What should I do about my hair thinning and hair loss?

I've just recently noticed that my hairline is receding and that I'm thinning in the front. One of my grandfathers was bald and the other had thin hair. My mother has thin hair. My brother has always had thin hair and started balding at 18. My father has thick hair and is only balding a little in the front. I'm 28 and have always had lush beautiful thick hair. In the past 2 years I've noticed the front thinning out and my hairline receding. I have little scabs sometimes and tiny scraggly hairs on my hairline and under bright lights I can see right through my hair on the front. The back and sides are still thick though.



I've started to research the many claimed ';solutions'; and ';cures';. I know it's a multi billion dollar business and results aren't typical. I don't buy into fake b.s. and am not looking to wasting my money. I'm not into taking pharmaceuticals or having sexual side effects. I did see this video which interested me.

So basically I'm just in the early stages of thinning right now. Should I tackle this head on, no pun intended, and try and prevent anymore thinning and eventual hair loss, or just let nature take its course and hope for a future cure?



Has anyone had and success and proof, i.e. before and after pics, with any type of treatment?



There has got to be a real natural cure for this.What should I do about my hair thinning and hair loss?
Actually, you might not be going bald from genetics if you have scabs on your head. See if you are getting enough protein and invest in a good haircare system, like Redken shampoo, conditioner, and its super treatment. Only wash your hair every few days and let the natural oils sit on your head to get your scalp back in shape, you should even do an olive oil treatment while you sleep. Heat up some extra virgin olive oil and let it sit in your hair overnight and just put a shower cap or bandanna on your head. What you need to do is make your scalp have the environment not to get scabs. Chances are, your scalp is dry. Consistent dry scalp leads so small, microscopic scars... and hair cannot grow on a scar EVER. Do a little research to find out what you may be missing from your diet (protein is the base of all skin growth) and your scalp should start healing. You may grow hair back or you may only prevent future hair loss.



Also, if you style your hair stop using harsh products. Ask your stylist, barber, whomever for products that wont lead to a dry scalp. For instance, if you use product to just get the stray hairs into place, use a little bit of olive oil instead. It will hold all day, give a nice shine, and condition your hair. Keep in mind, you may have to work from the inside (your diet) out (how you treat your hair)What should I do about my hair thinning and hair loss?
grow old gracefully
if you are going bald you cant stop it... just embrace the baldness!
Only way to change anything is to change your Genes .... You know that is not possible. Sorry to be straightforward. I believed the same thing as you did ... there should be a solution that works, as men have around for long. Guess what, the hair transplant companies have made a big business out of this problem and will not easily let go. There is no funding for a genetic solution .... as there is only loss for them ...



There are somethings that may decrease the rate of loss ... but none can ever stop it. Ultimately, it will lead to balding. It ain't that bad ... believe me.



Try Rogaine, reduce stress ... when you are ready you can try other solutions such as hair transplants ... but none really cure it all. It can be expensive as well.



Good luck,
