Current Events > A shitty part of getting older is hair loss paranoia.

(+) Yeah! (+)

I'm in the shower washing my hair, look at my hands and see (what I think) is a few too many hairs.. "Fuck fuck fuck, I'm going bald!" >_>

Then everyone I talk to assures me it's normal to lose some hair like that, "science" says people lose something like 100-300 hairs every single day (seems like a lot but whatever).

I look at old pictures and my hairline looks the same, but I don't know how I can even tell for sure?

Guys of CE that are currently dealing with or have dealt with hair loss, what were some of the signs that it was happening to you? It would be nice to catch it early enough to do something. I'm turning 32 this year and feel fortunate to have a full head of hair up until now, but I really don't want to lose it until I'm much older or at all really.. that's a scary thought to me because I feel like a lot of my look/identity is tied to my hair.

It happens.

Preach it, brother. I don't think I am but every once in a while I feel like I might be.

I'm 27 and my hair line has been climbing for the last 5 years. I had such thick hair in my teens too.
---

Yeah, my dads totally bald and my older brothers well into balding but Im still good in my mid 20s. So Ive missed the first wave of balding, but cant really be sure for a good while. Not interested in combatting it if I start losing it.

Either way Im at least thankful Ill have a full head throughout my first phase of manhood.

me too, its adrenal fatigue. stress destroys the body.

I shampoo my hair about once a week and every time I do I see about like 40 hairs in my hands after I'm done.

I receded at the temples like 6 years ago and thankfully it hasn't seemed to get worse. But seeing that always freaks me out a bit.

I made it to 40 with all my hair, so I just don't give a shit now that it's thinning.

Don't worry, it comes back in your ears and nose.
