26 Male - Seeking Some Advice For Hair Loss! Thanks!

[E/Z]

Hi guys!

I'm 26 - been losing hair since 17 but it wasn't noticeable until like 22-23. Never did anything about it and it leveled off quite a bit.

I still shed but I can always grow my hair out to make it look better than it is (hairline is a really badly received but I wear my hair down in front to cover it.

I went to the Doctor and found out I have very mild hypothyroidism which I got under control, its been 6 months though and I haven't noticed any significant regrowth from thyroid meds. My dad is bald although he still has a little on the top but was much balder than me at my age. My hair loss has been slow despite the fact that I shed a lot.

I tried propecia for like a month but it made my hair shed more and I didn't feel like taking a lot of meds so I stopped for the time being. I am wondering if I go back on if I can regain density and maybe fix my hairline with a transplant later.

Let me know your thoughts/opinion/ideas/advice on regimen/etc. I would really appreciate it!!

I've attached pics as well...

Best-
E/Z

Have you lost hair since you started thyroid meds?

Also, finasteride in a maintenance drug. Very little chance it gives noticeable regrowth, but it will maintain what you have (if you are a good responder to it). Make sure you read about the sides though.
