19 Years Old, Hair Loss Question

[maxwells5000]

Hi, I'm 19 years old and recently I've been experiencing some hair loss. An important note to start off is that I'm participating in a bodybuilding show and I have been dieting since the start of March. Although I have been restricting overall calories, my fats are still high, and I consume zinc everyday. In terms of my hair situation, the case started a few months ago back at the start of March, when I noticed that the hair on my right temple started to thin. I was pretty concerned about this because I had no idea what was happening, it seemed like it came out of nowhere. The hair on my right temple has not thinned anymore since, although hasn't shown any signs of recovering its old thickness either. Then recently over the course of the last month, the hair on my crown began to thin, specifically towards the front of the top of my head. I've always had a double hair whirl and a prominent cowlick on the back of my head, but this seems a lot different. For the first time, I've began to shed hair in the shower. Not handfuls, but probably around 5-10 hairs per shower with hairs varying in shapes and sizes. This is what bothers me. Some hairs are very short, even shorter than a centimeter. Kind of like the hair that washes out after you get a clean buzzcut. Other hairs are long and thick, and others are long, thin and scraggly. I'd say that 95% of them have white bulbs at the ends of them. I usually wear my hair in a messy combover style and I've noticed that the hair near the top of my head has been harder to part to the side. It feels like they're all tangled together and many times, thin long curly hairs would come out, while I usually have thick, straight asian hair. I've been using Gatsby Air Rise as my choice of styling wax and I wasn't sure if that was causing the hair loss, but now I cut it out just to make sure. Interestingly enough through all of this, my left temple has not receded at all, and that's the area where my hair naturally parts. I just think it's a little bizarre of a pattern to be Male Pattern Baldness, although I'm really not sure. It's been a week since I cut out the Gatsby Air Rise wax and the hair loss still hasn't improved, and I'm really starting to stress out. My father is bald, although he lost is hair in his 40s. My mother's father still has the majority of his hair. Regardless, I know that when it comes to genetics, it's a very blurry line before the maternal and paternal sides of the family. I take after my father for many of his characteristics so naturally I assumed that I would eventually go bald, but I never thought that the genetics would hit me this early. Does anyone know what's happening to me? Any advice or insight would be very helpful.
