So basically since October I have noticed that whenever I shower, a lot of hair seems to come off on my hands. Just in the months since then, I have noticed a crazy amount of thinning on top. My temples receding are really the only thing noticeable as of yet though. To give you a comparison, I had an afro in highschool and every hairdresser I have been to assured me I would never go bald because my hair was so thick. But the rate it is coming out now it's pretty ****ed...went to the derm and got 5% minoxidil foam and ever since I have been applying that **** and it seems it has been getting worse. Got it a month ago and haven't really been using it religiously like I should though, often only applying once a day or missing a day etc.
But what I'm wondering is if I am starting this too soon. I mean I'm clearly balding, but the rate it is happening seems so fast, where as most people it sounds like it started in their 20s and by like 30 something they are really noticing it. Wondering if it will slow down, because at this rate with the minoxidil it feels like I'll be bald within a year. I don't want to shed like I've read from the other people on here and not have it actually grow back.
Looking at those pictures actually, I can now see noticeable thinning near the crown. **** me.
