I agree in some ways...
I think diffuse thinning is worst for yourself because you never quite know how bad it's getting. Is it getting thinner, are treatments working? looks good in this mirror, looks bad in that one.
With just recession, you can actually measure how far it's gotten...
This is the culmination of chewbaca's and ronaldkia's work.
"Hair Loss and Breathing"
or maybe it can get worse.... maybe we'll get "Hair Loss and Atoms"
bump.
Very good question, but I believe that before you hit puberty your hair on top is in fact as thick as your side/back hair. I know this is hard to believe - the hair on the back of my hair is like a god damn rug.
If anyone has any contradicting evidence I would be happy to hear it.
here's something you can try. Have a friend prepare 2 bottles for you. one with rogaine and one with this deadly mix. pick one without checking what it is and use it. repeat 3-4 times. check symptoms each time. If you get the symptoms all the time or none of the time, then it's a placebo effect...
ironic that hair loss treatment requires you to put all sorts of sh*t in your hair (and therefore shampoo often) when your hair will never look better than when you haven't washed it for a few days.
That is all... Carry on.
