    am i receding?

    I'm not sure I really understand what their concern is. Is it taking hormones, or being binary? It's your life. Do whatever makes you happy.

    am i receding?

    It's rare for someone to lose a lot of hair from androgen alopecia at a young age, although it does occur, it's probably less than ten percent of men. The only thing that really stops it is anti DHT medications such as Finasteride. I would really have reservations about taking anything...

    Your parents are assholes. I would never tell my kids what to do with their appearance. Tell them it's your appearance, and it's none of their business. I'm not as nice, I because if they were my parents, I would tell them to go f*ck themselves. Some people shouldn't have kids. You should...

    Been on dutasteride for 14 years - new to oral minoxidil - what dose?

    Why are you even taking Monixidil tables if you're taking Dustasteride? Doesn't make sense at all. You should fire your doctor, because he/she is giving you bad advice. Probably just trying to make money off you.

    What is the right amount to tip a hairstylist?

    I give 20%. I usually don't even cut my hair until after months, and it's obvious that I haven't. (Hair over ears, poofy hair on top, just a mess). That said, if they gave you shitty quick service, make it less (10%, or less). It should reflect the value that you requested/think it is. Same if...

    Just visit a doctor. None of us are qualified to answer your questions. Visiting a good doctor will put your mind at ease. My son did it, and found out he was balding (I thought he was, my wife's side is even worse than mine). That said, it's really binary. You've already gone through...

    57yo , 3 month progress.

    I have between a Norwood 2/3 density and I am the same age as @Brownbeaver. It is possible to regain a lot of hair, but it is an individual's choice.

    I am absolutely shocked! 6 Months of Oral Minoxidil + 3 Months of Finasteride

    @Reid_ You really do have good results. I am happy for you. Too many men going bald shave their head and just forget about it.

    I Feel Really Sad About The Current World And Life. Need To Talk

    My daughter went to Italy and really loved it there. She stayed there for four months, and she intends to become a citizen there if she can. Do they have a high demand for occupational therapists? She is getting her Master's degree in the United States.

    Too much topical Finasteride

    I don't know if it's having a negative effect on me or not.

    am i receding?

    Very few people have a symmetrical hairline. In fact most people don't even have a symmetrical face.

    Been on dutasteride for 14 years - new to oral minoxidil - what dose?

    Dutasteride has a long half life of three to four weeks. I would not take that systemically at all. In fact, I wouldn't take that topically either.

    I have a friend that has a mature hairline, and doesn't have baldness in his family. He is in his 60s, still has a full head of hair. Honestly, not having a mature hairline does look strange on some people.

    It's been a while since I casually wrote something

    @callpizza I hope you are feeling better these days, and getting more sleep. It definitely can have a bad effect.
