Am terrified of going bald!

I'm in my early 20s now and I'm terrified of losing my hair. I have no symptoms yet, but I'm really paranoid about it, and can't help myself. Makes me really miserable and scared about getting older. I'm terrified I'll go bald before settling down and then will find it hard to get dates. The media just presents baldness in such a bad light, it seems ok to make fun, look at them different, which I don't feel is fair.

Anyone in the same position or/and can offer advice about it?

As somebody that started going bald years ago i can thankfully say that most women don't care. Have a nice body, look stylish, have an okay face.. you pass those criteria and your fine.

Hahahaha I had no idea there was a Norwood scale for baldness. That's awesome. I'm a Norwood 2 and have been since I was ~17 but I think I might be like 2.5 at this point. I don't have any advice except maybe you should join a boyband since they never seem to lose any hair at all.

get a shampoo and conditioner that contain Ketokonazole- regenpure is supposed to be the best as it is sulphate free. ketokonazole lowers the level of DHT in the scalp, DHT is supposedly what prevents folicles from producing hair.

I could be naive, but I don't think something that is applied externally can effect hormonal levels. Finasteride works as it's applied internally.

Sorry, bad writing style, It cleanses DHT from the hair follicle- (i guess you can count this as lowering the level in the folicle?) I'm not a hair loss expert but from what iv'e read there have been some promising lab tests and people are reporting positive results- check it out for yourself if your interested, sorry for my poor explanation. :smile:

Ah, that sounds more plausible.
