It is important that you are at least 25 years old and your pattern of hair loss can be predicted before you embark on a hair transplant. Don’t push for it.
Is this because the colour is closer to the pigment of the scalp if you are of a lighter persuasion? Or what is the reason behind this? Many reasons: Closer match to lighter skin so less color/contrast, blonde hair reflects light as does white hair. Of interest, 50% of women past menopause who have hair […]
I’m considering going on minox after jumping from Norwood 1 to 2.5 in a year at age 30, but I’m intimated by the commitment of having to keep successfully buying it, reacting well to it and consistently using it. How long you could try it out for without developing a dependency and triggering worse loss […]
Always had a massive forehead and started receding at the front around age 17. MTF trans and the hairline is a big source of grief for me, this sub has given me hope. I have no loss on the crown but it is the thinnest part of my hair, although I am more confident of […]
This is an expensive process in which each individual hair or group of hairs is attached to a synthetic hair (or more). Then, as the natural hair grows out, these weaved hairs move further and further away from the scalp, so to manage this problem (100% of people have this problem), these attachments are moved […]
This is an interesting presentation for what I would call End Stage DUPA in a balding Norwood Class 6 or 7 pattern. There is so much miniaturization and hair loss throughout the scalp, it is hard to pin down the pattern of hair loss. Here are two views from the same man. If this man […]

Due to hairfall my scalp is visible in my temple area. Rest all is fine. Should i go for fin and min treatment? Lighting, a short hair cut and straight hair can produce what you are showing. If you had your hair cut to the same length in the past with the same lighting and […]
Sometimes I get a decent amount of hair in my brush or when applying product to my hair, and I get worried that I’m accelerating any balding I have. If you brush a little rough and tug some hair out, will it grow back? I would think that it should, since the follicle it came […]
I appreciate all answers and am looking for multiple perspectives! Does transplanted hair really remain forever, even without Fin/Min? Is it possible to tell early on I’m the balding process, if I would be a good candidate for a hair transplant? I am 30. What makes a good hair transplant candidate? Is there such as […]
I’m wondering if there are people here who had a transplant done at a late age, let’s say 40, and given their balding pattern and high quality of their donor hair they opted for not taking meds (fin, min, etc) and were mostly fine for 5-10 years, doing another procedure then. If someone has bad […]
Hello Doc, I’m 26 and taking minoxidil twice a day, finasteride, and doing microneedling twice a day. I take other medications as well. I will not quit medication because of the hair loss that I could get. Could you kindly tell from your point of view. What could be the reason of such an extremely […]
I know what’s the difference between two cases? DHT miniaturised and non-DHT miniaturesed? What else causes miniaturisation except DHT? If the miniaturization is DHT dependent, then it occurs in the hairs of the scalp that are susceptible to DHT from genetic causes (i.e. Norwood Class 7 pattern patients). I have believed that the juvenile hairline […]
No real history of MPB in family other than normal hair loss after ~50 years old. I am 23 and was fat all of my childhood. I lost about 70-80 lbs in under a year and a half about 2-3 years ago. I basically lost it in the worst way possible… starving, keto, etc. Barely […]
