Falling Hair is Lighter
Q:
I am 24 with a strong family history of hair loss in the male members at and around early 20s. Recently, I started seeing hair in my sink and on the bed that is much lighter my regular hair. Is it normal? Am I balding and can I use a hair transplant to prevent further hair loss.
A:
Male patterned hair loss is characterized with miniaturization of hair shafts before complete losing them. In genetically prone men to male pattern baldness, hairs of an affected area gradually become thinner and thinner, before they ultimately become nonexistent.
Miniaturization hair shafts make them look thinner, because of the smaller size and then the smaller amount of darker pigments that could be seen.
It seems that you started with hair loss phenomenon and you only need to get it diagnosed by a good hair specialist who can also get you started on medication treatment if need be. A miniaturization study can give you some ideas of where you are heading before starting with the medications.
