Default Hair Loss

Im losing hair at a pretty good clip nowadays, I dont know why. I have basically no one in my family that is remotely bald. It started about jan/dec of last year. How much does lifestyle affect hair loss? Im much more out of shape, stressed out (due to a bunch of things), diet hasnt been the greatest, nor has workouts, then ever. Im slowly getting back into a good routine all around, will my hair grow back, or whats the deal?

if you're losing a lot it's pretty likely that you have genetic male pattern baldness (even if nobody in your family is bald you can still have the gene for it) and it's not coming back on its own. in all likelihood you will lose more unless you decide to go the drug route.

wow that seems really fast. it could be stress/other factors. i know some drugs claim to help you regrow hair lost from MPB. i would see a doctor.

...maybe you should get some advice from actual bald guys...

I for some reason think it is not mpb, and probably stress/diet/non-workouts. Ill give it 6 months of working out and eating right, and see what happens from there. I just think that Im losing hair WAY too fast to be something genetic.

Pretty much every person who's balding thinks it's happening abnormally quickly. You've got more hair than you think you do, so 6-7 hairs isn't that much and is pretty normal for someone who's balding.

Many of the topical drugs, including rogaine, work no matter why you're losing hair.

Andre Agassi, Kurt Angle, and Michael Jordan are among many who pull off the bald look flawlessly.

Control your destiny and shave it off while you're relatively young...and eventually people will assume that you've always gone w/the buzzed look.

Diet and stress can play a big part, but once it's gone, it's usually gone.

If you are coping with your stress by using drugs or alcohol, that could be a huge part of it. Lots of guys I know who do a lot of booze or drugs have found their hair coming out really quickly and suddenly. I think their filtering organs just can't keep up with the poisons and your overall level of health just goes down internally, even if they can't see it on the outside too much.
