Can't believe I'm writing this, but here goes:
I'm 23, and I'll be graduating from college in roughly 6 months. My years there have been very stressful, as I realized soon after enrolling that I wasn't really prepared for such an academically rigorous institution in the first place (it's a pretty good school, and I really didn't deserve to get in). My hair started falling out maybe a month before enrollment, and it accelerated very quickly after that.
I guess I'm lucky that I still have hair (it covers a good portion of my head), but it's very thin, and doesn't grow much (up to a #2 cut, I'd say), so it's very very obvious that I'm losing my hair, and fast. I was looking for people's advice on how to look a bit younger, or at least pull off a more distinguished look with it. Some people I hadn't seen in a few years recently commented that I looked like their dad
My first question, I guess is: is it possible to lose fat from the face if you're not necessarily fat yourself? I kind of have a large face/head, and it really shows with the hair loss, as I never even noticed it before, back when i had a full head of hair. I'm 5'11, 160lbs, but not in the best shape I could be (skinny-fat, I think is the term). If I were to try and get into better shape (put on lean muscle mass, strengthen shoulders and cut down on body fat), is there a chance that my face would reflect the change as well? The only time I've ever thought I had cheekbones was about 5 years ago, but I was suffering from anorexia at the time, so I probably wouldn't want to go that far again
Any tips on looking and feeling younger would also be appreciated. I hope I don't sound like a douche, as I am only 23, but academic struggle has really taken it out of me, and I honestly look and feel like I've aged 15 years since I enrolled. Thanks.
