first off it can be genetic you can go bald if baldness runs on your mothers side of the family your uncles grandfather greatgrand father ......you dont know what it is caused by until you go see a doctor....you are never to young to have your hair fall out my friend started to loose his hair at 13 secondly if you cant go to the doctor go to the salon and ask them where you can find nioxin it prevents the hair from falling out more it doesnt regrow like rogaine....go to the doctor it is the only way you will know what is truely wrong with you

you can't prevent it-it's genetic.\nhowever, if you just had a baby, been under a lot of stress or on a calorie resticted diet, then you could lose hair but it's reversible.

Without chemicals, the answer is NO.  Unless, of course, you would consider a scalp transplant from a straight haired donor, preferably a cadaver.\n\nYou can blame it all on your parents since the reason you have curls is genetics.

You need to describe your baldness...is it a receding hairline? Or is it coming out in patches elsewhere?\n\nIf this is normal male-pattern baldness, you can take propecia, but beware that you are going to be sacrificng a lot of testosterone. This means sexual side-effects.

this is the major problem of the 21st century as i can say. regarding you r hairloss, first of all check out these things\n1) if there is tremondous hair fall and some parts of the skin on the head has turn so smoothe, then you can never help hair folicles grow in that parts for the rest of life unless you take some artificial techniques. \n2) if your family heirs or anyone blood related to you in the family tree have the same problem then its heriditary that you got the same problem. lucky u r heiring something from your heirs.\n3)if its very less hair falling and that too its summer then you neednt worry. its time to loose hair\n4) if you loose hair while and only while you comb your hair then it means that the shampoo you are using(or you might not have taken a head bathe for days long) isnt good. so go for better ones that have lot of protiens and egg contents. and change the comb. use a better one with wide teeth.\n5) if you arent used to hair oil, then i suggest you to use a better hair old that is chemical free.(i suggest vatika hair oil available in india)\n6) if you have the habit of travelling long and there is continuous change in the water you use then make preferable changes as required.\n7) if you are using a helmet cover your hair with a cotton clothe and then wear the helmet.\n8) this hair fall also starts if its a drug reaction so better also consult a hair specialist authorised in your area. \n\ngood luck.\nand hey its a saying tha bald people are very luck people.. so be happy if u get balder. and let me tell you something and 1/4th bald at the age of 21 itself. now am 22.lol..take life easy buddy.\n\n-Poornachander

Well if you're quite young, it could be alopecia.  Google it if you need to learn more.  There are creams that can help you hair come back too, but they are prescription strength and your doctor has to prescribe them. A dermatologist would be the best kind of doctor to help you.

You should drink your milk and eat your veggies....you shouldn't really worry about it b/c you really aren't too short even though you are 17.\n\nOther people are shorter

Genetics have a lot to do with how each male can or can not grow facial hair. Look around the males in your family, ask them questions about it. \n\nSome boys start shaving what is called "peach fuzz" to get the facial fuzz to become coarse and more hair like. But I would talk to your parents first and get a male to show you how to shave first. Talk to your parents about this. I have found the only stupid questions are those unasked. You're 15, you are at the right age to know this stuff from your parents. Its time to ask.

Its been happening to me for 7 years and i still have a long way to go. It might have something to do with sun exposure. My beard is white , my mustache more white than black, and DMV lists my hair color as gray.

yes, hormones play a big role.\nAlso, hair pattern is heredetary.\nLook at your Mom's Dad & brothers. Your hair pattern follows the men on your mother's side of the family.

Probably a little short of male hormones, or generally your genes.\n\nTry 101 Hair tonic - invented in China, and has been in the market for over 30 years.  The inventors of this tonic are multi-millionaires because their hair products work.\n\nBut very expensive.  300mls can set u back by a close to US$100.  But prices are not fixed.  So can vary from shop to shop, place to place, etc.

Have the doctor check your hormone balance.  A lack of some hormones will cause the body to become more male and therefore cause baldness.  \n\nProper diet is very important.  Be sure you are eating a balanced meals (lots of fruits and veggies).  You may need to take vitamins to help keep you vitamins intake at the proper level.  Look for a diet specialist, your doctor should be able to recommend someone or check the yellow pages.\n\nEating like a bird in this case could be a problem, be sure you are getting all the vitamins you need.  \n\nIf your doctor is not helping, I recommend contacting another doctor.  Some doctors do not care as long as they are paid.  There are good doctors out there, but sometimes it takes a lot of trial and error to find them.

Your man's baldness is also linked to heredity. While the balding gene can be inherited from either parent, look at the men on his mother's side of the family to determine the future of his hairline.

To have a sudden trait pop up out of nowhere is called a mutation. Because your mother had a nose and your father had a nose, and these noses were in their genetic code, YOU have a nose. No surprise there, right?\nCertain regions of the world are going to have certain traits (dark skin, light hair, blue eyes, taller structure, etc) because that is simply what is passed down to them. If you had the lightest blond hair and had children in Japan with a Japanese woman, there is a CHANCE that your children would have light hair too. But your grandchildren will have darker hair... and great grands darker still. After a few generations your blond hair genes will have dissipated into the black hair genes that surround you.\n(This is why certain countries like the U.S. are called "melting pots": so many genes mixing together that you can have all kinds of results.)
