Hairloss at young age

Ozair · January 28, 2010, 8:13am

ok I am a male.. my hair loss started at 17 years of age.. hairloss that is called ‘receding hairline’.. mainly I caused this hairloss due to unnecessary stress, dieting to lose wieght.. which i think left me nutritionally weak and I lossed hair at the front.. my crown area is safe..

I have starting having ‘anda pratha’ for breakfast and normal meals for the day..
another problem is that i am a hostelite now.. so food is the most important problem for me here.. eating from bazaar caused motions and sickness.. however I have got a cook somehow..

so overall.. I need a sound advice so I can stop this hairloss and make my hair strong and thick.. I looked for a supplement ‘Biotin’ which is known to be very good for hair and skin.. but many pharmacies in Lahore dont even know its name… I also took some finasteride for 1 and half month but it didnt helped either..

Please help me this… this problem is extremely depressing.. I want to overcome this problem…

Re: Hairloss at young age

Don't blame yourself; stress or diet isn't what causes hair loss.. it's in your genes. Sorry but you can't change that, and you cannot prevent it.

almost everyone has some form of a receding hairline as you get in your 20's and 30's. don't worry about it. dont be depressed over this, it's a natural part of life.

and seriously don't taking medicines without consulting a doctor. finasteride can have nasty side effects.

I dont agree to your answer.. stress, depression, poor diet DOES causes hairloss..

Talk to a skin specialist.

Most of the time it is familial/genetic. Look at the picture of your older brother or father closely.

Avoid trying products which could even cause harm. Avoid strong shampoos, hair sprays used for keeping them stiff or 'in shape'.

Check if you have dandruff or any fungal infection.

Re: Hairloss at young age

are men on either side of your family bald?

rubbing crap on your scalp will not help.

Have you seen a GP to diagnose the cause of your alopecia and refer you to the proper specialist to treat your hairloss?

Increase the intake of protein rich food like eggs, milk, cheese. Better if you also can take murabba of amla everyday. One in a month, massage your head with mustard oil.
