29, Receded And Low Facial Hair (with Pictures)

[Andy499]

Hi I’m Andy and I’m new here. I’ve just turned 29.

Looking for some opinions and advice.

The front of my hair receded about 10 years ago but has not changed much since then, thinning on top that’s about it, my front has been the same for years but I’ve noticed it might be getting worse. I also have very little facial hair I have a moustache that doesn’t meet in the middle, and hair on my chin/Center of neck. I feel very ugly and that I don’t fit in with the modern look.

Is there anything I can do to regrow my hair or grow facial hair?

I wouldn’t mind one, either hair or a beard but not having both is utterly depressing.

I have attached two pictures but not of my full face to spare you all the horror.

Can no one offer any advice? Am I stuck looking like this?

Get on finasteride + minoxidil + dermarolling.

Give that a year then get a hair transplant to fill in your temples.

You can try minoxidil for your facial hair but it probably won't do a whole lot.

Thanks for the advice, but there’s no way I can afford a hair transplant. I’m a low earner.
I’ve tried minoxidil on my face before and it didn’t do anything. I have some kirkland minoxidil at home still, but it’s been sat there for around 3 years, is it still safe to use?

I just did some research on that drug you mentioned and the common side effect is erectile dysfunction and low sex drive. Reported in up to 20% of users. I don’t think I want to risk that.

Sides are rare with the drug, most people don't get them. I've been on the drug for over 2 years; only side I've had is watery jizz here and there.

Think of it this way; you won't be getting laid when you're rocking a Norwood 6 with grown out sides.

I have a long term partner, been together 2 years. I’m not sure what to do really.

Will minoxidil work on its own? Also I’ve had it around 3 years will it still be safe to use?

Also, hair transplant, how can it be affordable?
