Interesting thoughts on my own hairloss (please read)

Hey guys,

Since I now consider myself a regular around here, I feel a little bit more comfortable discussing personal details.

I am in a band who tours regularly. I've been very slowly thinning and receding at the temples since about 20 (now 24).

Throughout the summer of '05 I was on tour constantly. While on tour, I ate sickening amounts of fast food, barely slept, drank copiously every evening, dabbled in narcotics here and there smoked at least 1 pack of cigs per day, and was unable to consistently shower every day. To be blunt, I beat the sh*t out of my body.

In early September '05, we came home and I've been home every since (recording an album, break from touring). By mid september I noticed my hair had taken a fairly drastic turn for the worse and I became increasingly depressed.

Long story short, I found this website, began researching religiously, got on the big 3 in mid-november, THOROUGHLY changed my diet to a MUCh healthier one, got on a great supplemental nutrition regimen, all in the hopes of reversing my hairloss.

I have a feeling that general health and diet play a fairly large role in the rate and severity of male pattern baldness. I haven't notice my hair get any better since implementing these changes, perhaps its gotten slightly worse, but I'm hoping to see some progress in the next few months, considering I'm hitting my hairloss from many angles.

My question is has anyone else had a similar period of malnutrition followed by a drastic decrease in hair quality?

Oh yeah, please don't ask what band i'm in, trust me we are not well known (but are on our way hopefully, hehe). I'd really prefer to keep my anonymity intact.
thanks for reading, brothers.

I wasn't guessing who you are dude, you're clearly not the frontman for Megadeath if you're in an up and coming band (or suffering from hair loss). I was offering Mustaine up as an example to show that you can binge on booze, coke and heroin while still maintaing the hair you had at 15. :)

That's not to say I completely disagree with you. I think a sh*t lifestyle can make hair loss worse if you're predisposed to it, much like a steroid. Of course, this is purely speculation on my part.

re:

While I agree with the op's post to an extent, the fact is I think that if you have the male pattern baldness gene your hair will be sh*t regardless of what you eat. Look at all of the fat guys walking around with nice thick heads of hair if you want further proof. I even sit next to one at work every day who eats like a pig and seems to alternate between having Arby's and Wendy's for lunch every day. Sad part is, the guy gets way more attention than me from women even though I'm in great shape because they are always complementing him on his hairstyle. Before anyone says that it could be his personality that women like, he barely says a word and he isn't funny so that isn't it.

Correct. Nonetheless:

Can't argue with that.

can't argue with that; his voice is just a cheap imitation of Hetfield's, who I don't even think is that a great singer in the first place.

Conclusion: Dave Mustaine is a medicore talent, but has amazing hair.

Come on, that is totally bull sh*t, a fat guy getting attention from girls because he has a full set of hair. Trust me man, a girl would rather have a guy who is in great shape than someone who is very fat with great hair. That fat guy probably pays attention to detail and makes the best of what he has instead of thinking he is not good enough because he is fat. My advice, girls pay a good amount attention to detail if you are starting to get the horseshoe shave your head. Girls would rather have a man who is clean shaved than a man grasping to his last few hairs, also guys who work out look good with a shaved head. That is what I am told anyway.
