I am 23 and have experienced significant hairloss in the past 5 months. I did not start taking Propecia and now I am currently studying in China and the medication is unavailable here. To stop the anxiety of noticing my rapid hairloss I was considering shaving my head. Will this at all increase the rate of hairloss until I can begin treatment on Propecia, Minoxidil, etc?
Shaving your head will have no impact on your hair loss, one way or the other.

Hello-
I am 26, and I am curious if it is possible to get implants for a shaved head. I like to keep my head shaved very tight ( just above bald ) and am starting to notice my hairline receding at the temples. I was curious if it is possible to get implants to reform my natural hairline, but still keep my head shaved. Thank you for your help -
