My Hair Looks Thinner – Am I Going Bald?
Category: Causes of Hair Loss , Common Questions , General Hair Loss Topics , Non Surgical Treatments , Propecia (Finasteride) , Rogaine (Minoxidil)I have noticed my hair looks thinner. I can notice this when I’m under a light and and when my regular hairstyle does not look the same. Am I going bald?
This could very well be the start of a genetic hair loss known as androgenic alopecia or male pattern baldness. Hereditary alopecia is initiated when the hormone DHT (dihydrotestosterone) binds to the receptor sites of hair follicles causing them to shrink and eventually, the follicles will no longer produce new hair.
You may want to look into medical treatments like Propecia (finasteride) and Rogaine (minoxidil) which can help slow down, stop, or even reverse hair loss. These non-surgical solutions are typically pretty effective in early stages of loss, and are virtually non-effective in completely bald areas.
