Damn that sucks, I think its best to ask your doctor for advice.

@Anemus First, are you male? Second, is there a family history of baldness (mother's side included, not your mum, but your mom's brother or mom's father or grandfather)

AnemuS · **Posted:** Sun Sep 30, 2007 1:48 pm

well , its of cource maybe caused by the lack of eating food, and lack of sleep i guess, as i sleep about 6 hours a day , and well i sometimes even cannot eat cause while im in college its troublesome, there is shitty food

.. well im taking shover kinda often about 1-2 times a day, and using head&shoulders, but i dont think this shampoo can cause something :/

Nutrition can affect hair loss, but its not the usual culprit. Its genetics :/ More specifically, the follicular sensitivity to testosterone (not the lvl of testosterone mind you).

See your GP if you are concerned, though I wouldnt be at this stage. Your GP could refer you to your local trichologist if necessary.

Oh, and you dont have to shampoo your hair that often either :/

AnemuS · **Posted:** Sun Sep 30, 2007 1:56 pm

none of my parents brothers/sisters are bald, as well i have 2 brothers both of them have a good and healthy hair... and btw i am male...

sylhana if u can use english in some easier way i would appriciate it alot, as im not familiar with half of the words u say :/ those are doctor terms i bet, and its really hard to understand ..

i bet ive damaged it somehow bymyself, but what is the cause..

Stop seeing a pediatrician and go see a trichologist, they'll know a lot more than we do. As for my opinion, weak roots is usually caused by a vitamin deficiency, can't remember which one though, maybe B12? dunno

Yeah vitamin B. You can get those vitamin pills at the store.

My friend had the same problem, told him to get those pills and the problem was solved very fast.
You can get pills which contain 200% of the vitamin B you need each day.

Also, watch out with stress.

Hmm.

Its not that you lack vitamins. Its probably more that you lack proteins in your diet. For a start, make sure you get enough proteins in your diet. If you still see a lot of hair loss in the next couple of months, then go see a trichologist (hair specialist).

Since you dont have a family history of baldness, its less likely that it is genetic. So it is probably related to your diet.

Edit: Vitamin supplements are a waste of money for most ppl.

Head hair is a type of hair that is grown on the head (sometimes referring directly to the scalp)[citation needed].The most noticeable part of human hair is the hair on the head, which can grow longer than on most mammals and is more dense than most hair found elsewhere on the body. The average human head has about 100,000 hair follicles.Its absence is termed alopecia, commonly known as baldness. Anthropologists speculate that the functional significance of long head hair may be adornment, a by-product of secondary natural selection once other somatic hair had been lost. Another possibility is that long head hair is a result of Fisherian runaway sexual selection, where long lustrous hair is a visible marker for a healthy individual (with good nutrition, waist length hair—approximately 1 meter or 39 inches long—would take around 84 months, or about 7 years, to grow). Each follicle can grow about 20 individual hairs in a person's lifetime.Average hair loss is about 100 strands a day. The average human scalp measures approximately 120 square inches (770 cm²). These values are also reported by Desmond Morris[3] although it is not clear if these are applicable to both men and women.

yeah zinc its what ive heard thats why i thought im paranoid .. anyways 100 hair loss from the head? i think its total from all the places.. though still seems to be too much... >.>

about this vitamins.. i can only acquire them from the pills? or there is food i can eat to get it... i mean of cource if there is no other way id go and buy the pills... but i dont like taking pills , and i never do even if my head really hurts i preffer the natural things and ways of getting rid of it :p

about proteins too.. what exactly

Sylhana · **Joined:** Mar 2007 **Posts:** 3467 **Location:**

Just eat enough fruits and vegetables everyday, preferably 5 different colours

eg green (silverbeat), yellow (yellow capsicum), orange (an orange

), red (apple), purple (eggplant, or grapes) etc

As for protein, you get them from eating fish, chicken, beef, mutton etc and eat at least the size of your fist a day. You could also get some from milk and cheese.

i dunno iv'e seem some advert about some spray to use.. if your desperete maby you can try that

Male pattern baldness is passed down through the mothers side of family so if your dad and granddad are bald it doesn't matter, unless your granddad is your moms dad...

Shaved head, especially for older men, looks really good. It shows a lot of confidence, and only really ugly people look bad with no hair.

Think Bruce Willis.

Ahem. No family history + its more acute, so less likely to be genetically caused :/

Yeah, theres a 23 yr old in my IT classes, and well he shaved his head because he was going bald. Suits him I guess.

Oh and AnemuS I had that too ... I'd be on the comp and look at my desk, about 5-6 hairs on there. Just drink those vitamin drinks for bout a month and maintain a little less afterwards and it'll be ok.

Where I live there's a drink called 'Yakult' like a vitamin milk .... I highly recommend it.

It's sold in every supermarket here. It's normal and not like other drug taking paraphernalia.

Don't worry dude, when I was 13, I had pretty long hair, and everytime I took a shower, i'd loose like 20 hairs, and then when I'd comb it later, like another 30 came out.
It hought I was going bald, but now I have a really full head of hair less than a year later.

Don't worry about it, but if you really start to notice your hair thinning out, then stop being so active.
If you work out or something, then you lose your hair quicker.
So i'm sure it's the same if you're just really active.

But I wouldn't worry about it.

Bald People Are Ugly

I use to loose like a shit load of hair a day, but I have so much of them on my head i dont really care

AnemuS · **Posted:** Sun Sep 30, 2007 6:15 pm

well about the water thing, past year i was drinking less water and more shitty drinks from shops like cola,pepsi and this crap around :/ so i dont know maybe its lack of water drinking...

and another thing, i heard that balding maybe caused by a bad blood cycling on scalp(or how do u say it ) , and that chocolate is actually used to increase the blood cycling (for all the body not only on head) anyways the problem is that i never eat chocolate, in fact id say i hate chocolate and anything that contains it... maybe i should go against my hate and eat it?

and guys even if u think being bald is some kind of beauty, i wont agree with that if it happens with somebody 18years old...

This is funny, lol.
I have the same thing. I've had it for years.. no bald spot yet. I guess I noticed when my hair falls out because it's dark and noticable against my clothes and skin ect.
I'm taking some vitamins + I eat fruit every day and it seems to have reduced a bit. I also use baby shampoo now and it seems to be helping my hair as well. Maybe try that like once a week if you dont want to smell like a baby all the time
