I'm 22 and I've been losing hair really suddenly. There's no genetic issue that I know of since my dad only started losing his hair after he turned 45. I've noticed it's mostly around the center line of my head with a big space in the middle. What could be causing this, and what should I do?

I'm 29 and dealing with baldness, and I'm considering hair transplantation. I don't know much about the process, though. Could you tell me about any side effects or other important details I should be aware of?

Hair transplant may not be the immediate or only solution for you. Consider medical treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, or PRP first, as they can slow or even reverse hair loss. You are too young for a transplant, but its usually best to wait until your hair loss pattern is more stable.
