Where are you losing your hair? Any bald spots? How many hairs are you losing per day? Is it receding? It is normal to lose up to 100 hairs per day. Sometime, you may go through a shedding phase where you lose a significant amounts of hair and then stop. There are many causes to hair loss like Male Pattern Baldness (adrogenous alopecia), alopecia areata, hypothyroidism, eczema, telogen effluvium and stress. Send me your photos or come by for a free consult so that I can better evaluate your scalp.

Sometimes, assuming you are male, the genetic balding process can start early, even younger boys than you can develop it. You will need your scalp mapped out for miniaturization and a diagnosis for genetic hair loss must be made by an expert. The use of Propecia is not an unreasonable approach, as long as your parents are involved with making the decision.
