I've been balding since 18. Started with receding temples and then moved on to the frontal 1/3.
Currently Im an anterior NW4. I inherited the balding gene from my maternal grandfather. He's a NW5A and almost 80 years old but started balding very early and it all finished before his thirties.
Since I'm a mixed african/caucasian my hair does not allow styling and my bald spots are all there for everyone to see.
Pics:
I've undergone a hair transplant a year ago, a failed hair transplant by a micrograft butcher. That's why I still have some hair on the temples. 600 grafts overall, very poorly angled but I gues I am lucky that my hair go all over the place anyway.
I'm scheduled for a hair transplant on 18 December with Dr. Lupanzula. Hopefully 3000 grafts or maybe even 3500 to recreate a natural hairline and the frontal 1/3 maybe a some of the middle too.
My question is. Should I try dutasteride to keep my natural hair or should I just forget about it and do another hair transplant once my crown gets bald? I already have some itching sensations in the crown and in the frontal "island" of hair. So it is just a matter of time when they will thin out.
I must say I am a bit sceptical about all those drugs and reading about all those side effects do not encourage me... Not the ED since that is not much of a matter to me, but mostly liver disfunctions
