Am I going bald? What should I do? (27 yr old)

[rockyrcn]

Over the last few years I've noticed my hair getting less thick. It used to be very think but now if there is any light above my head you can see through my hair to the scalp. Not just in the front but all over the top.

Over the last year it seems to have gotten worse and also receded a bit at the corners (which I know can be normal).

No one in my family is bald so I don't understand why I would be. What do you think I should do? Any advice is much appreciated.

Your hair looks ok to me. But its hard to tell from the pics. Personally, if I noticed it getting thin I'd jump on propecia immediately before it got any thinner. But then I'm OCD when it comes to hair. You can either wait and simply keep a close eye on it or just take the plunge now to be safe. If you get on propecia now, just remember its a life long commitment (or until you just dont give a f*** anymore) and you'll be spending around 60 dollars every month unless you get the online off brand stuff. I would do it, but that's just me.

My hairline looked like yours a few years back but it has receded more now. I think those baby hairs at the front will thin out more like mine did and you will just have more recession but I think the rest of your hair will be fine. Unfortunately Propecia or rogaine do not work great at the hairline but at least you can save the rest of your hair. I would see a doctor for an expert opinion before you start any treatments.

My hair has NEVER been as thick as yours looks. I don't think you need any treatments.
