So Hi everyone, first of all let me just say sorry if u can't get my writing 😭.

I am from pakistan just turned 21 this june. I got very bad hair problems, I'll be attaching image for you guys to look and give me some manly advice without some social media shit like monoxdile, do this, this serum, this mask, this water and sooo on. So I got grey hairs already like 30 40 percentage of hairs are already grey so along with grey hairs i have got these issues: 1: Grey hairs (30 to 40%) 2: I got rough hairs 3: Started baldness if not wrong from front line. My front line hair are not growing well as you can see in the image. 4: I also got mostly dandruff issue but using shampoo like (selsun or selsum blue) or maybe Head and shoulder can mostly control it. 5: I have noticed that i guess my hair growth has been slowed down pretty well. 6: Mostly hair falls when ever i set hairs with my hands, if shampoo, and comb i got hairs falls like hell sometimes

So i need some real advice from people maybe doctors, one with same issues cured or uncured but not other shits.

How to deal with all this. I got pretty hectic routine going to start like night shift and studies so can't focus on routines. I do gym, i got good diet like very very low fast food consumption.

Exactly what should I use or do to make all these things under control maybe with a shampoo or product ? I do oiling as well like there is a oil named Tara meera oil that is like a pepper on a cut 💀 but u know what i want is to get a good hair not a very very good model like hair. Just good hailrs that i can grow, make them long aand style. That's it.

What will you guys suggest. Anyone with suggestions of any kind are welcome to deliver but try to avoid some fake social media and long care products and routine for hair as I can't really afford, as well as can't really focus and do. Most i can do is to oil hairs once a week, do shampoo or maybe conditioner if it is good for hair and use some easy suppliments like Evion that i take already. Tried 60 biotin tablets once from a company called nutrifactor but I don't think i get any results. So yeah this is it. Really appreciate if u guys can share your experience, your suggestions and things works for you. Thank again ❤️ 1000039095 1000039090 1000039089 1000039088

Diet, nutrition, stress can all impact both hairloss and hair color.

Your very young, which means something is probably out of balance in your nutrition. Put your food into a tool like cronometer and look for deficiencies.

People have reported hair color return, and some minor hair growth improvement on the carnivore diet. The mechanism isn't well known. Probably a combination of reduction in metabolic syndrome, improved insulin sensitivity as well as complete bioavailable nutrition. https://whycarnivore.com/#Hair

There is a interesting body of research that hair loss is a function of "tight" scalps, which reduce blood flow over time. Doing aggressive scalp loosening massages everyday seems to work for some people.

Just embrace it...literally nobody cares but you. Honestly...and that's not me being mean. People...don't...care. They have their own problems and don't give a damn about your hair. Once people start hitting 20-25, all that kid drama garbage just goes away and you'll realize that nobody gives a damn.

I knew I’d have male pattern baldness and early grey hair when I was a kid because I looked just like my grandfather.

So when I was in my 20s, I went from luscious wavy hair to a set of clippers.

Short hair is awesome. Wish I’d done it earlier. I don’t have to do anything with it other than keep it short, and as the balding progressed, it just made me look more manly.

And I provided real help...not weird chemicals that won't work. Learn to life with who you are, or go get surgery to have actual hair implants. No doctor will give you medical advise on Lemmy, and no random shelf medicinal stuff will work and you'll end up being worse off by just wasting money.

Learn to live with who you are

Get hair implant surgery.

Your options.

You really should take a firmer interest in his hair. I plan to study it this afternoon and maybe come up with a game plan. If you don’t care about his hair then you don’t care about anything

Finasteride and minoxidil actually can stop hairloss and somewhat help with re-growth. You'll grow boobs from finasteride tho. Might be a good idea to just cut it short.

Can you share details, when and how to use?

I'm not sure if that's going to help you, but I don't think there is a very effective solution for balding. Obviously you can use paint or filler spray or a wig. My friends who turned bold early on in their 20s either wore a baseball cap or some form of hat. Or they shaved off their hair, and it turned out no hair or just a few millimeters suited them well. But that depends. I believe later on in life you might be able to make peace with it and own it. But probably not in the early twenties. I don't have much experience with medication or other products. Be a bit careful with what they claim and if they actually do anything.

I'm not a doctor, that's just what I've seen with the people around me. And I'm not sure what wearing a hat all the time does to the scalp.

Edit: But maybe you want to visit a doctor and get their advice. If you have other issues as well, these symptoms might be connected.
