Okay. So say I start rogaine and that brings some of that temple hair back, then get off it and start finasteride when the time is right; will the hair I gained with minoxidil fall back out anyway? Or will that I being on finasteride block the DHT that made those hairs fall out in the first...

Welp... is that it? I’m doomed? I heard minoxidil sheds hair, does this mean if I applied it to where I’m losing hair, my temples, it would shed my little baby hair things and grow new ones? Also I didn’t know that you had to be a certain age to be prescribed finasteride.. 18 I presume?

My fathers side only has some recession and minimal thinning on the crown, and he’s 67. My mother’s side, when he passed, was thin on top with some recession but not bald. He was 74.

Yes when I had the hairstyle I experienced a level of irritation; sometimes soreness, sometimes itchy-ness, maybe some tingling, no burning. And I say that because the irritation happened at my temples because that’s where it was the tightest, which is why I think it’s a possibility. I can’t...

Do you think this loss could be permanent traction alopecia? I used to have very long hair and kept it up tight for most of every day for probably 6-8 months. It’s been a little over a year since I stopped after I cut it shorter and it hasn’t came back. What would be the best option if that was...

Alright, I’ll keep an eye on it. If I notice this getting worse I will try to seek a professional. Thanks for your help!

Alright. So, to be clear, you think my hairline is receding rather than maturing? Okay. I’ve heard about a pretty bad shedding period with minoxidil, do you know about the bad side effects of the laser and dermapen? And if you’ve had experience with any of these, how’d it go?

Yeah hopefully the outcome isn’t bad. None of the men in my family are completely bald though, the worst is probably a Norwood 5 ish. If it were male pattern baldness wouldn’t I be able to noticeable see my scalp? The only way I can really see my scalp is under a very direct bright light, and...

Okay that’s pretty good. I definitely can agree that I probably gave myself traction alopecia with how tight I wore the manbun for the 6-8 rough months I had a man bun in for most of each day and night. I’ll keep an eye on it for now, hopefully it won’t get worse and I won’t have to seek...

Here are pictures side by side of the worse of the two sides, these pictures are around a year apart : (top one is more recently)

Also, I have worn a tight man-bun in the past. I haven’t worn one for over a year. I used to tie up my hair extremely tight when I went to sleep around then aswell. But again, I haven’t done either in over a year and don’t plan on doing either any time soon.

Okay.. should I expect thinning? So far I haven’t gotten any outside of the temple area where the small hairs have gone away. None that I can see on the crown or frontal area. Additionally, I do have naturally fine hair and the hair on top is the same texture and quality as the sides I believe...

Okay... then what are my options?

Forehead still isn’t high, nor have I ever had a large forehead. A little less than four fingers between my eyebrows and the hairline right now, like it’s always been. Always have had a bit of a U shape aswell though.

So I made an account because I’ve become anxious and nervous thinking that I’m losing my hair. I’ll attach some photos below:
