Dear All,
Well where do I start?
Have you ever seen a guy on the streets and said to yourself “I wish I had hair like that� I was that guy. The guy with a perfect straight and bouncy hair. I used to experiment with hairstyles nearly every quarter and received compliments left, right and center. But as the saying goes ‘Good times and bad times will pass’, I was a victim of the former way too early and this is my story.
I am extremely lucky to be born in a well to do family with my parents running a very successful business. My mom has beautiful hair, but the same couldn’t be said for my dad. I was told that baldness runs in my family, but I thought I was an exception. Boy was I so wrong.
When I was 16, I started seeing some grey hair. I went into instant depression and thought my life is over. I started oiling my hair in order to hide the whites. I was afraid to color my hair cause I thought if anyone would find out, it would completely ruin my reputation. It took me sometime, but I got over the depression. Oiling the hair was not the best solution, but it was better than going out with bunch of clearly visible grey hairs. My GF finally talked me into coloring my hair and the results were amazing. Since then I would get color done every half-year and a few regular touchups and it always worked like a charm. I thought this is an end to all my hair worries.
Moving forward, I am 19 years old and have extremely long hair. Even longer than my GF. My hair always attracted a lot of attention wherever I used to go and I loved every moment of it. I used so many chemicals over the period to ensure I get desirable style. I used to see a hairstyle in magazine and if I liked it, I could easily go to salon and get it done. Even the barber used to complement my hair.
At this point it will be safe to say that my hair was the strongest point of my appearance.
I was 22 and my hairstyle was now something like Zac Efron. I really loved this hairstyle and it was probably the best way I have ever kept it. I liked it so much that I never bothered changing it for a long time. One day when I decided to give up on that hairstyle and go for a backbrush look, I immediately noticed that something is insanely wrong. I could see some hairline receding. I brushed it in a way I used to keep one of my older hairstyles and it didn’t look same. I thought I am imagining things and decided to continue with the Zac Efron hairstyle.
When I was 23, I started yoga. This is where I first noticed my hair falling. Every session there was bunch of hair near the mat. I started looking for my hair fall and could see it everywhere. In the shower, towel, pillow, bed, floor, carpet. It was driving me insane. Even the barber pointed out that my hair is going very thin.
At start of my 24, my dad bought a small unit abroad and asked me to relocate to get the facilities up and running. I got distracted and slowly began forgetting about my hair loss. After 8 months when I returned home, all my friends kept asking me whats wrong with my hair. Even my GF said what kind of sh*t hairstyle is this? My hair became so thin that no matter how I kept it, it looked horrible.
I started having sleepless nights, felt distracted during work. No longer wanted to socialize. Started ignoring my friends and stayed in room nearly the whole day. I visited several dermatologists and everyone had their own opinion. I bought all shitty products like laser comb, stupid tonics upon their recommendations. So many false promises with no progress. I spent thousands on stupid treatments to just find out my hair is getting worse. My GF started ignoring me saying I am not the same person anymore. She said that its just hair, don’t let it take over your personality. Eventually we broke up. I felt completely miserable.
Finally I started researching on Internet and came to a conclusion that there is no cure for hereditary hair loss. I started relying more on hair transplant. I saw the before and after photos, but concluded that it is impossible to get the desired hairstyle with transplant.
I am 25 now. I have started using concealers on my crown area. My thin hair irritates me so much. Even a bit of sweat completely ruins my hairstyle. I spend atleast 15-20mins in morning trying to get my hair perfect and little wind ruins the show.
After much thought, I have decided to go with hair systems. I have a lot of questions on systems. Hence, decided to join this forum.
