    My first post... Looking for some general summaries

    I'd start finasteride ASAP, I didn't start until 3 years into my hairloss and regret it as I'm a Norwood 2 instead of 1.5 due to waiting. I did get a minor ball-ache for the first week but it subsided and other than that there has been zero problems.

    Need Advice

    Not good, definitely balding, my hairline was the same at 20 and got worse until 23 when I decided to take the plunge and start fighting it, since then the loss has been minimal.

    I just realized I have a bald spot on the back of my head...

    Damn, your hair looks a LOT like mine, hairloss-wise we could almost be twins but I'm 25. I've been on finasteride for over a year with no improvement but maybe a quarter inch of temple loss so I guess I've maintained mostly. The sad thing is that my younger brother who is 23 has even worse loss than...

    Excessive Hat Wearing?

    I can't wear hats at work and I did get a lot of negative comments about my receeding until I grew my hair out into a fringe in which people no longer comment (thank god) as I can hide my thin temples. As for public.... I wear hats 90% of the time, baseball caps in the summer/spring and...

    SAY NO TO CONCEALER ADDICTION!

    My destiny is to be a 5'10'' medium build NW5 (if my family is anything to go by) I tried the whole working out thing but it's too much work, I mean everyone dies anyways so whats the point in getting buff as hell. Then again I drink twice as much alcohol as anyone I know so I'm a really bad...

    finasteride making me look like a gorilla

    That's odd, it might be minoxidil as I've never heard of Finasteride doing this. Still, every extra follicle helps! :uglylol:

    Does cutting the pill matter?

    It doesn't matter if it's exact, it all equals out. The point of taking them is to saturate your body over time with Finasteride and it only works when taken like that. I've screwed up a lot of times and cut some pills wrong to where I take a bit too much on one day and less on another but...

    24 year old with agressive male pattern baldness - Norwood 2.5 - looking for advice or help? - WITH PICTURES

    A fringe (Medium length), short hair, or buzzed are the only hairstyles I've been able to pull off since my hair loss began. I had long hair/ponytail for like 3 years straight during my high school years but as my hair loss got worse it looked more and more crappy. I can still pull off a...

    Does anybody notice increase in shedding after large and/or unhealthy meals?

    Huh, you might be overthinking things but I did have an awful lot of shedding during my shower yesterday night and prior to that I ate a literal feast of cheap spaghetti and drank 2 cheap 40oz of Steel Reserve. Still, I know a retired pro boxer (my dads friend) who has ate extremely healthy...

    Isn't this a fabulous head of hair for an 100 year old man on his wedding day?

    Geez, he has more hair at 100 than I did at 20, wow... Life is so unfair.

    Hair or Superhero?

    This is a tough one sadly. Hmm... being able to fly would be pretty darn cool and I wouldn't need to have a real job if I had powers like Superman as I could just rob banks or cuban drug lords whenever I ran low on cash as I'd be bulletproof. Yeah, I'd be a bald superman over having hair...

    can i just turn into a ghost already?

    I haven't been on a date in a long time, over 2 years. Everytime I try it never works out despite being a good talker and in average shape. My hair loss makes me look older and just kills it for me so maybe I should just say I'm 34 instead of 24 and date mediocre/ugly 45yr olds like bald29...

    Am I too late to start treatment?

    Do it now or you will regret it, I know that I regret starting treatment a year late.

    Okay, How Screwed Am I?

    That's pretty damn thin, I have thinning as well and can see my scalp when my hair is wet so I hear you on that... I don't know if my regimen of Finasteride, Biotin, and Saw Palmetto has helped much but my hair is a bit thicker at least... still no new regrowth at all, my temples have...

    can i just turn into a ghost already?

    I literally feel the exact same way as you TC. I am basically a ghost to everyone and only leave the house to go to work and never do anything else besides hit up the liquor/grocery store on the way home. The last "event" I went to was a funeral for my grandfather over a year ago. If I were...
