20 year old male. How long do I have until my hair goes?

[anonymous]

This is a picture of me from June 2013: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/827/130512033418.jpg/
Does it look like my hair has gotten worse since then? I got it cut in the summer, but yeah...sorry for all of the obsessive posts, I'm sure you can all understand I'm somewhat concerned about this.

Don't worry brother, we're all in the same boat here. We know EXACTLY how you feel. You picture from June... hard to tell. Your initial photos you have your hair pulled back so we can see the hair line. Cant' see the hair line there.

You need to learn how to take pictures. When dealing with hair, you need to take high quality pictures in good lighting with different angles.

Someone copy that and send it to Nigam.

Here. The lighting isn't great, but I can never get good lighting. Here's from a bunch of different angles. I'm pretty sure it still looks like I'm going bald since I'm going bald:

Look at this pic from when I was like 16: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/202/1vb9.jpg/

Was I balding at 16. WTF!?!?!?!?!? I have chronic anxiety. Could my anxiety have caused me to have started to lose my hair at 16? Like my body is literally always tense, and has been for like 10 years.

Its called Male Pattern Baldness because you lose hair in a pattern. It usually starts in the temples or the crown.

You're losing hair in your temple.

Doesn't my hairline look pretty similar to how it was four years ago though?

Eh, oh well. I guess I'm screwed.

So should I get on finasteride? Or is my hairline already ****ed up and it would just look bad regardless?

Does my hair even look good enough to bother keeping it with finasteride? As XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX said, my hairline is toast.

Hairline is pretty bad, but it's better than what it might be if you don't get on treatment. Let's say you do nothing about it. Imagine what your hairline might be in a year. You'll look back and wish you kept THIS hair line.

You know guys, it just crept up on me. I had no idea my hairline was receding. I always knew this would happen at some point, but I figured it wouldn't be until my late 20s (which is basically what my dad always told me). Do you think my chronic anxiety contributed to it?

I don't even have any money for propecia...

I'm thinking of trying rogaine. Will that help my hairline regrow?

get fincar 20$ for 3-4 month supply. 9$ if you can get a script for proscar and get it at walmart. last resort though an online pharmacy. Also yes get on rogaine and nizoral. If you want regrowth this is the best way to try.

 

[Ryukil]

Is it not enough to just try one thing?

 

[Agahi]

better to go hog wild. The big three is the proven regimen.

If you just want to maintain, then Propecia is all you need. You don't need Rogaine or Nizoral.

Rogaine is a growth stimulant and Nizoral is a mild anti androgen because of the Ketoconazole content.

You don't need to use Rogaine, but at least use a shampoo that has Keto.
