Hello,
I am 18 years old and I am having severe hair thinning and receeding hairline. This has been for a while. I habe tried several home remedies and hair products like shampoos, hair serums etc. Yet I am not satisfied because daily I am loosing my hairs! On the other hand some of my hairs are white (while I am having this for about 15 years of age, also my hairs have become curly and frizzy. Having low hair density and low volume with white hairs that are unmanageable and on the front are bald goat spots! I really need some help! I am too concerned about it because I want to be confident for my higher studies and my future!
Waiting for a reply.

You are suffering from androgenic alopecia which is also called as pattern baldness. The hairs start reducing in density at the crown (top) and also the hairline starts receeding from the front. This is usually progressive throughout life unless treated. It is usually accompanied by severe dandruff which we call seborrhoea. The FDA approved treatment for this condition is the best. No oil or cream will magically work because the hairs are getting miniaturised and eventually disappearing due to the hormonal effects of DHT on the hair roots. Please call me or contact me with photos using online consult option for proper examination and treatment. Do not start treatment without consulting. I can give guidance and then you can continue treatment on your own.,,
