So, I've been on Dutasteride for roughly 5 years I believe and I've been generally happy with the results, however lately my temples have begun to get really bad and no longer look 'full'. The hair has begun to get wispy looking and generally rather thin. Is it possible that it's the result of a...

So I discontinued minoxidil due to finances, lost a lot of hair and I am going to be hopping back on it. But I came back to the question does minoxidil cause dark eye circles? Personally I can't find any actual study showing proof that it does. I always had dark eye circles due to genetics and...

Pretty much the truth, I stopped coming on here when I was satisfied with my hair because the atmosphere was generally depressing. But after discontinuing minoxidil due to finances my hair at the temples is getting significantly worse that I find myself on here just as a reminder that I'm not...

Actually despite what you'd believe shorter hair is actually better for thinning hair, when your hair is long thin hair caused from male pattern baldness lacks volume, as well as thickness as the hair becomes more fragile and thin, so it becomes easier to spot the difference in areas of the hair. It's why its...

As stated above take some better shots with good lighting. I personally feel like you aren't thinning based on those photos. You're a young adult now and its quite common to lose the perfectly straight hairline that you have at a younger age, as your hairline naturally does creep back as you...

It's actually perfectly natural for one side to recede more than the other. It's unfortunate as it can make the hairline look worse, but it happens. Your options for combating hair loss are limited, but the main choices are finasteride, and minoxidil. The first is finasteraide, which is a...

In your original set of photos it could be a sign of diffuse thinning, but when its shorter as shown in your new photos it's no longer as bad. I apologize if this comes off as rude, but are you on any performance enhancing drugs? Not implying you are on any, but they are known to cause hair loss...

Okay, so you have no product in and you still have great hair then. I mean you have a natural undercut going on with still great density. I'm not seeing any difference in density on your sides/back of your head the only thing that I can see that you would be concerned about is your forelock but...

Shedding hair is normal, not just that you don't even seem to have signs of being a diffuse thinner. You're being paranoid, your hair looks fine, and losing that many hairs isn't an issue. Every single person loses hair, we all shed, its the fact that the hair normally grows back that makes a...

Think of it this way, how many people are suffering from male pattern baldness, or baldness in general.Now imagine how small of percentage this forum is. Not just that more people are more likely to complain about something they have, as opposed to someone who is lucky enough to have no side effects. I'm not...

Yah, you've receded a tiny bit I'd say about a Norwood 1.5 going to the 2 range. Look into Kirkland Minoxidil liquid or foam. Foam is easier to apply and dries a lot faster so I recommend that. It's easy to get online or if you can just go to Costco they should carry it. Can't say if your hair will...

Pomade is generally pretty bad as well. At least from my experience, and any water based product normally makes thin hair look worse. To get something that helps achieve a thicker look you want to use a clay, texture cream, or even a non water based wax. I personally like the Hanz De Fuko...

No its the males on your mothers side like her brother, father, uncle etc. Same thing you do when looking at your fathers side; its good to hear that your mothers side doesn't have any signs of hair loss. But it should be noted that viewing the Norwood status of family/relatives is more to see where...

The thing is if your hair is thinned out in a area or receded, trying to cover it up half the time honestly looks bad. It'll lack the same volume as areas with normal hair density, it may even look like a bad attempt on covering it some days. Not saying it'll be the case but it can happen...

I can't comment on the onion juice. But it sounds like a load of crap. Because sadly if it that was all that was required to combat male pattern baldness a lot of us probably wouldn't be on this forum. The main thing is you say your Dad didn't start to lose hair till 29, that's a decent age to start. But you...
