I'm turning 29 this October btw

I thought you were a lot younger. You obviously have recession and a little diffusing at the hair line but at 29 I think you're doing good.

With finasteride you'll probably be able to maintain a decent head of hair into your 40s

Damn what's with this trend of emo teenager hair recently

joking aside, unlike most people commented, I would say the crown is worth more attention than the hairline. Earlier baldies obsess over a tiny bit of recession but every Norwood veteran would tell you density means everything. Besides, judging by the outline of the temple point and the forelock, this hairline is not even bad especially considering your age and it's not going anywhere.

How the crown itself looks doesn't matter, it depends on the difference of density. If the crown doesn't match your native density elsewhere, then you know you're thinning.

If I had it all to do over again here is what I would do. First off, I'm 47 and did not start "thinning" until I was about 44 ( very lucky)?? Its never easy, no matter the age. I started on finasteride 1.25 MG ( 5 mg cut into 4). If I were you I would cut them into 8ths, so .60mg. and give that a try. It will not be such a shock to your system. But this is only my opinion!! I lost a lot of hair when I started finasteride. on 1.25mg ( shedding??/?) I'm not sure since I never saw hair in my comb/brush. it just looked way thinner, But i wear my hair long so nobody else would notice.Currently 6 months in I loose about 11-16 hairs in the shower, but the first 6 months were terrible, I lost a lot of density. Month 7 things seem to have stabilized and I'm seeing hair grow back In places I have not seen in 2-3 years. I'm not so sold on the fact that once its gone its gone? Some places are better than base line, some not.

I used an x-acto knife. Its not "perfect" but close. That's the dose I have been on now for the past month or so.

You still have really nice hair. I'm still in the "trial" phase myself on Finn. I WILL keep posting pictures as this goes on. So far I'm 50/50 but no sides, and certainly no weight gain if that is your concern.
