Answer: 25-year-old African American male with hair loss There are good reasons for any 25-year-old with diffuse thinning and early hairline recession to postpone the decision to have a hair transplant, especially when there has not yet been a trial of medication. Your first step would be a thorough in-person evaluation by a hair loss expert to assure a correct diagnosis. Treatment options could include medication (Propecia/finasteride; Rogaine/minoxidil), "PRP" (platelet rich plasma) injections, topical cover-ups, shaving your head, scalp micropigmentation (SMP) or a combination of these. A hair transplant might also be a consideration, now or down the road, but it is important that you speak with one or more surgeons with extensive experience in performing African American transplants who can properly inform you and advise you regarding the pros and cons.

Answer: For a Black Man, the simple approaches include See a doctor. Get an exam. Get a diagnosis. Treatment options include drugs like Propecia, to slow down or stop the hair loss, or just shave it off and get scalp micropigmentation which is now becoming an increasingly popular approach for many men that don't want to go through an expensive hair transplants (see web reference below). Combinations of these also work like the use of the drug propecia plus scalp microipigmentation if the hair loss does not reverse in a year. With this approach, you can keep your hair as long as you want.
