So Hi everyone, first of all let me just say sorry if u can’t get my writing 😭.
I am from pakistan just turned 21 this june. I got very bad hair problems, I’ll be attaching image for you guys to look and give me some manly advice without some social media shit like monoxdile, do this, this serum, this mask, this water and sooo on. So I got grey hairs already like 30 40 percentage of hairs are already grey so along with grey hairs i have got these issues: 1: Grey hairs (30 to 40%) 2: I got rough hairs 3: Started baldness if not wrong from front line. My front line hair are not growing well as you can see in the image. 4: I also got mostly dandruff issue but using shampoo like (selsun or selsum blue) or maybe Head and shoulder can mostly control it. 5: I have noticed that i guess my hair growth has been slowed down pretty well. 6: Mostly hair falls when ever i set hairs with my hands, if shampoo, and comb i got hairs falls like hell sometimes
So i need some real advice from people maybe doctors, one with same issues cured or uncured but not other shits.
How to deal with all this. I got pretty hectic routine going to start like night shift and studies so can’t focus on routines. I do gym, i got good diet like very very low fast food consumption.
Exactly what should I use or do to make all these things under control maybe with a shampoo or product ? I do oiling as well like there is a oil named Tara meera oil that is like a pepper on a cut 💀 but u know what i want is to get a good hair not a very very good model like hair. Just good hailrs that i can grow, make them long aand style. That’s it.
What will you guys suggest. Anyone with suggestions of any kind are welcome to deliver but try to avoid some fake social media and long care products and routine for hair as I can’t really afford, as well as can’t really focus and do. Most i can do is to oil hairs once a week, do shampoo or maybe conditioner if it is good for hair and use some easy suppliments like Evion that i take already. Tried 60 biotin tablets once from a company called nutrifactor but I don’t think i get any results. So yeah this is it. Really appreciate if u guys can share your experience, your suggestions and things works for you. Thank again ❤️
Since no one else mentioned it. Stress, stress can lead to both of these things. Premature greying and hair loss. Thankfully the hair loss is usually temporary if it is caused by stress, although the greying is not.
So if you lead a pretty stressful life. Find some ways to relax and try to get enough sleep.
I started losing hair in clumps in my mid to late 20’s. Then had a major life event that was the peak of that stressful point in my life and now a little over a year later most of my hair has grown back. The grey is all still there, but my hair grew back.
Genetics are often the cause of hair loss, but don’t discount stress.
Honestly I think if you lean into the grey hairs it can totally work for you. I understand wanting to stop the balding (assuming it’s actually happening and not just you imagining things – see a dermatologist), but just because you have some grey hairs doesn’t mean you’ll look like an old man in a couple years. You can always dye it if you want to, but as someone who’s had some grey in my hair since my 20s, it’s really not going to age you that much on its own, and some people will think it looks great.
I’ve done endless hours of research through studies and whatever else I could find, as well as visits to dermatologists. The following four things reversed my hair loss:
- Finasteride (this is the biggest one). I take it topically, but you can take it orally too. Prevents balding from getting worse.
- Minoxidil
- Derma Roller, 1.5mm. “Wounding”. This may be placebo, but it hasn’t made things worse.
- Seeing a good dermatologist to get a proper diagnosis and proper prescriptions for the first two things.
Can you tell me how you used and other stuff too. It’ll be 👍
Topical prescription of Finasteride and Minoxidil (they come in the same bottle) nightly. Just enough drops for good scalp coverage. Derma roller weekly. That’s it.
I know this probably isn’t what you want to hear, so sorry if it’s unhelpful, but why not just shave it off? I think the majority of men look good with a shaved head. I don’t mean like bic or razer shaved just a No.1 or even no guard on a set of clippers. I did this for a while when working as an asbestos surveyor (having to get into all sorts of gross places) and really liked it. It’s fantastic for low maintenance.
Bald guy checking in. Started receding at 18 but held onto it till i was 33. Been wet-shaving it a year now. The weight of anxiety that was lifted when i shaved it and liked it was enormous. I have way more confidence. I look and feel better bald than balding. I own it now. You look like you’ve got plenty time left but id check out baldcafe on YouTube. Sort by popular and watch the before and afters. Might give you the push to try out the dreaded clippers.
Aye aye.
Patrick Stewart and Jason Statham, among my favorites, show you can look gorgeous with a nice trimmed dome.
Try out finasteride. I’m 24 and just started doing it, because I’ve realized that my crown are is balding as well. Finasteride basically blocks the DHT hormones which produce this entire balding phenomenon.
It has some listed side effects but their chances are really low, so just atleast try it out, and if yiu get side effect, then you just stop. Do bear in mind that finasteride needs a lot of time to see some improvements
Just my 2 cents, myself and many other trans women use Finasteride for hair retention as well. For what it’s worth, my hair line is the same as when I started Fina.
(but I am on other hormones as well which helps, your personal results will vary)
A few years of finasteride (+ minoxidil) here; It likely affects people differently, but for me this combo has very effectively ceased my baldening, or at the very least make it very much slower, but I’ve not got any new growth or return of significant amount of growth on areas that already got very thin.
I’d be realistic about the potential results, maybe a bit skeptical even, just not to get too excited and then disappointed.
Worth mentioning, too, is that as I understand, this is a lifetime deal. Once you drop them, the process is very likely to continue. Not sure about other corners of the world, but it’s not exactly cheap either.
It is slow to finally start kicking in properly, and it’s not exactly interesting. As I’ve come to understand, while this combo is actually somewhat proven to actually be provable/consistent clinically, and can result in new growth or regrowth, most don’t get that. I didn’t, anyway, and that’s just my general practitioners words, not a specialists, so take it for what it is, with a grain of salt.
Edit: I also use ketokonazode shampoo or whatever it’s called infrequently. Not sure if that’s an active part of my own success with stopping the shed and retaining what’s left, so maybe it’s worth mentioning. That and minoxidil I can get without prescription at least around here. Finasterid requires a prescription though.
I can’t give the advice you probably want on the greys, but I’ve been there. I was fully grey by 30. It has probably been a net positive, honestly. I never fought it with dyes or anything.
Head and Shoulders as my every day shampoo works fine for me as my hair got thinner, but when I was younger there was a shampoo in Canada called Nizoral which was ketoconazole based apparently and it worked very well.
So head and shoulders forhair fall and growth??
Nizoral
Also you
mightneed finasteride/dutasteride medication to stop further losses. See a dermatologist or ask your family dr, you’re almost certainly going to need that and if you realy want to, monoxodil foam to try and help regrowth. These will need to be taken likely daily for as long as you want to keep your hair, your genetics is trying to get rid of it so you havr to actively mitigate that on an ongoing basisThere’s no no-bullshit magic potions that fix everytging and dont cause any pain in the ass unfortunately
Sorry, I wasn’t clear. The Nizoral was a dandruff shampoo. Very effective when my hair was thick but Head and Shoulders does fine now. My hair is thinner but I’m only about where you’re at in the pic regarding bald spot so I can’t really comment.
There are a lot of prescription treatments for balding these days that seem to work. I have never personally used them, but I know people who have, and they seemed to stop going bald.
Can you give me some by asking them ??
I no longer work with them. Everyone’s biology is different—you should see a hair loss doctor and get their advice for your own scalp.
As others have also mentioned, Minoxidil can be effective at slowing or stopping balding, with daily application, though it isn’t immediate (may take a couple of weeks to start showing results). It can vary a lot from person to person, so give it a shot for a couple of months before deciding whether to commit or not.
