Im 26yrs old and I have noticed a little thinning on the right side of my hairline. (the left side is fine). I have been using Nioxin #2 for 5 months now and just started using nizoral 2%.
Thinking about using minoxidil 5%. My hair is thinning but still there (well maybe lost a little). I know with minoxidil I will get a shed. But im wondering if I use it for awhile, but do not end up liking it what will happen? I know i could loose some of the "minoxidil" hair but would i still have the same thin hairs as I have now or would they be gone as well?
Also thinking about a very minor SFU transplant. Just to get me by for a few years until they start doing stem cell hair transplants.
Your help and advice please.

You think it's male pattern baldness? I would recommend Densiti and beta-sitosterol personally, as it's a largely side-effect free way to get a DHT drop, but mild finasteride is fine too, or even a 0.5mg up finasteride dose if you're feeling daring lol

Did anything else health-wise happen at the same time as the start of the loss? I keep speculating about different people having different triggers, and so I'm curious in case you had one

That aside, determine if it's male pattern baldness or not, and then yeah you need some kind of topical or oral DHT reducer and maybe a growth stimulant (like minoxidil)
