My hair loss started around age 22. Before that I had amazingly thick healthy hair, and of course never thought about hairloss. The furthest thing from my young mind was that I would start thinning. My father is a NW7 or so and has been shiny bald since his 40's. This didn't worry me due to the fact the we look nothing alike. I just didn't think about hair loss and genetics back then. The men on my mom's side of the family all have thick wavy hair into their 50's & 60's. In the 5 years since my hairline has "only" receeded an inch or so. Even with my teenager hair I had what I lovingly call a 5-head. So a receeding hairline has really hurt my self-esteem and my looks. |
