My story: I'm 31, at a NW5 going into 6. Both my grand dads are NW6, my dad is not bald, but has no temples, my brother 2 years older than me shows no signs of balding. I had no temples at a very early age (20 I think), actually started noticing hair in my palms at the age of 26 when I was doing my hair in the morning. I didn't notice any hairs in my palms/pillow from 26-31, but apparently I was thinning in my crown during this time period(Can be seen in picture). I tried shaving my head, but doesn't look like I can pull it off as I look like a goblin out of World of Warcraft. I have not been on any medication or prevention until October 1 2018, I started using Regenepure DR daily and doing a scalp massage with a think anti cellulite brush. Fast forward to now, I had a consultation with a Hasson & Wong Consultant recently, I was told my donar area is below average, but a hair transplant I am definitely a candidate for an FUT procedure, estimated 3500 grafts to rebuild the front and possibly some grafts left over to thicken up the crown, recommended to get on finasteride so I did as of today with 0.5mg dose. Going to see if I get any sides form finasteride, this will help me determine if I want to get the transplant as I am pretty sure and the consultant is confirmed that I will continue to go bald based on my pattern. I also want to see what effects finasteride has on my body fat as fitness is a big part of my life.
Pic 1 is with a buzz cut, rest of the pics are with hair grown out.
Any thoughts ?
