my hair has been falling out recently, and I can't really see any way of stopping it. I've tried changing nearly everything I do, and nothing seems to help.

I had thought that it looked like it was coming back when I stopped wearing my favorite hat, but I'm not certain yet.

Buy a hat?

Diplocephalus · Posts: 863

well i wouldn't treat my baldness like a disease to hide

i guess a hat could be an option if it were a hot day!

when you do go bald, just shave your head. don't do a combover :(

No one on either side of my family has ever had this. To be fair, a lot of them died early from cancer, so the ones with hair in the 80s could just be mutants who didn't get the hair-killing and pancreatic/lung cancer genes.

It could also be stress related, which I suppose panic attacks could do to you. It's only thinning, thankfully, and not going away, and it's not so bad because my hair was helluva thick as a kid anyway. Still, it bothers me.

I haven't died of cancer yet, either. So I should just be content with the genes I got, I suppose.

That's my plan, whenever the bad stuff hits me.

yeah i tend to agree but guys i don't think i'd look good with a shaved head.

at all. =(

I think my hair loss might be because of stress, depression, and poor diet?

Maybe?

I'm not really rich enough to eat right or be happy.

Hey guys, Mr. Allard has done rather well in embracing his baldness.

I bet you can too! Be strong!

J. Allard is like a posterchild for X-Treme Makeover.

My dad is fairly bald. I get most of my stuff from him. Though, my grandpa is like amost 80 and he still has a full head of hair... and my hair is, bizarrely, not at all like any of theirs. So I have no idea when or if I will go that bald.

My hair does come out quite often [ie - every time I towel dry it or comb], but I don't know how normal or not-normal that is.

internisus · Posts: 961

I think it's pretty normal for hair to come out all the time when you comb or shower. I have really thick hair, and I think I heard somewhere that thick-haired people are more likely to lose it early. My dad didn't start going bald really until at least his mid-30s, and sometimes I look at myself and think my hairline is receding (I'm 23) but it's probably my imagination. I really don't know how to tell without putting permanent marker up on my forehead.

No one is bald on my Mom's side of the family, everyone on my Dad's side is. I think that is good.

I'm very paranoid about my receded hairline, but it doesn't seem like I have the typical horseshoe male pattern baldness thing going.

I think depression, stress, and a history of borderline alcoholism and drug abuse are the culprits. And my hairline has always been pretty far back, going back to elementary school.

Not I. Although my father went bald rather early, every male on my mother's side of the family had or has a full head of hair for life. So!!

there's baldness genes on my grandmother's side, but nowhere else, so I'm essentially in the clear. I think my hair genes came from my native american side as well.

Not that I actually know how it works. I'm also only 18, which isn't definitively too late for signs to show up.

I have really long hair too. Never had it short before, if I started losing it I might just have it all cut off then made into a wig in an act of pure denial, defiance, and terror.

I dunno; he could have been a good supporting actor on The X-Files, before.

dhex · Posts: 2963

i never got into the x-files, so i can't say either way.

going by my family's past i'll probably die of various kinds of cancer (all my grandparents did so long before my conception), so i guess my best chances at getting bald would be chemo therapy. ^-^
