Hey,
Please read entire thread to get full understanding!
I registered here to get some opinions about what I'm in for with my hair, am I getting a mature hairline or do I have male pattern baldness? I assessed myself using the Norwood Scale found here: http://www.nobaldnessnow.com/images/1.jpg and to me it looks like I'm currently a 1, at least in my opinion but that's why I'm posting here, to get the opinion of others.
I've recently the past months been noticing a lot of shedding, whenever I comb my hair in the morning I always see 15-20 hairs and the same before I go to sleep. When I wake up in the morning I will usually find 5 hairs or so on my pillow, so I'm probably losing around 50-60 hairs a day which really worries me. As for the history of male pattern baldness in my family, my dad is definitely a Norwood IV, but he's also the only one with a Norwood IV in my family, no one else on my moms side or dads side has male pattern baldness. My dad was a heavy steroid user in his younger days, he achieved a great physique with very large muscles so I believe that could be a reason for his loss since he started going really bald at 30 and I would of course not want that to happen for me.
As for my hairs state, I still have very thick hair and no sign of loss on the crown at all, it's still so thick that even when wet my scalp cannot be seen. I have added a few pictures below for you all to evaluate. I used to smoke from 16-20 and stopped two weeks ago, I smoked heavily from January 2016 to September the 27th and decided to quit the 27th and haven't touched a cigarette since in hopes of that could maybe be the cause to my shedding, but I heard it takes a while for the effects of stopping to work so we will see what happens. I also since quitting have started living a very healthy lifestyle again than what I used to when I smoked cigarettes, I eat healthy, get a lot of vitamins, drink plenty of water and exercise a lot such as running and lifting weights. Because of my dads steroid use I will never in a million years touch that, I will stay clean and healthy as much as I can.
If any of you can see sign of MBP then please let me know, I have already researched a big deal before posting this thread. I was looking into 5mg Propecia, I could split them with a pill cutter and take 1.25mg dosages everyday forever if that's what it takes to keep my hair. I have nice thick hair and would like to keep that until I grow old enough to not care about my looks anymore. Only thing that scares me from taking it is the side effects like not being able to get a hard on, penis shrinkage etc. I've read many horror stores and if any of you have used it please comment below and tell me what to expect if I ever start using it.
The pictures below are all taken with strong flash except one crown picture so you can see what my crown looks like naturally without a extremely bright light shining onto it. Note that I've always had a large forehead ever since I was little.
Thanks and let me hear you opinions!
