I just don't understand how my hair works

[Caillou]

I shed very little these days, never notice any hairs falling out like i did before. Like even after getting my head wet, combing hard and playing with my wet hair i get like 20 hairs max and most of them are the thin baby hairs not even the terminal ones

Yet despite shedding very low amounts of hair for a male pattern baldness sufferer, i've went from diffuse NW2 to heavily diffuse retrograde NW3A in just a month and i'm jumping over norwood levels like i'm undergoing chemotherapy. At this rate i will literally be bald within 2 years even though i'm barely shedding

How is this possible? I don't get it

Same here! It's not like I am shedding a lot. You could say that I am shedding the normal and maybe fewer hairs. The miniaturization process, the telogen to anagen ratio, and the 5AR activity/AR activity are far far more important than shedding. I experience it myself. Despite the shed on Finasteride, my hair was getting thicker, and I was having a regrowth simultaneously. Shedding does not always mean balding.

Visible loss is much better of an indicator than shedding

Nah bro, it's all about microscopic pictures. Haven't you heard how the new generations go bald microscopically?

Yes, if your scalp is more visible, losing density, losing thickness in the hair shaft diameter, then you know that something is totally wrong.

Microscopically i have a full head of hair still lol. Even now i can still see the miniaturized colorless hairs on the bald scalp if i look closely

Yes, technically we're all NW0 with hiding, shy hairs. It's kinda fucked up because if we can only revive those hairs we would have thick NW0s again
