Im 23 and i am also receeding.
Washing your hair won't accelerate the balding process unless you are really very vicious when you wash or dry your hair. Hair that comes out in that process is already in the very last stage of it's life (catagen phase). If you have "functioning" hair it will be replaced with something of similar thickness and strength, if you have thinning hair it will be replaced by a weaker hair, or possibly not what you'd call "hair" at all (more of a fuzz).i started to get peaks 10 years ago, but nothing more, my hair has receded but no more in the last 10 years, i have stopped washing it and blame that.
the last 4 years i have washed and towel dried my hair no more than 20 times, i just rinse with warm water twice a week and drip dry.
advise for anyone thinning - wash with warm water and don't rough it up with a towel, best way to pull hair out!
Why are you smug? It's not an affliction to lose one's hair - it's just a sign of alpha male characteristics Too much testosterone
I call them thigh marks anyway.
