I think my mother has traction alopecia and my dad has androgenetic alopecia. I'm noticing some hairloss in me (I'm just 21). I can't determine which of these two types my hairloss is. Of course, everytime someone gets a hairloss, the default assumption is that it's androgenetic alopecia...

...hairloss I tend to take a shower immediately after I wake up (well, after breakfast, that is). Of course, some hair strands would normally be tangled after I wake up. I notice that I tend to lose more hair after shampooing if my hair are tangled (about 10 strands at most). If I...

...anything to hair loss? Note: I couldn't put the last 4 words in the thread title because of the character limit. Anyway, I assume that the hair strands that fall out when you comb are those in the telogen phase, so however you comb your hair is irrelevant But to be sure, I bought...

The brand of minoxidil I buy in my country doesn't come with a scalp cleanser. It comes with a specially formulated shampoo though (like I actually needed it). My hair is growing at a normal rate. I don't know if my hair count has decreased. The only thing noticeable is the thinning of the...

Can it actually promote hair regrowth?

I mean, those strands that are on you pillow when you wake up and those strands that are on your hand when you shampoo you hair? It gives me stress all the time. I know that I should avoid stress if I want to maintain my hair, but I just can't help it if I see 3,4 or 5 strands on my pillow...

I mean, it's like 99% of all shampoos do that. If the shampoo has a conditioner, then it will soften the hair even more. They even show in the ads some things like softening effects where there's almost no friction when the hair is being brushed. For a person having hair loss, would...

Just wondering. What exactly does it do to a person's pre-existing hair strands?

I'm looking for the most natural way way of making my hair strands thicker? Can hair gel help? How true are the claims that it can cause hair loss? Is it OK to apply a hair gel immediately after applying minoxidil? I mean, some parts of my hair would have a shiny look to them after...

How do I deal with that? I couldn't say that my head is covered with lots of vellus hairs cuz they're still pigmented, and they still grow on a normal rate, but they're thin.

I'm just wondering cuz the test subjects of hair treatment experiments are mostly whites. Maybe the effects could vary if the race of the test subjects is different.

Well, I just notice that more white men are susceptible to balness than any other race. Therefore, is the effectiveness of hair treatments formulas also race dependent?

Since people have varying levels of baldness, I'm confused as to how much area should the 1 ml cover.

I'm talking about those of you who are at the earliest stages of hair loss. Are you tempted to apply more minoxidil cuz a lot of it just gets into your hair strands? I mean, using the dropper or spray is irrelevant cuz you still have to rub the minoxidil after applying it. Do I have to...
