Hair loss generally does not occur before the age of 21. But If the young man's
father, mother,
uncles or older brothers have pattern hair loss he may not be surprised to see
that the family
“baldness trait” has been passed along to him.

The mainly symptoms of young people hair loss is expressed to the area on the scalp that is likely to thin first is the temporal area of the frontal hairline. This may appear as having a high forehead, at first, but be very wary when the hairline starts to recede. The young man may also begin to notice excess shedding when he combs, brushes, showers or shampoos his hair.
Since male pattern baldness at a very early age is so vexing, In only very rare cases would a hair restoration doctor suggest aggressive treatment with hair transplantation for most men under 21 age. In selected cases a hair restoration specialist may perform a small forelock hair transplant to provide immediate improvement in the patient's temporal frontal hairline. The doctor will adopt the following manner to hair transplant surgery:
Setting the hairline
Young people tend to want a hairline that is fairly
low. However, a good hair transplant doctor will advice his
young patient that a higher hairline is better than a low
hairline. For one, a higher hair line means that he'll use fewer
donor hair since there's a lot less top hair to cover. For
another, there will be more fullness on the top of the head.

We still attention to young people that hair transplantation may not be a good hair restoration option because of the following reason:
1. The hair loss pattern and progression is yet to be established at this stage.
2. Hair transplantation performed this early may be less than desirable later in life when the pattern and progression of hair loss has
been more fully revealed.
3. It will be extremely difficult for a physician to design an operation that would suit throughout the patient's entire life.
4. There is a higher probability that surgical corrections would have to be made in the future because of the early performance of surgery.
5. Even with parental guidance, it is difficult for a minor to make informed adult decisions regarding elective surgery.
The medications may eventually be the best approach to treatment of the young men hair loss. Minoxidil and Finasteride can slow hair loss and give the appearance of more hair by adding density to miniaturized hair follicles. Slowing the progression of hair loss before and after age 21 improves the opportunity for successful hair transplantation later.
