Not on HRT (yet). Am I cooked?
Hi!
​
I've had long hair since I was 12 (battling gender norms my entire life babyyyyy). I'm now 20 and have realised I'm trans. My hair is longer now (shoulder blade length as you can see in the first photo.
​
My hairline is bad, and has been for years. It recedes right up past my temple. The top of my hair is VERY thin too, which is my main point of concern. My sides and back grow fine, with nice thick hair, but my scalp and "fringe" (it barely qualifies as that) are very thin, short and almost balding it seems.
​
In the last year or so I've switched to satin pillow cases, hair regrowth shampoo and conditioner, blow-drying instead of towel drying and still my hair isn't looking any better on the top. Both my parents have naturally thin hair, but my brother's hair is thick and he has a great hairline.
​
Is there any way to fix this/regrow the hair on the top of my head to match the length and thickness of everywhere else? Ideally I want bangs when I finally transition (on a waiting list, I love the NHS). My hair is just so short up there and I can't seem to fix it. Any advice? Thanks <3
