Will my hair grow back?

When i was young I used to have really thick hair. At the age of 14 I started to masturbate once a week, and when I was 15/16 I would masturbate at least 2-3 times per week. Over the years i've noticed my hairline receding, and now I have a couple of bald spots in the back of my head, and my hair is thinning. (Im 17.5 now). After doing a lot of research, I found that testosterone is converted into DHT which kills hair follicles.I go to the gym 3 to 4 times per week, take vitamins, and eat healthy (No fast food) .Will my hair grow back/ or my current hair get thicker or will I be able to produce more hair follicles? PLEASE HELP ME I AM REALLY UPSET ABOUT THIS SITUATION!!!!!

I don't know if you will grow back your hair but masturbation has nothing to do with your hair. I'm 33 now and use to masturbate all the time from 15 to 33 (I recently stop masturbation FINALLY) and I still have all my hair.

Your issue may be related to genetics. Does your dad have bald spots? Or since you read some stuff on testerone being converted to DHT, maybe your testerone levels are low. Maybe get those check out with your doctor.

Look to your mother's side of the family (i.e., her brothers) and at her mother's brothers to see what genetic package you have inherited related to baldness.  It does NOT come from masturbating, or most men in the world would be bald.
