I Don’t Want to Lose More Hair

Dear Dr. Rassman,

I am just a college student and worrying about losing my hair. I can already see that I have a receeding hair line and wondering what I can do to stop losing hair. I am fine with the amount of hair I have. I do not need any replacements or regrowth. I just dont want to lose anymore. Please give me some advice as to what I can do. Thank you very much.

Get your metrics done with mapping out your scalp for miniaturization. You need a diagnosis and a Master Plan to determine what is going to happen for you. At 21, not all young men show the impact of miniaturization. If this is the case for you, then you will have to follow it over time. When and if you develop male patterned hair loss, the mapping will show it. If you are just developing a mature hairline (the hairline normally moves up about 1/2 inch), this is not considered genetic hair loss.
