I just have one last question to ask. Is there a distinct connection between baldness and the rate of hair growing?
Strange thing is, I haven't had a hair cut in a longgg time because my hair growing rate seems to have really slow downed a lot.
Also, my hair feels really dry all the time.
I really really can't accept the fact that I'm losing so much hair in the past months when I'm barely 21. There has to be more than just me having baldness gene.
Being bald at age 30+ is acceptable but at age 20 is not.

A family doctor won't be able to tell you much otherwise, but he/she could certainly forward you to a dermatologist just to make sure there's nothing wrong with you scalp.
Male-pattern baldness can strike basically anytime after adolescence, though most guys start experience the effects in their mid to late 20s.
It sounds like you haven't done any research to diagnose yourself. Take a chill pill and look up Finasteride on Wikipedia.

You can control your baldness and in some cases, re-grow your hair. However, taking pills, and using hair care products to control your hair loss is a lifelong commitment and one that requires some thought.
