Really need some feedback here. I'm officially a werewolf from oral minoxidil. Also is my crown thinning?

Hey guys you might remember me as the oral minoxidil guy. My hair has more or less stayed the same but I'm concerned about my crown. I took pics in the light and out of it. Some pics were in my car with my hair unbrushed and in a pony tail. I saw a lot of little hair sticking up in part, so I was concerned about thinning. Also the pics in the bathroom are with my hair brushed. I'll also include my werewolf pics so you can see what oral minoxidil did to me. I also still have retrograde when i pull my hair up.

NOTE
Unfortunately I don't have the pics anymore but my hair was much much worse. I deleted my old pictures to stop obsessing and comparing. But oral minoxidil thickened up my hair a lot. My hairline was also a nw2 then as well.

Any additional body hair growth below the neck? I think your crown looks fine btw.

That's insane growth. Have you considered getting tweezers and just plucking the ones forward of your hairline?

Were you on topical minoxidil before this and for how long?

10mg daily and I have some dark rings around my eyes but no eye bags. Just a dark shade

Do you think the finasteride/dutasteride has been a big reason for the regrowth, or you think its mainly the oral minoxidil?

The finasteride and dutasteride stopped the loss but the oral minoxidil boosted the growth. I still use a little bit of topical just in case.

Hair looks fine on the crown. Congrats on the regrowth. Did you slowly make your way up to 10mg? Also, was your hair loss diffuse?

So I had a receding hairline and horrible retrograde. My nape hair receded up to my ears. And the hair above my ears is still diffuse. And I started at 5mg and moved to 10mg.

This is exactly why I tell people minoxidil is key for regrowth. How old are you btw?

To be fair Emptiness, I'd be willing to bet over 90% of the forum members would rather have his hair than what they currently have. Regardless of how it currently looks, a haircut twice a month at a quality barber is more than reasonable in exchange for a NW0.

Grim, I'd suggest getting a haircut and then buying a high rated brand of clippers on Amazon and following the haircut pattern the barber set which would save a lot of money in the long run. I had absolutely no experience cutting hair prior to the pandemic, but after a few tries, I now prefer cutting my hair over spending $25 at my barbershop. Since I have some minor recession at the temples, I usually give myself a low, skin fade to give the visual effect of more hair at the sides, which makes my temple recession unnoticeable. For you, you wouldn't even need an elaborate haircut as the density and filling is beyond ideal; the only thing that would require practice is framing your hairline to better suit your face as the current overgrowth is, as you stated, resembling that of a werewolf.

Holy sh....

Better avoid you on a full moon! That's a compliment. Would definitely want that hair! I like the idea of min but apparently if you stop taking it, balding gets worse and speeds up. Spooky sht.
