innovativeguy's Story - (22yr old, thinning & recession pix)

[innovativeguy]

So I'm new to the board and my knowledge with hair loss is very minimal, in terms of what works and what doesn't work.

Anyhow, I'm 22 and I've been thinning since my senior year of high school. I've always been in denial but it's getting to the point where it's getting ridiculous. The amount of hair that comes out when I shampoo is just crazy. I've been keeping my hair long to cover up my scalp. My last haircut was back in early July. My hairline is pretty much gone and have no hope of getting it back. I'm thinking of doing a buzz cut or something.

Can someone recommend any advice? It's not too late is it? Can I save it with just minoxidil and nizoral shampoo or should I really get in Fincar?

The back of your head is fine (hair parts that way, perfectly normal)

But you do have some receding at the temples. Nothing really that serious though, so plenty of hope to keep your hair and improve it for a long time.

I'm not really sure what the best course of action would be, the other members would though. =)

take finasteride and apply minoxidil on the temples.
