I'm 19(almost ;)) and my hairline looks pretty similar. It could simply be a maturing hairline, I know nobody wants to hear that, but it's true. You can also buy some generic Finasteride and maybe start taking 0.5mg a day with every 5th day off. It has the same effect on hair loss as higher...

Could be initial shed. It is pretty common to shed more hairs at the beginning of treatment because the hair that was in the end of the growth cycle falls out and a new, healthy hair will take its place in a couple of weeks. Keep taking your medication and start lifting weights. In 1 year your...

Looking good mate! You have made some nice size gains too, I am currently hitting the weights hard as well. I am 18 years of age right now and also considering taking finasteride but Im very anxious of the side effects at such a young age. Like you I've also had a receded hairline since birth. I would...

I'd shave my hair for now and use finasteride+minoxidil until you have more coverage. You will definitely get regrowth but right now it looks a bit silly

Omg, I'm sorry I couldn't help but laugh a bit at your posts. I will try to help you. Wallah habibi! First: "minoxidil" is not a camera brand, it is the short form for Minoxidil. It is a kind of foam which you apply to your scalp and it grows you thicker hair. When you go to a doctor, ask for...

Just took some more pics. I am seeing a lot of short hair around my hairline, so I am either regrowing a lot or have a lot of miniaturization. I can literally see all these empty follicles on my scalp. I hope you can see what I mean with thinning in these pictures I am playing with the...

Good luck on the big three, please keep this thread updated and post about side effects etc.., I will follow it. Your hair doesn't look that bad but I can see why it bothers you. If I were you I'd buzz cut the hair to make it easier to apply the minoxidil and then just hit the gym hard and improve...

First of all, thank you for your answers. I have read, also on this forum, that there is no such thing as a mature hairline and that it is male pattern baldness all the same. Regarding Finasteride, is it a good idea to use it at age 18? I would say I am a late bloomer and not fully developed yet

No offense but you have no idea how much hair I've been shedding. I have never experienced hair loss or shedding of any kind until last October. Every time I sit at my desk and run my hand through my hair there is lots of hair. When I shower, I lose at least 20 strands every time. Every time I...

If I jump on the big three, can I expect to regrow and regain my hair?

Hello and thank you for taking the time to read my post. Over the past few months my hair loss has absolutely consumed me. I've become obsessed with checking out my hairline at all times and analyzing my hair. I am currently 18 years old and my hair loss started in October 2013. I experienced...

Hi guys, these lest few months were pretty bad and I suffered diffuse thinning due to Telogen Effluvium(iron deficiency anemia, weight loss and psychological stress) and seborrheic dermatitis. I also experienced quite a recession in my hairline and thinning all over. I'd say I am NW1.5-NW2...

I was quite a late bloomer and I'd say I am still in puberty.

Hey zzzzz, thanks for your answer. As I stated in my initial post, I suspect that it could also be Telogen Effluvium or SD due to anemia, crash dieting or psychological stress. In the areas where I have clearly receded, I can see tiny hairs growing since a few weeks. I have read on multiple websites that this...

Ok thanks for the answers so far. Ill get some pictures up with flash so you can see the sides and back as well. I'll also post a before pic. The hair loss has been very aggressive, I've lost a lot of hair in the last 6 months. Is there any chance of me regrowing my hair? I have a lot of short...
