If your hairloss has stabilized, it sounds like youre a prime candidate for a transplant. You're aware of the risk (strange hair patterns), which is good, and you're old enough (is there a minimum age? kids can get plastic surgery). You shouldnt need too many grafts so it should be realitvly inexpencive. Though it does sound like you could get by shaving off the other area to match.

I would not get a transplant at 23. I wouldn't even consider one before I turned 28, unless I was suffering from an advanced level of loss.

Re: Time to suck it up or get this stuff fixed.

I'm 23... my hair started falling out when I was 20. By the time I was 21 I started taking finasteride but I the dmg was done... ~Norwood 1 on left side and really odd type of Norwood 1-2 on right side. It's like this evil half horse shoe. Rogaine doesn't work and gives me really gnarly rashes... I have thin blond hair and I'm thinking of just sucking it up and going for the quarter inch shaved look.

My hair has held steady with finasteride and I'll eventually switch over to dutasteride. I do think stress played a part in my hairloss considering my largest shed happened over a 4month period (broken ankle). My older bro of 3 years is also balding but on a much slower pace (my life is much more stressful than his). I am considering a transplant... i do not scar and I have more than enough hair on the back and sides of my head. Do you think I can even get a transplant at this age? I'm not worried about having weird balding patterns... if the rest of my hair goes out I can always get electrolysis on the transplanted hairs and just be a pure baldy.

Honestly, I look like a balding 16 year old... this sh1t has got to stop.

Would suggest that you try adding Dr. Lees PPG free minoxidil, nizoral shampooo and folligen products. Give that another year and the look at a transplant.

Good luck :lol:

Yes try a less irritating minoxidil formula if you are serious about regrowth.

axon, if you were in my shoes(being 19 and halfway bald), you'd have no qualms with transplants.

Peterock,

The stress in your life did not affect your hair. A hair transplant would not be a wise solution for you only because since your pattern has just begun it is likely you would need multiple hair transplants to compensate for the continued loss. That would cost considerable resources. Dutasteride would be a good option (with nizoral) and its possible minoxidil might work better with the dutasteride.

This morning i saw this guy who had a hair transplant disaster. His hairline was impeccable, and he had 1 inch of hair right up front.... the the rest of his head back was completely bald... so obvoius and weird looking. Don't do the hair transplant until you're stabilized or mad a valient effort as treatments.

If you're past a Norwood 3, no, I would not have a problem with it.

Hence me stating "an advanced level of baldness."
