Believe it or not. I'm 18 and starting to get bald. I dont know why it's happening.

My parents are not bald.

Is it because of too much brushing?

Or using a wave kit?

Keep give me some info and what can I use to grow my hair back...

dang man, balding is hereditary. the father always gives the gene for baldness. its up to the mother to give one for baldness or hair(which is dominant). neither one of ur parents might not be bald, but u may have had a great great grandfather who did when he was 18. ask ur parents if they know of ne premature balding in your family.

u can try sum doo gro, or ne herbal growth product. cant guarantee if itll work.

give us sum more detail tho.

do you use kits? if so... how often?

is ur brush soft or hard and how long do you brush within a day?

you should cut it very low like Vin Diesel

First of all kits don't make your hair fall out unless you use them the wrong way or you are using them too much. You know how you see some sisters with patches in their, this comes from too much perming and not taking care of their natural hair. Be natural and take care of your natural hair. Some peoples hair is not made for kits anyway. If you have thin hair. I would stay away from kits all together. I haven't used a kit in almost 6 months now and I have coarse hair that's still spinning. My advice, don't use a kit if you going bald.

Baldness is hereditary, it does come from the men in your family. However, you can brush too hard and cause hair breakage. A hard brush will cause hair to break if you don't know what you are doing. But it will grow back if you are not ment to be bald. A hard brush is not for all hair texures either. I have coarse hair with no baldness genes in my family. All of my people have real thick coarse hair that don't fall out, you dig. Don't try to be like me cause you are not me. Do you and find out what works for YOU.

It can speed up the process of balding if you already got the genes for it. My man C-Love back in highschool had them 360's but right his hairline is waaaaaaaay back. He had thin straight hair and brushed too much. He did have balding in his family though.  I guess he speeded up the process. He's only 34 and look like these guys >>>>>> 

Remember when Samuel L Jackson had hair.

His balding is in his genes, not because of pomades or too much brushing.

i have it in my genes to get gray hair at a young age. but really look into the hair pills they work real good. my aunt uses one brand that i will look into for you.  also try going to GNC if you have one in you city, they can help you out to. good luck

Baldness can be hereditary but not all baldness is not hereditary some can be cause by friction or pulling the hair too tight, it's called traction alopecia.  Hair products will not make your hair grow back, especialy doo grow, everyone thinks it makes your hair grow...your hair grows from the inside out and not the outside in.   I would suggest you see a doctor such as a trichologists or a dermatalogists, it may be a reaction to a wave kit...which is basically the same products as drano (hair melting product for drains)

I'll give you some info on different reasons why you may be balding but you really need to go get some professional assistance

Thank you all for your replies.

Yall might remember me by the name of, adelajawaves. I was on this forum a year ago trying to seek answers on how to get waves.

I've used that wave kit a year ago. I thought it would give me some waves. It didn't. I always use hard brushes. I just have not been motivated to get waves now then I have in the past. Any advice?

Moving on to the bald part. I'm trying to see if I'm really bald or not. It could been a mistake that my barber made on my previous cut. So, I just got a fresh cut, all bald-- to see if I'm really going bald. It's been about a week now, and I see no bald spots so far, but I'll wait another week to see any change made.

It's good to be back here.
