Bonjour !

Hello guys


Firstly, I would like to apologize for my english - so bad. I'm a french guy, with (half anf half) french (caucasian) and east indian blood.

Anyway, it would be great if you could give me some opinions about this.

I am 27 years old, a father with a NW1 at 69 years, and a NW3 maternal grandfather. Don't have others men's exemple in my family.

My hair is pretty thick and like those kind of oriental hairs despite of the fact that my father's hair is thin, as a lot of bengali people.

I noticed, about one year ago, that my temples, especially the left one, were receding a little bit. But I've always had, unlike my brothers, those kind of mini triangle above my hears, so, never thought it was dramatic.
But, on september 2008, after a 3 monthes trip in South America, and an haircut, I became frightened with all this bullshit.
There was an hole between my hairline and my eyebrow.

I presume my temples were receding.

But, for now, I dont know if it s gonna be a mature hairline (je touche du bois) or just the beginning of baldness.

Since january 20th, i m using Rogaine Foam 5 %. I ve observed few and tiny hairs on my templess, growing back. It 's becoming more esthetic, but still slices.
My hairline is still strong (je touche, à nouveau, du bois) and have, for now, no problem on my vertex and a good density.
I'm 27, so it's not so bad, but i would like to keep all this stuff like it s now.


Another fact, which makes me worried, are those slightlies and blond/red hairs on those temples, which can prefigure the recession.

I m becoming paranoiac, and I ve cuted my hairs at2 centimeters one week ago, just to see how it look this way.

I ve past a lot of - too much - time on international hairloss forum, and, in a way, keep staying optimistic when I read all the subjects (acell, intercytex, laminin 511, FUE, etc.).
If, one day, it's getting worse, i 'd try Propecia/others DHT blockers.

Here are somes photos I took
- in october 2008
- December 2008
- Mars 2009 (Rogaine FOAM since 21/01/09, once daily, just a temples)
- End of Mars (short hairs) --> really poor and strange quality, dunno what happened with my cellular.


What would you think, fellows?

Another time, excuse my english

I hope getting some answers and give you my best wishes.

If you're concerned about hair loss, use the the total big 3, which is Minoxidil (what you're using), Finasteride (Propecia, Proscar) and Nizoral.

That's all you can do, other than have a good, low fat diet and exercise.

Tks Kanga

The fact is I would like to defer as far as possible the Propecia Day, because of:
- side effects;
- the later you use it, the later good effects last (am I right?).

Re: 27 yo [pics inside] - Opinions?

you hair loss in not bad if any at all

maybe just a mature hairline

but if your concerned about your possible hair loss i would suggest to go on finasteride for maintenance

very few people experience side effects from finasteride

you wont know if you will get them unless you try

cheers

Dude if I said all the things I wanted to say to you I'd easily be banned from this board...so I'll keep it clean. You're a gaping snatch with no hairloss. Grow up.

Is there anything we can do about these posters? I feel like these guys come here to slap the rest of us in the face.

Relax, PersonGuy

I am highly aware due to the fact that some of you have a much more important problem.

And to these guys, I wish them with all my heart that they soon find of what to be happy. Keep believing


However, and perhaps it's not really important and/or observable with those shitty pics, I have some worries.

Perhaps am I wrong too.


But I certainly don t want to make fun with this thread.

If some people feel injured, excuse me !

PersonGuy, I understand how you feel but this guy is worried because that middle area of his hair is definitely starting to go. We all know starting early is the best advice. I know when you see guys complaining even when they have a full head of hair "hits a nerve" for you since you have not been so lucky. However, he does have a right to get people's opinions. I honestly don't think photos show the real story. I can do some creative styling and you would think I have perfect hair for my age. However, in person, I could show you how bad it really looks yet because its not as bad as your situation, you will say I have nothing to worry about. Ask someone with a full head of hair the same question and they will see it differently. Some people on here do have BDD so their perspective is always going to be totally different than those who don't.

I disagree with that. I see plenty of people, including women, who have that little spot in the middle. Plus, he said his mom's dad is an NW3, so, he wouldn't be losing the middle first, theoretically.
I don't agree with PersonGuy at all. I understand that point of view (and UM, and the other guys), but really, I don't think someone would post pictures of themselves on a hairloss forum to tease people they don't even know. I don't think that was what KerzyGuy was doing, I don't think thats what this guy is doing. People want an opinion, don't know where else to turn, and they come here.

Just a precision: this spot on my hairline is just a cowlick. this is the lower part of the hair, I think the strongest. It s like a pick or the point of a triangle.


What makes me worry about are my temples. But I guess I should be able to hide it, even worse, with longer hair and medicinal maintenance.

Thanks for answering

ClayShaw, I have a similar situation where at the center of my hairline. I have a true widow's peak and it has thinned out some but I don't have a big gap like Lyric where my widow's peak is located. Maybe mine is a mild cowlick too but it has thinned out over the past year. He may thin out there as well like I did. You never know. If you consider that normal than I guess I must not have any problem then. :whistle: My hairline WAS very similar to Lyrics BEFORE I started taking Propecia. Now 3 years later, Propecia did nothing to save my hairline so most likely it won't save Lyrics but I guess it might be worth a try.

Yes, my hairline is definitely worse than it was before taking Propecia. Propecia does not help a receding hairline.
