Hi everyone,

I'm 21M and I'm honestly starting to get worried about my hair.

I first noticed a few grey hairs when I was around 18. Back then I didn't think much of it because it was only a handful. Over the last 2 to 3 years, though, it's increased a lot and now it's very noticeable, especially on the top of my head (photo attached).

For some context:

My parents both had a few grey hairs around a similar age, but nowhere near this many.

My hair is otherwise thick and I don't think I'm experiencing hair loss.

I'm a vegetarian but I don't mind eating non veg.

I haven't had any blood tests done specifically for this yet.

At this point I'm wondering:

Is this likely to be genetic, or could it be caused by something like a vitamin deficiency?

What blood tests should I get done? (B12, ferritin, vitamin D, thyroid, copper, etc.?)

Has anyone here actually managed to slow down or reverse premature greying after fixing a deficiency?

Are there any treatments that are genuinely backed by evidence, or is dyeing my hair basically the only realistic option?

I know grey hair isn't the end of the world, but at 21 it's been bothering me quite a bit, and I'd really appreciate any advice from people who've dealt with something similar.

Thanks in advance!

I consulted a dermatologist for my hair thinning issue , she prescribed me finastride 1 percent, minoxidil 2.5 mg (half 1.25 I insisted for minoxidil oral) and minoxidil 5% and finastride 0.1% what can I expect in initial stage of the treatment?

Any products suggestions and haircare routine? Please would be really helpful don't wanna loose more of the hair, this is the length right now, density low hori hai 🥺🙏🏻

Don't mind the picture I js woke up.

Been really stressed about this since i can visibly see so many hair on my pillow after i wake up

Also been using mino topical 5% like up and down without any consistency like 1 week use and then leaving which i know is bad what has happened has happened 😭😭

I need honest reviews on which one of these helped u the best . So, in my last post i asked which shampoo should i buy and after checking a few reviews everywhere these are the options i ended up with. My major concern is obviously hairfall, for example the loreal xtenso and dove shampoo almost made me bald and also my scalp was flaking like crazy. Ayurvedic shampoos are good but many a times the real product never arrives, ayurvedic shampoos almost everytime are not authentic when ordered online, and atp my trust in shampoos is long gone.
So my issues are

1. I don’t want my hair falling out
2. it shouldn’t cause dandruff
3. (optional kinda) tame my frizz (ik it’s impossible in this humidity)
   (And i know there will always be some hair shedding )

My father at the age of 62 wants to revive his hair. He’s been ordering stuff from sus websites and Instagram ads even tho I have told him to be careful and buy from legit companies. He has been scammed several times where one of them sold him glue in the name of rosemary oil.

Now he has ordered a shi ton of products from Thrive Co. I have never heard of this company, Idk if it’s even safe or not. If anyone has any idea pls lemme know. Any other reviews would help.

All the other minoxidil are expensive and this one is cheap. I mean is it good? Or is it worth buying?

I’m 18F Hair query for female pattern hair loss in crown/ scalp.

Hairfall increases rapidly after it grows upto a length like this and it gets worse during Monsoon and sheds like hell. Should I get a hair patch now?

Here are the photos i attached of my condition.

My hairs turn thinning a couple of months ago and my right side of temple is recessed more then left side of temple and I've been facing hairfall past 1 month. Like it's severe i think while oiling i got 20 30 hairs and shampooing 20 or 30 same then when i run my fingers through my hair i got 4 5 hairs sometimes....and yes i gone through a very stressful event this last 4 months but I'm better now. Is it my time for finestride+minoxidil or its too late idk help me out.

Genuine guidence needed please don't scare me...

Edit:-I'm 19m btw

so hapyyyyy, min is from zee lab and i got pack of 2 i am already seeing some progress although it's only visible if i take photos from camera with flash nonetheless it's progress

Hi, I'm a 30 years old guy. For last 2 years, I'd been under a lot of stress. I'm fine now. And recently noticed my hair to be like this.

What do you suggest to improve my hair? I'll definitely check some dermatologist but not in the next few days. Until then, I want to hear your opinions.

Suggest me something to fix it and what should I use ,

Hey!
Any tips for improving my hair? It’s thick & wavy. I also have a very oily scalp and I’ve habit of picking at my scalp. I stopped oily my hair years ago because of how greasy it gets 😭😭
I only use L’Oréal Hyaluron pure shampoo.
Any advice or product recommendations, or any routine suggestions would be appreciated!

Using minoxidil 5% by tata 1MG for past 6 months

Visited a derma yesterday gave me these
No minoxidal tho cause of my age and have lil bit off too much dandruff

Third picture is my proscription

my hair is fine, frizzy, wavy and a very weird shape rn idk what's wrong with my hair but it's not like WHAT I WANT IT TO BE its like so bad from the sides, it feels like i don't have anything on sides it's thin asf.

i need to get a good haircut but if anything you would like to reccomend like any hair growth tips or anything then it's appreciated :]

So I have been using minoxydil and finasteride since november 2024. For first two months I used Mintop growth but since it is really expensive a friend recommended me to switch to zeelab. And I’ve been using it since January of this year. Its been more than six months now with zeelab and I did get some results not the best tho. So I just want to know if anyone knows a better alternative that gives faster and better results than zeelab. Also please tell your problems with zeelab products cause I really have seen my hair grow very dry when I use the minoxydil maybe its cause of minoxydil as a chemical or zeelab idk so any suggestions are happily welcomed. Thanks :)

PS: All photos are of recent times. My hair was little worse before but I have no photos of then, the front part has regrown but the middle of the head is still not regrown.
