Ok. My main concern is the possibility of this getting worse really. It did not use to be like this. How do I know it will stop here? I guess I'll shelve the idea of finasteride at the moment - but I'll have to keep an eye open. Lol @ the 30 to 40 thing. You are probably right - but personally...

I plunged into it. I needed to get to the bottom of this. This should be the last bit of material u need to diagnose lol. 1. Took a shower... Used a generic shampoo (VO5) and conditioner 2-in-1 for normal hair. Rinsed it all out well. 2. Hair still wet - I used a rough comb to spike it...

Well this is great news i suppose. Thx. I do however have what appears to be diffuse thinning around the vertex forward through my whole crown. Ouch. If I wet my hair and spike it up I can see lots and lots of scalp when i view it under the bathroom light. I can tell u that if I wet my...

Did you check out the photos at page 1? My hair is a lot thinner now - what else could it be? Also my hairline has definately "matured" - which is due to male pattern baldness ( ? ).

I've taken some pictures with my hair styled - this may help determine my current Norwood. Yellow squares show nose/eyebrows. The pictures were taken with a flash. Front: Right: Left: Read my post above as well.

A quick update. I've still not started any kind of "proper" treatment - I've just carried on using nizoral about 3 times a week. The odd thing is that I'm literally not losing ANY hair at the moment - not even the usual 100 a day. If I am I'm not noticing it. I always used to. Also if I...

And please don't draw this red line between "the bald guys" and "the guys with some hair". You are not "just some bald guy" offering topicals. You have in fact helped me a lot already. I apologised about moaning like a little girl above - as I didn't realise. We're all men with hairloss at...

I didn't mean to make anyone feel bad - I'm not sure why i pointed out I have had some good genes on here - I was just trying to make myself feel better I guess; not even thinking how it may look to you that are trying to help me. Sorry - was stupid. I don't feel THAT bad about my hairloss...

I'm quite new to this and stuff but maybe Nizoral 1% would be a better idea. ? Appart from that I can't help you - wait for some of the experts to respond. But I'm sure i read somewhere that nizoral 1% is kinder on hair/scalp whilst still being nearly as effective. Good luck

Bah. This is depressing :( Been looking up on propecia/finasteride and DHT - I'm worried about taking a drug like this at such a low age. I'm 20. My body might need this DHT - physically I feel top shape - except the thinning hair. I'm also entering an extremely important year acemedically, any...

I found this post comforting. Thx man :D I don't think i'll need to shave my head if I get on the meds - but I think I could pull off the shaved look if it came to that. Glad to hear about your success - it's probably better that way around. Cos you can always CHOOSE to not have hair...

Thanks alot for all the info :) Helps indeed. I'll look into this and decide upon a regimen that I will start when I get back. At the moment I've decided on: - Propecia - Nizoral 1% I'm currently seeing this girl tho, so topicals may be tricky ( ? ). To be honest I've laid off the...

Of course I wouldnt mind regrowing - but it's a matter of cost. I assume growing will cost more than maintaining - as 2 drugs cost more than just 1. It's a bit scary - as the thin area doesnt really "feel" thinner. If I had not done this photo stuff (mostly for temples) - I would probably...

Also - any idea how I can forget about this? As I can't do anything right now anyway. Since I posted here yesterday I've been checking my hair every damn time i go to the bathroom. A week of this and I'll go mental :hairy: :freaked2:

Argh. If I look at my family tree - hair loss is mostly at the temples. I.e. my dad still has all his vertex hair, but his front/temples are getting damn thin now, crown/top suffering as well. Hes also thin up on the crow area abut his vertex is still intact. I'm just a bit frustrated...
