    Dad Bald At 26, I'm Thinning Fast At 23, Do I Stand A Chance?

    I appreciate that, it might be. That first picture 2 years ago was after a very very heavy shed. It’s hard to tell, but some days in the sunshine I’m really starting to see how thin it’s getting in the temples. Still presentable most days thankfully. But the sides have definetly been getting...

    Dad Bald At 26, I'm Thinning Fast At 23, Do I Stand A Chance?

    Okay. 2 year update on finasteride and 1x a day minoxidil . I feel like it’s still progressing, figured it would. My temples appear to have gotten thinner and slightly back further, and thinning on the sides seems to have started (or picked up). I still plan to stay on both, but any opinions on...

    Dad Bald At 26, I'm Thinning Fast At 23, Do I Stand A Chance?

    I would say shortly after I started, like a month or so the clumps stopped coming out. Then I stopped looking to keep my sanity. As far as density, I think it did thicken up a little. I was thinning mostly in the temples (still am) but I feel like it helped make it not as noticeable. I disnt...

    Dad Bald At 26, I'm Thinning Fast At 23, Do I Stand A Chance?

    Honestly that was one thing that really freaked me out when it started, I really try not to look at my hands when I shower now. It used to be so bad I could see what seemed like handfuls, it definetly seems to have calmed down. I’m sorry I don’t have any exact answers for you

    Dad Bald At 26, I'm Thinning Fast At 23, Do I Stand A Chance?

    So it’s been a year since my last update. 14 months total on finasteride. I don’t want to jinx it, but I feel like my hairline is holding and I don’t think* my density hasn’t changed much. I use minoxidil before bed every night along with finasteride daily. As far as side effects I don’t seem to have any. I’m a...

    Dad Bald At 26, I'm Thinning Fast At 23, Do I Stand A Chance?

    2 months and a couple days in on finasteride and minoxidil once a day. Just cut my hair with the same clippers as in the original picture. I'm fairly certain it looks thicker because of the light, but I do believe I'm shedding less. Or, it may seem that way because I try not to pay attention to it. I...

    How Long Before finasteride Slowed Your Shedding?

    Really? Ive been shedding like crazy though. Been the same since before I stared finasteride though. But my hands are covered, I mean covereddd after shampoo, easily a couple hundred. Plus loads throughout the day too. I don't feel it's normal, and was hoping finasteride would slow it down at some point and...

    How Long Before finasteride Slowed Your Shedding?

    It was hard for me to find an answer to this for some reason. I guess maybe I'm confused as to weather "results" mean stop the shedding that male pattern baldness causes or seeing actual regrowth. Basically I got on finasteride to hopefully stop my thinning, and stop the crazy numbers of hairs that I shed, I don't...

    Holy Shed! Way Too Many Hairs Are Falling! Help!

    This is a ridiculous shed...background first I guess, I'm 23 and I've been noticing my thinning in my temples and a reasonable amount of shedding for about a year now, I recently buzzed my head (3 weeks ago or so) to a #8 clipper, and that's when I noticed how visible my temple thinning was, and...

    Dad Bald At 26, I'm Thinning Fast At 23, Do I Stand A Chance?

    Shed like crazy again today about the same as yesterday maybe more. I've been shedding a lot for some time now, maybe a year or so but these past 2 days have been ridiculous, 2-3x what I normally do. It's pretty alarming. But, I'm hoping it's from overusing (or my body not liking) nizoral. I...

    I really appreciate the positive replies about finasteride, it does help to hear some positivity

    Dad Bald At 26, I'm Thinning Fast At 23, Do I Stand A Chance?

    I wish I could say that or think that it's true. I know a lot of people freak out when they recede or whatever, but it seems as though my dad lost all of his extremely quickly, and it seems to following suit for me. I wish I could explain how fast my hair thinned in the corners and really how...
