Receding hair line- 24 year old + pics -- Need Help!

[losinghair]

Hello everyone!

I started losing hair some 2 years back. It was very minimal and so I did not bother about it.

Recently in the past 6 months it got worse and I have lost a lot of hair in the hair line. The strange part is that my hair is not thinning. (Its actually very thick), but it just goes down. Any specific reason as to why I am losing hair(even without thinning)? I am losing around 100 hairs per day.

Also, the density of hair around my hairlines has also decreased appreciably.

I have attached my pictures. Any suggestions as to what to start with? minoxidil or Propeica? Or is a lighter treatment recommended?

(I am a little apprehensive about propecia because of its side effects)

My situation is just like yours.
I would go right into finasteride, even if only 0.5mg that is almost as effective as 1mg. Its the only thing that will truly slow down your hairloss process and you can stop if it give you sides. Also consider nizoral shampoo twice a week.

Yeah definatly start something now... my hair line and hair was like that when I was about 18-19 but by 22-23 I noticed frontal baldness so consider yourself lucky

Am Norwood 2-3 and only just starting my regime by next week ! at the age of 30, I know left it too late but had issues in life.

I would recommend finasteride and perhaps a good nizoral shampoo and consider babyshampoo on the other days.

Thanks for the replies!

I am already using minoxidil on my hairline and today I ordered fincar from Inhousepharmacy.com and nizoral from drugstore.com

I am planning to cut the fincar tablets into 1/4ths or perhaps even smaller than that.

Today I noticed that I am also losing hair (and lots of it) from my crown. My dad does not have hair in the temples and also in the crown. So, looks like I am heading there as well.

But hope that finasteride will help me keep what ever hair I have got.

Had a haircut today. Now, it looks even worse. Perhaps a NW2 and receding.

Hope the big three would help me keep what ever I have! :dunno:

Will update my progress.
