  • FPB OR AGA uneven hair loss?

    Hi I have AGA and am thinning on both temples, but have only strands left on one side of my head? I don't brush, so I don't think I pull on one side more than the other and my part is close to the centre. Anyone else have this?

Is there one I dont have to take off everynight? I…
