male pattern baldness. A mature hairline is a circular hairline, instead of the straight line across (and maybe even a dip down) one often has in highschool.

Your hairline is sunken at the ends, you'll most likely need hair transplants to close that off.

If he does start using rogaine at the temples, what are his chances of seeing some regrowth?

I don't know.

chanses are that finasteride would work great on regrowth alsow.. when its this early.. and minoxidil foam do have a 85 % on getting some regrowth so chanses are good.
what he does about it is his choise though

thanks...i think minoxidil is too drastic an option now because im only a Norwood 1.75-2...i think finasteride is my best option...maybe start with a low dose of .50 daily

yes at this stage i would alsow just go with the finasteride, its not realy notisebul that u are loosing hair... if people like us dont go looking for it.
So finasteride should do the works for you, and could alsow regrow the litle you have lost.

Rogaine Foam is safer than finasteride, thereby less drastic. Keep in mind as well that minoxidil is much better at REGROWING hair than finasteride. The catch though is that you'd still need finasteride and/or an alternative dht blocker. It's possible that finasteride alone could regrow as well, so you can try that out first for 6 months or longer and see what kind of results you get.
