Update. I might about 2 years and 8 months on finasteride, and my hair is still receding. I know my hair is below baseline when I started Nd here are pictures I tried to get better angles. My hair seems dried out and dead. I tried tea tree shampoo from Walmart and it seemed to irritate my scalp. And make me shed a little bit more(super red scalp when using). So I quit using it. I’m debating minoxidil, I’m scared of negative side effects. The picture with a circle in it is the side where I have a scar in my hairline that makes it look worse but I thing that’s why it Bothers me. My natural flow of hair comes from that side and it’s obvious

I have spent 20 years trying to find the right hair growth shampoo, hair treatment etc such as, finderstride, propecia. Regaine, laser hats and vitamins. I have tried everything and finally I have found something that is working for me. It is totally natural and is going to change the face of male and female hair loss. I never wanted to have a transplant and at 47 I was about to finally give up and shave it off however after trialling a new product for 6 months I am finally proud of the results. Furthermore it is all natural way to get the scalp healthy and alive again again. This I not just a shampoo it’s a complete process and all will become clear. I will be sharing my secret to the world at the end of the year. It’s a kit that includes everything you need to get hair growth and a healthy scalp. It’s early days but I have personally spent 6 months testing this process. And I want everyone one of you guys to also see the benefit. I have setup a Instagram account under the name of @edenhairgrowth and will keep you up-to date with my progress. Follow the account for latest news and product information. Seriously this is a game changer for anyone who wants to stop using chemicals in your hair.

OP, you need to stop worrying about including your face in the photos and set up a way of taking pictures of your front hairline from the same angle, over months, so you can see whether there are any changes.

Dude, hair looks good, hairline looks good, density looks great. Maybe you had thicker hair but you are aging, getting older. It's normal if you have "less hair" now.
What I would recommend to you is that you get off those meds, start working out and start treating your body right. I would say you have at least 10kg more then you should. Cut your bodyfat % and stay healthy.
Take care of your diet, your body and mind will follow.

I do workout avidly. I just don’t diet well. I’m about 6’1 205-210. I’m far from fat. I wrestled my entire life, so I put on natural weight after high school. I was about 160 when I graduated with like no body fat, but that was with all the cardio and stuff that came along with sports.

With that being said tho, I don’t disagree with you I meant to put that in my first response

If you had diffuse thinning, I would have said pics dont tell the whole story. But you are a receder, pics can literally show you if there is any recession, and there isnt any. Dont know why you say you have no success on finasteride.

Thinking about starting minoxidil been on finasteride for about 2 years and 7ish months. And just moved thinking about using keeps. Anybody used it
Before ? And what do you think? Here are pics of my hair styled. I have a scar on my right temp from a car accident right where my hair loss is which I think is why I think my hair is so much worse. I know I have thinning. My hair line seems less dense than before. And I’ve noticed a lot of shedding lately

Look through all pics because the middle ones are the ones where you see more thinning

Well maybe your assumption was correct and maybe you have thinned a little but your on finasteride right? Not sure what else you could do at this point, maybe your maintaining
