking
The hair appears thicker on the right after the 19 months on finasteride but it is hard to be sure from the photos alone. It would be better to have done a HAIRCHECK test before and after the 19 month timeline. This gives an objective measurement of the hair bulk increase, if any, see here: https://baldingblog.com/haircheck-test-how-it-is-done-video/
Saw Palmetto is a very weak DHT blocker. I can’t explain the numbers you are reporting with your testosterone levels. What did your Urologist tell you?
Saw Palmetto Induced Post Finasteride Symptoms from tressless
i’ve seen you comment in several hair loss posts so i wanted to reach out. next week i will be 5months post FUE and i’ve noticed shock loss in the front near my hair line for the past several months. at what point could i expect to see the hair start to regrow? it currently looks worse than it did before i had the operation in October. thank you for your time.
Shock loss is the loss of miniaturized hairs associated with a hair transplant. These usually don’t comeback. It can be prevented 95% of the time by taking finasteride. Your transplanted hair should be growing by now and in a couple of months you should have the length to style it.
In some men, finasteride alone can reverse frontal hair loss. If you add minoxidil to the routine, the odds get better and if you add microneedling then they probably get even better
I’ve been soaking and massaging twice a day per my doctor’s orders. I’m on day 5 now and quite a bit of scabbing has come off, but there’s still some left to go. I’m being gentle and no bleeding at all, so I’m just going to keep at it.
It is tricky to get scabs off at 5 days as the grafts get attached under the scabs so when the scabs come off, the grafts can be pulled out. The risk goes away at the 12th day. Read this article I wrote with Dr. Robert Bernstein: https://newhair.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/mp-2006-graft-anchoring.pdf
I have terrible scabbing just 3 days after my FUE. I haven’t touched the area, what should I do.
Use a surgical sponge to wash it by rolling over the grafts, back to front. If you don’t keep the scabbing away, they form in the first three days and won’t come off for 2-4 weeks. Read this very important article about the impact of crusting and scabbing after surgery: https://newhair.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/mp-2006-graft-anchoring.pdf
This is what you should look like with good washing:
