Thinning hair

[FPM]

If I got my hair thinning genes from my dad, I'll have a full head of colored hair when I'm 60. If I got the genes from my mom, I'll be bald by the time Im 30.

Well I picked up a Multivitamin today. The box advertised it as good for your skin, hair, and nails. I'm also going to try to eat better. If fate is willing I might fix my sleeping habits.

Medications can do it also - not just that "chemo" stuff. My sister-in-law once had to take Accutane, and her hair got considerably thin while she was on it. Stuff like beta-blockers or lithium can also cause that.

How did that go? Did things ever improve for her?

I have a big forehead, or is it a receding hairline?

Always been like that though, and I still grow my hair in whenever it gets cut...but you never know. Grandpa and uncles are bald. Dad isn't. We'll see.

Have you ever heard the song "I Think I'm Going Bald" by Rush?
hehe... it's off of "Caress of Steel"....

I too am going bald, I intend to get some of this Rogain as well.

I always heard that it's hereditary. Look to your mothers father for the sign.

And what's so vain about wanting to keep your hair?

Hopefully the vitamins & cutting down on junkfood will help. Hang in there.

From what I've heard, Accutane hairloss is generally temporary- usually resolving once the medicine is discontinued. It did help her breakouts though. She lives quite far away and we haven't been on the best of terms lately , so it's been a long time since I've seen or heard from her.

I have an afro.

.... and I'm white. (And no, I don't like rap. I find it comical)

Is Richard Simmons your idol?

Who'll you look like?

It's actually the mother's brother. While not 100% indicative of your future hairline, your best bet for guessing is your uncles on your mom's side.

My uncle Dave has a full head of hair, so I may be safe.

I heard smoking can drastically thin out your hair, might wanna cut that out if your smoking and thinning. And while nothing can bring back your hair if you catch it early a combo of rogaine and propecia can stop the balding, I read that in Men's Health.
