Tips Of All Sorts

In the past, prospective patients considering hair transplants had limited online information about clinics they were considering. But recently, we’ve been successful in getting almost all surgeons recommended on the Hair Transplant Network to present examples of their work on our forum.  See “Recommended Clinics Required to Present their Patient Results on our Forum”.

What a great opportunity for prospective patients to see real results from a larger variety of hair restoration clinics they are considering. To see a number of patient examples from a number of leading clinics throughout the world, visit “Patient Results Posted by Leading Hair Transplant Clinics”.

You are encouraged to check this section regularly and give genuine feedback to the doctors regularly presenting examples of their work. Remember that your regular feedback of a surgeon’s results contributes to advancing the hair replacement industry and improving techniques.

Kudos to hair transplant surgeons recommended by this community for rising to the challenge by going public with their results.

Absolutely no one in my family is bald except for one uncle who went bald at like the age of 40. I’m 19 and my hair is getting thinner. I’ve always had thinning hair but now its getting worse. I don’t think it’s genetic and the only thing i can think that’s causing my hair loss is that I’m a gym rat and possibly be the whey protein I take daily - could this possibly be affecting my DHT levels? If any of you guys can give me any kind of feedback it will be much appreciated.

This question was posed by a hair loss sufferer seeking hair loss help on our hair restoration forum and answered by Dr. Brandon Ross of LaJolla, CA who is one of our recommended hair restoration physicians. His professional answer is below.

Hair loss is really a crapshoot. Genetics plays a huge role, of course. But it is possible to have everyone in your family have no loss, while you have tons, and vice versa. There are multiple genes involved in male pattern baldness, so it is not easy to predict who will get the loss and who won’t. Some of the genes reside on the X chromosome, which explains why people try to look at “their mother’s side of the family” for clues.

If you are a guy, you have 1 X chromosome, which you got from your mom. But the problem is, you can’t just go and look at her dad and expect to have similar loss. There is only a 50% chance that you got that chromosome, because your mom had 2 different ones to potentially pass along. You would have to evaluate everyone from that side of the family including history of hair loss for any valuable information.

There are other factors which also can lead to hair loss, such as endocrine disorders (i.e. thyroid, etc). Certainly anabolic steroids make one very prone to balding rapidly. However, simply working out a lot will not significantly elevate your DHT levels or cause you to experience hair loss.

Bottom line is you probably still have male pattern baldness with DHT as your culprit. However, it would be a good idea to go to your primary care doctor at some point for a check up and basic labs (which would check your thyroid, anemia, etc.)

Is it normal to be shedding vast amounts of hair each day?  I’m talking about 200-300 plus daily (that i can see and guess, so its probably more). I’m also noticing that I’m not just shedding from the top anymore but on the sides.

This question was posed by a hair loss sufferer on our hair restoration forum and answered by Dr. Michael Beehner of Saratoga Springs, NY who is one of our recommended hair restoration physicians. His professional answer is below.

You didn’t mention your age. As Bill (Falceros) had mentioned on our hair loss forum, it is normal to lose 50-100 hairs a day simply from the random rotation of the hairs on your head through the hair growth and resting cycles. So on any given day, you will have that many hairs falling out and that many hairs starting up growing out from the follicle again. The number you mention, assuming you’ve proved this by counting them - that’s a hard thing to “eyeball” - and you are losing that many, then one of two things is going on. Either you are really in an accelerated phase of male pattern baldness, or you have experienced a “telogen” reaction from one of many causes. These phases are very common and usually occur around a few weeks to a couple of months AFTER the incident or exposure that actually caused it, which makes it a little harder to figure out.

Common causes of telogen reactions are some of the following: a surgery (such as a hair transplant) or general anesthetic; a severe psychiatric event such as a death of a close one or a sudden divorce breakup; a crash diet of very low caloric total; various medications; a viral illness or pneumonia; and there are quite a few others. If this were the cause, then after the 3-4 month period of time passes after most of the hair loss, there should be a rebound of hair growth gradually back to what it was. It won’t happen quickly, because these hairs won’t grow faster than a half-inch a month.

If you are in the midst of this experience, there is a valuable diagnostic test that a physician does, which you could actually do yourself. Simply take two fingers (thumb and index finger) and pinch a wad of your hair (perhaps 100 strands or so) and simply pull on them. If more than five hairs come out, that may indicate a telogen reaction had occurred. Don’t worry, you won’t lose those hairs. They have already separated from the underlying follicles, which is what occurs in telogen.
