I really have no clue how serious my hairloss is. I have attached some photos of my hair buzzed number 1 a week ago. When my hair is longer the crown is not visible. However when I get my hair wet it looks like diffuse thinning. I have not had any huge sheds ( nothing on pillow, maybe 5-10 hairs in sink when i wake up and rub my hands all over head however my hair seems thinner on top than the back. When i take pics with extreme lighting with the flash on it looks visible. I have very dark brown hair. I know my temples are receded it has slowly been receding since I was 18. My question is if it looks like this now does that mean I will be slick bald norwood 7 in my lifetime? The picture with my hair longer was taken in november 3 months ago, which is when I started freaking out about my hairloss. I just need some straight answers my girlfriend and people are me are shocked i shaved my head saying " You're not balding on top". My girlfriend says I'm over reacting and it all looks the same on top minus my receding hairline and that the only reason it looks like i'm balding on top is because I use flash with extreme lighting. I really am trying to be proactive because I don't want to be a norwood 7.. I guess what i'm asking from you guys is do you see a future norwood 7 if it looks like this now age 22?

Currently on the big 3

(Started propecia a week ago).Been on minoxidil since 19 only started applying on crown 8 months ago due to hair transplant surgeon noticing maybe slight thining. He wouldn't even prescribe me finasteride a year ago because he said it's common to see scalp on dark hair guys. Is it all in my head?
The back looks thin, but hey, you're a good looking dude and honestly you pull off a shaved head.

Exactly the same pattern on crown I had in 2016 (was 22), but my hairline and temples was much better than your, I was a Norwood 1. I lost 50% of density on whole scalp in 2-3 weeks, even on back and sides. Now I am 23, started treatment a month ago and have noticed regrowth in a matter of 2 weeks. My treatment: 100mg spironolactone for 1 week, than 50mg (enough to stop my itch and sebum) and then added finasteride and ketoconazole 2% (cheap indian Nizoral). On the next week I have noticed minor regrowth on whole diffused area (even on sides, back and hairline). They are invisible white hairs, but pricky and strong enough, so I think they will be terminal. I don't know from what I have such a quick progress, but I doubt that it was finasteride. Maybe spironolactone and ketoconazole. I am also used dutasteride 2 times but dropped—it's expensive and I doubt I need it now. For temples I added 6.5mg of androcur eod (it has cumulative effect) so I have no reason to take higher dosages. It will work, but maybe it take some time, no a big problem for me. My temples slightly receded in summer 2016, so I hope it will regrow it. After next few month I will check my progress and will decide wheather I need 2mg of estradiol ed or not. I am going to cycle it to avoid total feminization.
Damn man that sounds pretty agreesive. I hope the best for you. I'm scared to mess with estradiol it's a life long battle I swear. What do you think about the thinning on back and sides. Does that just mean we have really aggressive hair loss and will be fucked for the future haha ? I thought the back was dht immune.

Stay on finasteride, and maintain.


If you dont, you will regret it.


In a good position re-strengthen, and keep all your hair.



Have a massive bowling ball of thinning on your crown, but the stage is still early.

Finasteride can reverse the effects.
Thanks man let's hope my jewels don't get fucked cuz I will regret this so much haha
