Could be stress like everyone said, or undereating. I know than when I get stressed I under eat, and when I don't eat I lose hair by the handful. I feel for you though. When I woke up to find my pillow covered in hair I freaked out pretty good.

like someone else said - just shave your head ... christ everyone is doing it these days.

your friends and family will be freaked out by it for about 2 days - after which it will become the norm.

I lost a ton of hair to stress and the fact that I bleached it for dying purposes and have very fine hair to begin with, but it started to grow back when I started exercising and um...girlfriending...more and upped my testosterone level. You might just need to destress and start taking runs and working out more often.

That sucks, though I wouldn't suggest doing something as drastic as shaving your head because then you have to shave it every day and that's way more time consuming than putting rogaine on it.

Also, you might really want to check the diet thing since nobody else in your family has this. I would take a multivitamin, especially if you eating college food. yuck.

I would also check into an herbal supplement called Saw Palmetto Extract, one of my coworkers swears this is the best thing to take for men and stopped his hair loss. You can buy it in the grocery store or target with the rest of the vitamins.

At any rate, it's not the end of the world. I found my first gray hair when I was 20 and I about lost it at the time, but I've come to terms with it now (premature graying is genetic for me, so I was screwed) and just dye it. Just date girls shorter than you and they won't notice. :p

Bald is sexy!!:DNo worries!!

yayyyy ! i'm 1/2 sexy !

Bald is sexy, balding makes you look old.



:D

hey - for me the glass is half full :)

Thanks girls! Good advice, Pap, I'm gonna look into that extract for the hell of it.

I second that!

The hottest guy that I've been with to date had a thinning hair line (and he was 20/21).

Not to mention - My current boyfriend... I met him when he was Bic'ing his head on a regular basis (TOTALLY bald) and I've always thought that he was gorgeous. Since then, he's been growing out his hair, and he looks amazing (receding hairline and bald spot and all!).

Seriously - You can pull it off AND be sexy. You just have to OWN it. :D
