I mean, shit, when something is going on with the human body, I know the first place I always turn to is somebody who makes slightly more than minimum wage and didn't require anything more than fifth grade to get in to their trade school. If you should ever develop an odd mark on your skin, will you be heading to the retail clothing salesmen at Sears for an answer too?
Now back to reality. See a Doctor, they'll tell your real options as opposed to fucking snake oil solutions.

Warchild speaks the truth. From what I've seen here that's being called "advice" I would stay away from stylists. Far away!
Hair loss is caused by a buildup of DHT (which is related to testosterone) in your body, specifically in your scalp. Control or block DHT and you will keep your hair.
Nizoral shampoo (2%) is the best way to do this immediately. It eradicates DHT on the scalp. There's a special type called the 'Regrowth Treatment Shampoo', that's available that contains 3% salicylic acid. It strips the dead skin cells on the scalp to make for better Nizoral absorbtion.
Nizoral is a mainstay. Use it in combination with one of the products below:
Minoxidil (Rogaine) - helps regrow hair. No one knows exactly how but it does. There's a couple of Minoxidil/Retin A/Azelaic acid combonations out there that work even better than Minoxidil alone. Azelaic acid inhibits DHT 100% on the scalp so it's a good combo with Minoxidil. You can skip the retin a if you use the regrowth treatment shampoo with Salycic acid.
Propecia is good in a way. It reduces DHT receptors from a blood plasma level in your body so your body has less chance of absorbing DHT. It's cool, but also affects your strength, libido and other male characteristics. The price is high, but saving your hair might be worth paying that price if you are too far gone up top.
There's only 1 other thing proven to be stronger than the treatments I just mentioned. Avodart. You can read up on this but I'd suggest testing the ones described above before you take that step.
You can pick up some of the products below.
