age 26 norwood classification,on propecia and have some questions

[archangel01]

i i am 26 years old.People have always commented about back of my head etc.. i remember taking pics of my back of head with a ****ty phone when i was 17-18 years old in time i forget about it until this year...i used minoxidil very irregularly(like missed it for weeks etcc) and stopped using it.now i have been on finasteride for three months and i have some questions.,is finding 15-20 total hairs on your hands after a good shampoing considered shedding?(i wash my hair every other day,not every day and this was like this before finasteride too i guess).i hardly find any hairs on pillow or brush.And here are some photes i wrinkled my forehead so you can portioned my hair line with it i guess.






when i was 17 years old

cant really see your hairline Norwood 1-1.5

Could be normal everyday shedding unrelated to male pattern baldness or depending on when you quit minoxidil it might be from that. Your hair still looks thick and you have minor thinning on top.

so you think that could be normal daily shedding?

would finasteride be enough to keep my hair?

Yes to both your questions.

There may be some sings of hair loss on top but I don't think you're not going bald anytime soon. If you're not sure, you should take pictures every 6 months to see if you're thinning or not. Remember to take the pictures in the same angle and lighting.

so anyone else?i would appreciate more opinions

thanks, today after shower brushing,i found 3-4 hairs on it,its more than usual(i usually find 1-2 hairs on it) god this hair thing is killing my mental health,i was more mature about it when i was 18-19 years old, i used to find more hairs on my pillow,brush in that times but never think about it that much,now all i think is my hair.now i am 26 years old i expect myself to be more mature about it.

Another thing is when i find more than usual hairs on brush or bath etc..i examine my hair much more and find some flaws that i dont see when i feel good about it lol.For example two days ago after bath i found one hair on brush and it was okay but today i found 3-4 hairs on it and suddenly after brush i think i saw some thinning on my hair line right after above my nose lol not in temples or sides of hairline where you expect thinning but on middle of forehead and it wasnt there two days ago or last week.(And examine my hair under very bright bathroom light all the time before i go out),,,hair is my biggest problem in my life right know,i have a good job,social environment but i think about my hair all the time and since i have been on finasteride and read all these horros stories about it like how finasteride killed peoples hair line and shedding etc...makes me feel more anxious about it, i expect a shed to hit.

I don't know why you're on finasteride. Go to a doctor. They will tell you if you have male pattern baldness and if you should be taking finasteride/min. Your hair looks great at 26. I see some minor thinning in the back but I probably wouldn't use min at this point. And yes people do get accelerated hairloss on finasteride. For me it started in months 4/5 and continued well into month 8 until I finally stopped taking it. I never got back the hair I lost in the front. Speak to a Doctor. I think you're overreacting.

i dont think any of theof people here have any experience detecting male pattern baldness in someone with african hair texture, neither do I do so I am not gonna give you any Norwood classication.

lol yeah when my hair is short its like straight when it grows it goes kinky)
