    17 with receding hairline - help?

    Why should I not care? If I can do something about a problem I have, I would take the risk. Shookwun are you saying my hair got worse? I thought at least some of the smaller hairs were from regrowth since they were not that visible before compared to my baseline picture. Of course I'm still...

    17 with receding hairline - help?

    It's been a bit over 2 and a half months since I started using minoxidil, and my hairline is looking really weird right now. I have a bunch of little hairs around the border(especially on the right side), but the edge of my thicker hair seemed to have receded a bit (compare to my baseline...

    Can hair thinning ever halt significantly if it starts at a very young age?

    Ok, it looks like I can't just hope for the best. Here are the pictures of my current hair. I am definitely going to try finasteride when I turn 18 in around 4 months, but I'm afraid that I would have lost too much by then. Should I ask about it now? I developed pretty early, and given that I am close...

    Can hair thinning ever halt significantly if it starts at a very young age?

    Hey all, so currently my hair is slightly past an NW2, except the rest of the hair on the top of my head has been starting to thin out recently too. It's not too serious and not obvious at all, but I can kind of see a difference, especially on the front part of my head. I'm only 17, so I'm only...

    17 with receding hairline - help?

    After one and a half months using minoxidil and nizoral, I'm still really worried. My hairline looks very rough and more uneven than it was when I started treatment. Maybe it's just the results of shedding and I should see regrowth soon, or maybe the thinning is getting more aggressive. If it is...

    17 with receding hairline - help?

    I would use finasteride, but I'm 4 months away from turning 18 so i'm not sure if I can get a prescription. I don't even know where to go to get one, and I don't really trust online stuff. My hairline has gotten a little bit worse, and people are starting to notice. How screwed am I?

    17 with receding hairline - help?

    This is my 6th week on minoxidil and nizoral. Will these hairs get longer and more normal with more time? If so, how long should it take?

    17 with receding hairline - help?

    I have been using minoxidil on my hairline for the past week and a half, and I notice some fuzzy, colorless, almost invisible hair on my temples. There's also a bit of that hair (but darker color) on the front of my hairline. Will these hairs turn into normal hairs given some time? My hairline...

    17 with receding hairline - help?

    I just got some 5% minoxodil foam from target and will try it for the next 3 months. Still not sure on finasteride (at least for now when i'm still in high school).

    17 with receding hairline - help?

    I'll try and see how it works. By the way, should I apply minoxidil to my hairless temple regions? My hairline too? My entire head? I've heard about some of the shedding and I don't know if applying it all over the place would really be necessary.

    17 with receding hairline - help?

    $2 a month seems cheap, so that would be great (given it doesn't cause any side effects since i'm still pretty young). I'll call my pediatrician and bosley tomorrow. In the meantime, I think i'll try the minoxidil foam on my hairline along with nizoral shampoo.

    17 with receding hairline - help?

    Thanks for the advice guys, it's good that I realized the problem before it got severe. I just picked up some nizoral today and I'll use it as instructed (once every 2-3 days). I also noticed some minoxidil liquid (enough for 3 months) for $20 at target, which I think is a good deal. Should I...

    17 with receding hairline - help?

    Hey guys, so I'm not quite sure how bad it is, but I think my hairline is receding and I don't know what to do (around a NW2). I don't think my hairline was always like this, even though I have a pretty high hairline. My dad was also pretty much bald on the top of his head by age 50. The rest of...
