Ok I Need A Solid Answer On If I Am Balding Or Not.

I keep getting really inconsistent answers on this website and I think it’s because some angles my hair looks ok and others it looks really thin, so I figured I’ll put in a good mix of pictures. I’m currently deciding between watching my hair, trying solo rogaine, trying solo propecia or doing the big 3. I am 28 years old and I think my hairline has been alittle receded but back since 21, not sure if it’s actively receding slowly. It’s thinning that has me worried.

What do you guys think?

You need to compare your juvenile hairline and now. You should know your hairline best. You also need to pull back your hair so we may see the hairline.

However form the pictures, it appears if you've receded, it's a mature hairline and is not aggressive. Your thickness is uniform.

You seem to have some temporal recession. Does that warrant you starting minoxidil or finasteride? Unfortunately that's a decision that you alone can make. You should take into consideration your family history. Is your father bald? What about your maternal uncles? Do you have an older brother and if so how is his hair?

Only person who had any balding in my family was my paternal grandpa and that wasn’t until he was super old and on chemotherapy, otherwise he had mild recession like nw2.5 or 3 in his late 60s. Dad is nw1.

My hairline at 21 is attached, don’t think it’s moved too much. A slow recession I’m cool with I think, I’m worried about thinning

Do you think I have thinning? What Norwood would you say I am? I was thinking 2 on my worse temple 1.5 on my better.

Went to a hair transplant doctor to get checked and I do have thinning present pretty much whole frontal area but it’s really early.

Deciding between trying propecia again or just going with seti.

Probably gonna start rogaine too at some point.

This sucks balls man, but atleast I have a definitive answer and can stop taking pictures and making threads.

I wouldn’t wait much honestly, the longer you wait the harder it will be to get it back.

You are barely losing your hair, if at all...

The pattern is so diffuse though... like nw7 pattern with god damn retrograde. Apparantly atleast my donor area is fine...

I wouldn’t wait much honestly, the longer you wait the harder it will be to get it back.

I know dude... propecia scare me though I went on and off it experiencing ridiculous sheds... afraid of making my hair worse with but maybe I should just bite the bullet because I’ll probably be noticibly balding before 30 anyway but it’s still nagging at me hard.

I have seti coming in the mail too (slowest delivery ever, literally being delivered on a turtle I think). That one guy westionc got such good results with it, I’m thinking maybe I should see if I get maintenance with it first?
