You do. Your density looks good. If hairline is the only concern, carefully research "dutasteride ruined my hairline" before jumping on dutasteride.
I read about how some people claimed the same while on finasteride. Idk ill try dutasteride anyway. And yeah the density is good, but not really that good compared to before, cause Ive always had REALLY and I mean REALLY thick asa hair, and I can see the density is going, even my crown is starting to bald, ffs.

Hey man, I’m in the US but my mother is Polish (they’re all bald). I got on finasteride almost 2 months ago and my hair is drastically worse. I didn’t notice my hair loss until my crown started thinning pretty badly. Since being on finasteride, all of my hair feels as thin as my crown was when starting.

I think I was losing all of my hair because of stress and without finasteride it probably would’ve been the same anyway. Have you noticed a lot of excess shedding? Have you been stressed lately?

I dont notice legit increased shedsing when stressed, only when Im in "in the mood" o and constantly jerking off, probably cause of the dht, prolactin increase. Also when I supplement Vit D or sit in the sun the shedding decreases drastically, no joke, probably to like 10 hairs a week?
I do have a vit d defiency, and since Vit D does upregulate PGE2 in the lungs and has some role in follicle phases it would make sense why I have this effect. Interestingly I saw a study in which it was said that men prone to male pattern baldness have mutated Vit d receptors or something, not sure if legit tho.

Bro get on now before your shedding 50 hairs in the shower like me. Get a shower catcher too and count that sh*t. With your hairline looking like that, you may be surprised...

Granted you have better density than me, our long hair can cover shitty hair lines but once the density goes we’re fucked.

Btw, I’m still kinda convinced finasteride fucked my hair. I had some crown thinning before, now my hair is fried. Definitely pay attention to your shedding now and compare it to your first few weeks on finasteride.

I highly reccomend a hair catcher for your shower.

sure, here you go. As you can see Its getting really f*****g bad. Gonna be buzzing all of it today probably.

f*** dude. that is aggressive as f*** and this is coming from someone who is aggressively balding too. Did your dad also bald at a very young age? How much do you value your hair? Honestly, if you are atleast 5'8 and penis is atleast 5 inches I would get on finasteride right now if you really dont want to be bald.

Nah father only started balding recently, hes a nw2 currently. Height is 5'10, besides dht doesnt affect bone growth that much. Penis is 6.1x 5 inches, with jelqing I could add another inch or 2 probably.

I really hope to get a prescription for avodart, but alot of doctors are f*****g pussies so idk wether Ill get one. I want to do a higher dose of dutasteride, probably around 2.5mg to block most dht, problem is that its a bit expensive for me since it comes with 30 0.5 mg tablets.

Get on minoxidil/rogaine too. The good news is the hair that you do have is still thick and healthy looking so you might not be destined to become a NW6-NW7. Once you go NW6 you aint gonna get no hoes brah

Alot of people seem to get wrinkles and other weird sh*t on it tho, plus youd have to be on it forever otherwise youre fucked, so Ill pass probably. Ill get a dermapen tho.

lmfao you had it bad. Been crying over your dreadfully recedding hairline since you've been here and claim to have started balding at 14 and still have waaaaay better hair than 90% of members here, op included.
Why the hostility? I did start balding at 14, it was just really slow until I started treatments at 19. If you've not got anything productive or helpful to say to me don't reply to my posts, especially when it wasn't directed at you.

Depends on wether you look like Freddie Ljungberg or


Just now

Very few men have Freddie Ljungberg's facial structure. He doesn't have a giant bulbous head, like I've seen in some balding men, and has a 1 in a million jaw, cheekbone, and eye structure. Yeah, he can get away with it.

In all my time I've been at Hairlosstalk, this is the first time I've seen penis enlargement come up on the forum. And I thought I saw everything, from freaked out NW0s to uber-dense NW1s worrying about cowlicks. Well, that about topped it. Dicks.

Don't try finasteride at such a young age. I would wait couple years if I were you.
