    Sadscalps Story (23 / NW3+diffuse thinning) PICS pg3

    I'm doing strip. I don't really care if I have a scar on the back of my head. I already have a different scar on the back of my head (which apparently doesn't effect the donor area), perhaps I can combine both scars into a super cool story.

    Hair Transplant at H&W coming up...

    No one on my moms side is bald. My dad started balding in his 40s. I don't have any diffuse thinning or crown hair loss that I have observed. Just a receding hairline and perhaps some thinning above the forelocks. I've been on propecia for 7 months -- I did discontinue usage for a couple...

    Sadscalps Story (23 / NW3+diffuse thinning) PICS pg3

    I know exactly how you feel. I'm 22 and have suffered through the pains of hair loss. I think I'd classify myself as a Norwood 3/4... I'm not quite sure. Anyways, it's really, really hard to deal with. The worst part is it has shattered my confidence. People say girls don't care about hair...

    Hair Transplant at H&W coming up...

    I've decided to go for a hair transplant at H&Ws to fill in my receded temples. I'm very young though, almost 23. I guess I feel that with propecia and I can stall any future fair loss for the next little while. If I continue to lose hair I'll still have plenty of grafts from my donor hair...

    Chris' Story (22 / with pics!)

    Re: Chris' story (w/ pics) Thanks for the response. I had been on propecia for about 7 months with no side effects and I definitely felt like my hair loss has subsided. But your definitely right, going on the internet to find a representative story on the effects of propecia isn't a good...

    Chris' Story (22 / with pics!)

    Re: Chris' story Last one is me just getting out of bed... with hair. I kind of officially 'snapped' the other day and buzzed off my hair, even though I could have still gotten away with the combed forward look. I was just tired of the maintenance of it, and was also curious as to how...

    Chris' Story (22 / with pics!)

    Re: Chris' story Why isn't it allowing me to update pictures? In the meantime, might as well just explain that essentially I've lost a lot of hair around the temples, but no hair on my crown area really. I feel if I get a transplant (being very conservative minded of course about potential...

    Chris' Story (22 / with pics!)

    I've posted here a couple of times, but I'd just like to share some pics with you guys and hear your opinions. Basic things to know: I'm 22, I've been noticeably losing hair for a year and a half. I think I started taking propecia about 7 months ago. I discontinued my usage in late December...

    Discontinuing usage of propecia; feeling frustrated

    Lately I've been feeling very down about my hair situation. Tonight was probably the lowest I've felt in awhile. I've decided to stop taking propecia -- I've taken it for 7 months with seemingly decent results but I've come to the conclusion that the risks involved are not worth it. If I ever...

    "It's okay, the average person loses 50-100 hairs a day"

    Is it realistic to find any solace in that statement? My hair has thinned quite a lot at the temples, and slightly above the forelocks. I still have plenty of hair and I just comb my hair forward to cover it up. I don't think people realize how significant my hair loss is, they just think I...
