check out this pattern of hair loss

[CCS]

I thought we keep our side hair and just lose the top. But after Gardener pointed out my side hair loss a week ago, I'm starting to realize just how much the sides disappear too. They may not go slick bald, but I think it is very inaccurate to say the sides are not affected by male pattern baldness. The whole head is. The nature of male pattern baldness is that your hair starts thinning long before you can see it. Actually, it is visible. You just don't look as thick as some people anymore. You just don't think you see it because it does not look like balding yet, to you.

I have the exact same thing and it bugs me alot, my sides are almost nonexistant

It is happening to me too. From the top of the ear forwards, I'm at probably 40% density. I have to make sure all my hairs are parallel so there are no openings to show scalp. I really hope dutasteride and foam fill that in. This happened during the last 4 years while on Proscar and Nizoral, which shows they are not strong enough to maintain. Minoxidil does not slow male pattern baldness, it just stimulates growth. Had I been on minoxidil, I might not have noticed it this early.

I just hope the sides respond even better than the vertex to foam and dutasteride.

I'm just gonna mentally file this one under: "HM will eventually fix it."

I have the exact same thing.

Also the hair there never grows long and seems to fall out when it's around 3-4 cm max.

Unfortunately that's the WORST kind of hairloss (I have it), I never really even had sides to begin with, thent o lose what I have makes me look like an alien. There's nothing that can be done about it. I've been on finasteride for over 5 years now, rogaine for over 12 years, lasercomb for one year, nothing helps.

If you get a hair transplant, it will still look fake because if you have no sides, then anything on top looks unnatural. You cannot get a hair system for the same reason. You can always tell someone wearing a piece of the lack of side of head hair.

The only way to deal with side loss is to grow it out - but you can't grow it out if you're thinning badly on top, so you're f ucked either way. Nature - the boffin at parties.

In a case of global thinning the only option is the buzz cut.

I have this to! But taking a look around at alot of dudes in recent times I think it is normal. I was looking at pics of myself in highschool and my hair was acutally never that dense at any point right above my sideburns. I guess its always been a thin area... although I have been blaming spironolactone for the below temporal loss.
