Hair thinner on top... HELP !

[Don Wei]

I was always wondering whether my hair was a little thinner on top. I've heard people say it before but I did not pay that much attention. I was meditating today and I don't know what triggered the thought, but I suddenly got the idea to film the top of my head to see if my hair is actually thinner or if its just an optical illusion. Then when I watched the video I discovered my hair actually is thinner on top and then I suddenly panicked. I remembered that stress causes hair loss so I calmed myself down and tried to think if its possible that my hair has always been a little thinner on top. Nobody in my entire family is bald, so if if its true that i'm really balding its not genetics. How can I prevent balding ? I'm only 18 years old, i'm way too young for this. If I was an old man or if I was at least able to grow a beard I wouldn't mind it that much but i'm not ignoring this. I want to solve any health problem as early as possible that's why I want to know what to do to prevent this.

@Keyhole thanks I will definitely do that, I need to solve this early and quick.

Ok here is the trick, buy a hair brush. You can notice some very small spheres on the top of each pin that the hair brush has. Remove these spheres (might be doable by hand otherwise you probably need an eyebrow removal tool to pull them out). You should be left with a hair brush full of naked pins. Brush your hair daily with this by applying an adequate amount of force. This should hurt a little at least in the beginning but you will notice substantial difference in hair growth. What this does is by slightly scratching the skin of your scalp you get a large amount of blood to gather on the area. The blood very quickly starts repairing any damage that you might be having due to which you experience hair loss. 

Other than that make sure that your diet contains a lot of Vitamin A and Vitamin E foods. These are very important for hair and skin health and hair loss is one of the first symptoms of their deficiency.

Are you sure you also checked the males in your mothers family?

Why do you recommend that? Isn't that also bad for the heart just like coconut oil for which you made a posting some time ago?

[Don Wei]

@Michael569 nobody in my entire family is bald, all my ancestors had full heads of hair even at old age so if it is balding its not hereditary, thanks for the advice though.

[Don Wei]

@Toby yes both sides of my family literally no man I know in any side of the family suffers from hair loss. My dad is 69 years old and his hair isn't even half gray yet even though he has never dyed his hair, so comparing that to me also stressed me out. I probably shouldn't compare myself to him though. Even the thought of balding at 18 is scary to me. Today I massaged my hair with coconut oil. So I'll just have to wait for the results now.

Rosemary oil supposedly helps and also off label use of Propecia has been shown to block DHT so that you can keep what you have, but you'd need to talk to a doctor.
