Question by Thomas: I’m 21 and experiencing some major hair loss right now. HELP?

i’m 21 years old, and i’m experiencing hair loss right now for about 2 months. I never had this problem before, and i doubt its cause is genetic since both of my parents have healthy hair still. when i run my fingers thru my hair in a shower, i see about 5-7 strands come off at a time and can definitly tell that it’s not normal. I do have a itchy scalp, not to the extent where it keeps me from doing work, but cant help but scratch my head throughout the day.

i’m not 100% positive but my suspision is this hair wax that i started using about 2 months ago, called “Spiker”. it’s a glue-type product and super strong. i used the product for about 3 weeks, and stopped using it because i believed the wax was causing my hair loss. but my hair has continued to fall off since then.

can somebody please help me out with some possible causes and solutions? i currently dont have any health insurance, and it would be helpful to know what’s going on with my hair,

It probably is male pattern baldness. You get it from your mother’s side of the family so look for it in your mother’s brothers or your grandfather on that side. If your scalp just itches a little and there is no rash or broken skin then I doubt you have a scalp disease causing hair loss.

You could start using Rogaine (topical minoxidil) but a lot of gals think that bald men are sexy so don’t worry too much. It will happen slowly.
