    Im Freaking out!!! Help

    After hearing some remarks about my hair situation I started to worry big time about getting bald before the mid of my 20s.

    Ive posted once here but had the feeling that my pics hadnt a good quality so here I am, trying again!

    First of all ive always had very thin hair, and a REALLY huge forehead which isnt a good combination. + My haircut right now doesnt really work in my favor, but im letting it grow out.

    Anyways Im not quite sure if I ve always had those high temples but when I look at pictures from 2-3 years ago its basically the same...

    Anyways thats my third week into fin; if I might be balding its better to start early and to prevent the loss( or at least to slow it down to such an extend that it isnīt as drastic) isnt it ?

    Im gonna be soon 19, and im fully aware of the possible side effects but its about trial and error, and im willing to prevent my hairloss lol. Its pretty hard for me to be so young, and have already that Liam Neeson Hairline,even though im having it since im 15-16 years old, but Iīve started to become MUCH more aware of hair lines at 17-18.

    Im not willing to take any other meds other than fin, because as far as I know they arent really effective on a long time period...As long as I can more or less PRESERVE what I have, I will be very happy

    people can get "mature hairlines" that don't have to mean they're going to lose it all.

    If you don't see active recession and are not losing suspicious amounts of hair in the shower (like I do), then you're probably not balding...

    DONT LOOK AT HOW MUCH HAIR YOU ARE SEEING IN THE SHOWER LOOK AT WHATS ON YOUR HEAD. The more you have the more you will shed. the only thing thats relevant is how your hair looks on your head.

    it is not your lack of drink, but muscles or face thats the reason. The only reason they'd want you to drink is so you focus on that and dont hit on them I don't even go to partys, at least not till I get more muscle on my arms.

    you do have quite a high temple for someone your age. As for the top of your head, perhaps the flash on your camera makes more of your scalp visible then it really is

    yes I guess I am a norwood2

    no I never see hair in the shower, on the pillow etc...but I dont think that this is relevant at all.
    do you think “normal“ people will notice something? and how good are my chances if I am on fin ( only) to maintain what I have for lets say the next 5-6 years at least (assuming that Im balding). More genereally speaking: what should I do??

    Normal people won't notice. If you already had it 2-3 years ago, maybe you're not balding. Is there any history of MPB in your family?
