Tip for hair styling: Mix a teaspoon of baking soda with your favorite shampoo to remove buildup from sprays, gels, conditioners, and other products. Your hair won’t just be cleaner, it may become easier to style, too (recommended by WebMD)
There are reports that people who take Creatine and have the genes for balding, can bring on or accelerate the hair loss process. I wrote about it a number of times, but take a look at this previous post: https://baldingblog.com/creatine-increases-dht/
Maybe. There is no obvious genetic link to the Classic DUPA (Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia) we originally reported in the Journals. I have, in some patients, seen genetic balding also present (not that common) and when I do, I warn these patient never to have a hair transplant because it will fail.

In this particular young man, he had a Class 5 pattern of balding heading to a Class 6 from what I could see in his photos. The metrics obtained from these simple pictures, tell me that he will have enough hair to handle any balding pattern he develops. Those of you reading this should consider a phone consultation with me and also sending me these photos so I can give you an analysis as I did for this young man. This is a critical part of a Personalized Master Plan for lifetime hair loss.
I am 20 years old and a few weeks ago I realized I have quite a big bald spot on my crown. So, 2 weeks ago I started minoxidil, finasteride, nizoral shampoo, .25 dermarolling (probably going to go ahead and buy a 1.5). I’m probably currently NW3 or NW4. Given that I am vertex balding at the age of 20 and started the big 3 plus dermarolling, how long before I reach NW6-7 area?
Many balding patterns that become develop advanced patterns often start first with the crown area at your age. As hair is so important, you should plan on managing it properly, first by finding a doctor who understands the concept of a Personalized Master Plan for your balding. Then get a basic HAIRCHECK test ( https://baldingblog.com/haircheck-test-how-it-is-done-and-what-its-value/ ), and if appropriate, go on medications to stop or at the least slow the hair loss down. At the age of 20, treatments work well when then are managed correctly. I can even do it through telephone consultations if you can’t find a local doctor at info@newhair.com.
If you have a tendency to Hypochondriac thinking, then the nocebo effect is clearly something that could impact you. You have to work it out in your own head first, otherwise, sexual side effects will hit you.
Yes, hair loss can come in waves separated by months at times or even years. It can be impacted by your stress and your genetic code
The authors show that the blood flow in the scalp with less hair is less than with more hair. This is because the hair requires a great deal of blood because it has a high metabolic rate. The body pumps blood to the scalp to meet the need to support the high metabolic hair organ system. The reduced blood flow, long held as the cause of hair loss, has never been proven. This is an issue of cause and effect, less hair produces less blood supply not the other way around.
Subcutaneous blood flow in early male pattern baldness

Abstract
The subcutaneous blood flow (SBF) was measured by the 133Xe washout method in the scalp of 14 patients with early male pattern baldness. Control experiments were performed in 14 normal haired men matched for age.
The SBF in the scalp of the normal individuals was about 10 times higher than previously reported SBF values in other anatomical regions. In patients with early male pattern baldness, SBF was 2.6 times lower than the values found in the normal individuals (13.7 ±9.6 vs 35.7 ±10.5 ml/100 g/min?1). This difference was statistically significant (p ? 0.001). A reduced nutritive blood flow to the hair follicles might be a significant event in the pathogenesis of early male pattern baldness.
The answer to this question is possibly, but it needs more investigation. Read this comment published by a notable biologist
No way! Hair is an organ, and therefore transplants from another person will always reject, alive or dead!
Multiple injections into the scalp caused multiple abscesses and hair loss. Make sure you get to see an experienced doctor and not some unskilled doctor who is in the hair filed in it to make a buck! You may pay more heavily than with money for terrible work.
This is an important comment because so many young men want to switch from finasteride to Dutasteride– they feel it is stronger, but this is something I recommend against. Too many young men think that Dutasteride will not give them sexual side effects and they are wrong.
The number of grafts will depend upon (1) the final agreement of where your hairline belongs and what you want (I will assume that the V-shaped hairline is at the lowest point of your mid-line hairline as shown in the photo which should be within 1/2 inch of the highest crease of the furrowed brow), (2) the thickness of your hair (fine, medium or coarse where the finer it is, the more grafts are needed), and (3) the decision to treat the crown with medications rather than a hair transplant reflecting the number range I will give you.
Frontal reconstruction (fine-coarse hair) range would be between 2300-1600 grafts). See this hairline as an example which appears to have more hair loss than you show: https://baldingblog.com/patient-review-from-italian-vacation-photo/
