Lost Hair in Left Side of My Hairline — Now It’s Just Growing Back
Hello Doctor,
I am a 26 year old male. Recently, I have lost hair around the left side of my hairline. My hairline has risen on that side dramatically. Now it seems small/thin hairs are starting to sporadicly regrow in their place. Does this typically happen when a mature hairline is transforming? Does hair often fall out for no apparent reason and grow back sporadicly?
Symmetry is the key ingredient in the perception of beauty. Unfortunately, most of us are not perfectly symmetrical and it is not unusual for the tranformation to a mature hairline to be unsymetrical. Your eyes, nose, ears, teeth, and even hairline is never perfectly symmetric. When one start to lose hair from MPB or even a maturing hairline it will likely be more pronounced on one side and the other side may play ‘catch-up’ when it takes its turn falling out. You may be seeing the hairs going through their natural cycles, but you need a good examination and a miniaturization study for that assessment to find out if you have genetic balding in the frontal area.
Hi doctor, my on my right side of hairline near temple area has come out and I am thinking because I sleep on that side of my head all the time. I have never had this problem before and I a 61 year old female. It started 2 years ago(thinning) and now only have gray fuzz that I can’t catch up on culers because it too short. The other areas of hair has responded to hair stylist treatment, but that particular side remains gray, short, and fuzzy. What do you THINK might be the cause: Not enought blood flow to that because style of sleeping on that side of head is the blocking the flow. I really take naps daily and my routine is to position my head on that side all the time. Faithing that I will get an email from you. I have read your blogs from June 2006 to August 2007.
