19m Diffuse Thinner, What Would You Guys Recommend?
- Thread starter Riotmiot42
- Start date
wow, that looks bad for a 19 year old.
Its good that you're taking finasteride. but you really need to find a way to get Minoxidil. It will help thicken up and regrow those miniaturized hairs.
I'm also a diffuse thinner and Minoxidil has helped me a lot.

It costs me like 50$ a bottle so I'm not sure if I can afford getting it. I'm 19 and already have almost no hair. Really sucks. Could a hair transplant help me if all doesn't work? Since I'm a diffuse thinner and all

No one will give you a hairtransplant at 19 years old. You will have to use minoxidil if you want to regrow your hair, there is no other cheaper way. And how will you even be able to afford a hairtransplant when you can't even afford min? But use min once a day, that will reduce the costs.

When would I be able to get one? When I become 21?

I would not count on it. But maybe if you have maintained your hair untill then the doctors might reconsider.

No doctor will give you a transplant because it looks like you are destined to be a slick norwood 6 by 25

My dad is bald but my mom's grandpa only has a receding hairline. Most of my uncles had a pretty receding hairline by the age of 27-28 or so. On my dad side most of my nephews have a full head of hair at the age of 25. My brother of 26 is balding heavily though, he wasn't as bad as I am right now but his sides are pretty much gone and his backside (vortex?) Is pretty much bald. Really sad to hear that I might become a n6 by the age of 25. Is there no hope for me? Does fina even work?No doctor will give you a transplant because it looks like you are destined to be a slick norwood 6 by 25

Yeah its tough man. I really feel for you. I have seen some cases where guys in your position are able to make a full recovery but it usually involves dutasteride,minoxidil and dermarolling.I think you should just stick with finasteride for a year and hope for the best before anything else. Ideally you would want to add minoxidil too (it can make a huge difference for some) but I understand the financial situation is tough. Thats one of the things that suck the most about balding while still in school, the treatments can be hard to get without a job.
And yeah dont believe the moms dad hype. That is a myth and is misunderstood by most people. It has to do with the androgen receptor gene which doesnt really tell the full story. After wasting a shitload of time on this site and seeing a ridiculous amount of posts i'm almost certain for most guys your fathers side of the family is a better indication of if you will be balding or not.

Thanks for your understanding man. I honestly wouldn't mind going bald when I'm 24 or so. I'm done with college then and at that point I wouldn't care that much. It's just when I go to college I see no one who's bald. It's hard not to compare yourself with them and feel bad about your balding head.
I will try to derma roll for 2 months and see how much improvement I'll have doing that. If I only have little gains ,I'll try mino for 3 months. If nothing works I guess I have to take the L and go bald, since hair transplants are apparently not possible for guys as young as me :/. Btw what is the correct way to derma roll? Thanks for responding in advance

The thing with hairloss is 3 months is usually not enough to tell if something is working. With minoxidil and derma rolling you would need atleast 6 months to see and with finasteride atleast a year. Get kirkland liquid minoxidil if anything because it is cheaper. For dermarolling 1mm is okay but next time maybe go for the 1.5mm.

Will definitely do this! Also, how long does a bottle of mino last?

1 minoxidil bottle is 60ml, so if you use it 2x day it would last you less than 30 days.
Hey just shave your head...Many guys even if they have hair shave there heads bald....Its a common fashion statement today....The 80's and 90's are gone....Don't stress it just shave it....You can always grow facial hair as that is a very popular fashion statement today...

To say hair doesn't matter is a joke .no one wants to go bald or even progress past nw1. I want to stay nw0 for life but we know how slim the chances are of that.
I see a lot of bald guys with hot chicks...

I understand what you mean but I just want to try and see if anything works. If nothing works f*** it, there are worse things in life than going bald. I just have to embrace it. But at least I want to try. Thanks for your input though.

Is SMP a viable option for when all hope with treatments is gone and you don’t want the cue ball look? I’m asking for myself but might also be something for Riot to keep in mind.
I’m not there yet, but I always thought SMP + Hair transplant (to create the illusion of hair) is gonna be my back up plan if I can’t accept slick bald.

Look into LLLT red light therapy. There are studies showing its benefit for male pattern baldness.
You can get a cheap 660 nm wavelength light for plants on amazon for like $20.00. Does the same thing as more expensive ones and the 660nm was used in studies for hair growth.
