Hey all, so currently my hair is slightly past an NW2, except the rest of the hair on the top of my head has been starting to thin out recently too. It's not too serious and not obvious at all, but I can kind of see a difference, especially on the front part of my head. I'm only 17, so I'm only using minoxidil on my hairline as well as nizoral shampoo (It's been about 1.5 months). It's too early to see results just yet, and I think I shed enough that my hairline is now patchier, but as of now my hair is no longer falling out that much. Is it possible that I will lose a significant amount of hair again before I'm 18 in May and old enough for finasteride (I plan to take 0.25 mg daily if needed, to reduce side effects)? Or is it possible that my hair loss/thinning will not show up again until years later?
I know some people have a receding hairline in their teens, and it just "matures" and stops there, but if more of my hair thinned by just a little bit, does that mean it definitely won't slow down? My hair is not too bad right now, and I just want to finish high school and maybe get through some college before it comes back and I'm serious about meds. My dad began his hair loss around age 30, and is now around a norwood 5, if that means anything. None of my other relatives have significant hair loss. You can see my other thread for pictures.
