I'm 24 and I'm really worried about my hair loss. In just a couple of years, my hairline has gone back a lot, and I can easily see my scalp now, especially at the back of my head. Ive been trying out stuff like Castor oil, but it doesnt seem to be helping much. Should I consider getting a hair transplant at this age, or is it better to wait? Also, should I keep my hair short in the meantime? Would love your advice on this!

I'm noticing that my beard is getting white, but my hair isn't. It used to be just 56 follicles, but now it feels like about 30% of my beard has turned white in just six months. Is there something specific that causes this kind of change in beard color compared to hair? Should I be worried, and are there any ways to slow down or reverse this process?
