Receding Hairline at 20?
Question by nmm: receding hairline at 20?
im 20 years old and am in very good shape and i eat very well. lately however, i’ve noticed that my hair line is slightly receding on one side, and that my hair is also kind of thin around the ears (retrograde alopeca maybe?), and ive been experiencing fatigue and low libido. I also recently dealt with a case of prostatitis which may be involved? the weird thing is that its very thick on top, which is where you’re suppose to lose hair in mpb. my dad pretty much has a full head of hair. my uncle on my moms side is definitely a little thinner but not bald, and my grandpa on my moms side had a full head of hair when he died at 64. Im just wondering if you think its legit hair loss or another condition like a hormone imbalance or something. Thanks all.

Google Prince William, his father Prince Charles, his grand father Prince Philip. Those are examples of hereditary hair loss.

IF you’re a FLIGHT ATTENDANT: Alaska Airlines flight attendants say their uniforms are causing rashes and hair loss.
According to Seattle’s King 5 News , the year-old uniforms may contain Tributyl phosphate. The Association of Professional Flight Attendants said 10 percent of the airline’s 2,800 attendants are suffering from itching, hair loss, and other adverse health reactions.
One flight attendant told King 5 News, “I’ve never had a uniform like this. I broke out this week. I broke out on my back first, then on my legs. I don’t know what it is, or whether it’s the uniform. But, I didn’t have it until I flew 6-7 days in a row and then I started breaking out.”
Example: Head & Shoulders anti-dandruff shampoo, Zinc pyrithione, an effective antifungal and antibacterial agent, is an often-prescribed medication to treat dandruff and other symptoms related to scalp and hair. It is most known for being in the Head & Shoulders brand of anti-dandruff shampoo, at 1-percent potency.
An estimated 10 million men in Taiwan suffer from scalp and hair irritations, with 5 million men in danger of hair-loss. One in two men report symptoms of dandruff, itchiness and excessively oily hair and scalp.
Apart from using an inappropriate shampoo, the increasing rate of hair-loss and scalp irritation is due to Taiwan’s humid climate, which promotes symptom-inducing bacterial and fungal growth.
According to studies, the genus of fungi Malasseziaa globossa is often identified as the primary cause of hair and scalp irritations among men. Doctors urge the public to consult physicians and pharmacists before conducting treatment.
Dove hairfall facts:
1. Humidity makes hair dry and brittle, leading to hairfall
2. Colouring the hair damages the hair strands leading to breakage
3. Pollution is also an unseen killer of healthy hair
4. Tangled hair is the most common reason for hair fall
5. While shampooing cleanses your hair, regular conditioning is required for adequate moisturization. Regular use of conditioner post shampoo also solves the problem of entangling which is the major cause of hairfall.
HEAT & CHEMICALS are hair’s worst enemies. You’ve got any of those on your hair?
Supplements, medications, anti-acne products, hair oil, birth control pills, pollution in the water, to name just a few . . . ALL HAVE SIDE EFFECTS. Watch the movie called SIDE EFFECTS. Example: “I used minoxidil drug to restore the hair on my head; however, I ended up with unwanted body hair. I don’t know if it is temporary or I have to seek medical treatment.” YA poster 9-27-12.

Any reactions to a drug – like Vitamin B complex which is a supplement – ‘side effect’ is a negative reaction to a drug – this is your body telling you that what you just gave it is toxic to it, and instead of helping you, it is actually hurting you. It is your body’s way of telling you to stop. All drugs have side effects, and are toxic…even lethal…to some people at some dosage. Another term for toxic is poisonous. We owe it to ourselves to try less toxic treatments first. Especially since too many drugs merely cover up symptoms rather than treat the underlying cause of the symptom in the first place.
Again, a simple rule of thumb: Look for the American Hair Loss Association seal when considering purchasing any product or service to treat your hair loss.
