Why aren't my baby hairs growing? (photos)

So after I shaved my hairline I got sideswept bangs to cover up the little stubble growing back. I've had bangs ever since. I don't remember having problems with small hairs like the ones I have now before but they bother me a lot because they do not grow to the length as the rest of my bangs/hairs. i have provided pictures of my original hairline before I shaved it, when I shaved it, and how my hairline looks now. I hope there is some way to fix my horrible hairline .

When used twice daily, this product has shown it can reduce shedding from male pattern baldness.We have found that it is most effective when you layer it with other modalities such as LLLHT.The gene that causes the problem to begin with is very strong and sometimes just doing 1 thing is not enough.

Body hair loss is not a normal side effect of Propecia but we have heard patients state similar experiences.  If you are concerned follow up with your doctor.

I suggest a formal evaluation by a skin doctor and possibly an endocrinologist.  This will determine if there are external or internal causes for your concerns. Best, Dr. Emer.

Acetone will not help with thinning hair. It would likely irritate your scalp and skin.  It would likely cause hair loss more than hair growth.

You need to see a doctor for your issues. Women should not be taking Propecia.  Weight loss can help with PCOS symptoms.

If you are balding due to head lice, the best way to treat it is to treat the cause. See a doctor.  You cannot grow back the hair quickly.
