Post Hair Loss Questions and Get Answers

At the first sign of obvious hair loss, men and women are immediately concerned with whether or not the condition will progress and if so, how much will they lose and how long will it last.

While genetic female hair loss and male pattern baldness is progressive, not everybody experiences the same amount and degrees of hair loss. To see the varying patterns and degrees of balding experienced by men and women, see the Norwood Scale and Ludwig Scale of hair loss.

Given that men and women suffer from varying degrees of baldness, is there a way to determine just how it will progress for each person? Members of our community are asking the same question. To see what other members are saying and to offer your input, visit this discussion topic.

Differentiating between fact and fiction when it comes to hair loss can be tough. That’s why our hair restoration community works to uncover the many hair loss fallacies you may have heard or read about since you were young. Below, we expose several popular hair loss myths, their origins, and reveal the solid truth about hair restoration and treatments for baldness.

Wearing a Hat May Cause you to Go Bald

This popular hair loss myth often scares teenagers away from wearing their favorite hat or head covering. The reality is, hats don’t cause or contribute to genetic female hair loss or male pattern baldness. Genetics is the actual culprit.

Hair Loss is Caused by Stress

Are you afraid the daily stress of work and life will cause you to go bald? Don’t worry, it won’t. Only severe traumatic stress has been known to cause a temporary and sudden thinning hair known as telogen effluvium. However, once the stressor has been reduced or eliminated, in almost all cases, hair growth returns to normal. Learn more about stress and other non-genetic causes of hair loss.

Balding Comes from Your Mother’s Father

Traditionally, men were taught that they would follow after their mother’s father when it comes to hair loss. Conversely, women were taught to believe hair loss is linked to their father’s mother. And while this isn’t a total fallacy, the baldness gene is not linked strictly to only one relative. In fact, the genetic link is to any member or members of both your mother’s and father’s side of the family. Learn more about androgenic alopecia.

Days or even weeks away from undergoing hair restoration surgery, patients often experience anxiety and doubt as to whether or not they’re making the right decision.  After all, surgical hair replacement is no walk in the park.

It’s normal to have doubts and still go through with a hair transplant.  But it’s also important to be comfortable with the plan of action you and your hair restoration physician decided on to help you meet your goals.

Forum member “Raphael84” recently expressed some anxiety and reservations he had about proceeding with hair replacement surgery now that he is only a few weeks ago.  To see how members are responding and offer your own experience and input, visit “Second Thoughts”.

The notion that injuring the scalp can potentially increase the effectiveness of proven topical hair loss treatments has caught the attention of our hair restoration forum community.  The Nanogen Scalproller claims it can help treat thinning hair and improve the effects of any topical treatment for baldness by slightly wounding the skin with its small titanium needles.  Allegedly, the wounds allow for quick and efficient penetration and absorption of topical hair loss treatments into the skin.

To discuss the Nanogen Scalproller and its ability in aiding the effectiveness of proven treatments such as Rogaine foam, visit this discussion thread.

I am very bald. The crown of my head almost completely bald as is the top of my head. The crazy thing is that I am only 20 years old!

I have looked online and read a few things and have yet to find someone who has had issues with balding that are as worse than or even equal to mine. I was maybe in my second year of highschool when I noticed it. I told people that I thought I was starting to experience hair loss and everyone told me I was crazy. By the time I graduated these same people were telling me that there are solutions to hair loss. Two years later people told me to shave it all the way off. I was good looking in highschool, played on the basketball team, had many girlfriends, great confidence and I felt like I was on top of the world. Since I noticed myself balding all of these things slowly went out the window, my confidence, the cute girls, and my over all happiness.

The first step to taking control over your hair loss is to learn about and understand it. Learn what causes hair loss. It’s also important to learn to recognize and eradicate all hair loss myths from your memory. Unfortunately, there is no cure for thinning hair. However, the more you learn about balding and its causes, the better chance you’ll develop realistic hair restoration goals and expectations.

Balding men and women with minimal hair loss are usually at a great advantage over those who’ve already lost a great deal of hair. Propecia (finasteride) for men only and Rogaine (minoxidil) for men and women have been proven effective in slowing down, stopping, and even reversing hair loss. Treating baldness early can often save much of a person’s natural hair from falling out due to genetics, the most common cause of hair loss today.

Hair transplantation may be a viable option for t hose w ho are qualified. Because hair transplant results vary, it’s important to select a surgeon with an excellent reputation for producing consistent quality results and standing behind their patients. The Hair Transplant Network has carefully reviewed many physicians over the last 10 years by gathering patient experiences and visiting their clinics to determine who is worth recommending. You are encouraged to carefully evaluate any clinic you are considering for surgery. You can search through over 10 years of patient posted experiences and photos by using the find feature on our hair restoration forum.
