Receding Hairline *widows Peak* At Temples. Looking For Solutions

[ImReady]

So, I have finally come to the conclusion that I am receding at the temples and would say that I caught it in its early stages. Both temples seem to have receded about 2 to 2.5 cm forming a pointed widows peak when I pull back by hair. At this point I am not shedding and only noticing the temple hairs thinning.

MY HAIR

I am nineteen years old. I get my hair from my mothers side of the family which is mixed, meaning I have thick, curly, and dry hair.

FAMILY HISTORY

Father: My dad was a NW6-7, so was his dad and so forth. He started loosing his hair in his thirties and it began with thinning on the crown.

Mother: My mothers side of the family all have big foreheads and high temple points, both women and men (similar to me). However, some of them kept their straight hairline while some lost it at the temples.

QUESTIONS

I am pretty new to this so I have a few questions.

1. Is it possible to regrow my hair at the temple points since it's not that bad yet? I have seen success stories on this form of people who were able to fill in their temples and had worse recession than me with Minoxidil and Derma rollers.

2. I know that Vitamins don't necessarily regrow hair, but I was wondering if taking Biotin would help in thickening the hair near the temples.

3. What medication should I start taking?

4. If nothing works out to regrow my hair but I am able to maintain this current hairline, how much would a hair transplant be and at what age should a person get one.

Thanks for all your support!

Try finasteride and minoxidil . Finasteride will stop further loss and minoxidil MIGHT help regrow your hairline

Alright sounds good. I still have small hair where my temples have receded so as you said, hopefully they can grow thicker. Should I get generic of both?

If that's what you want to do bro sure. Generic is fine. Keep in mind that minoxidl makes your skin look and feel crap and if you come off you'll lose it all.

What are the skin side effects? Pimples?

I use 1ml Liquid Minoxidil once a day for 3 years and my forehead still looks the same as before. and Minoxidil has regrown my hair line, as in it regrew the minituarized hairs. Finasteride has kept me from losing any more hair.

good bye temple hair they will die eventually no matter you take meds or not. for prolonging you balding duration, finasteride is all you need. but be mentally prepared for side effects

I've seen other success forms on here about regrowth in the temple areas. I was just wondering if it was very common or only rare occasions. I really want to see at least some regrowth to get some of my hairline back.

Also, is it true that Finasteride can permanently shrink your penis? And is there any major shedding while taking the drug.

Though the chances are just 2 out of 100, but it is real that it can cause permanent defect in your endocrine system. Also, yes, temples regrowth is rarest of the rare. but Propecia will definitely help you to retain your hairline for some time.

Geez, I like my hair, but I like my penis even more. I'm not trying to reduce it. Is it quite often that people experience that side effect on finasteride? If so I might just do Minoxodil and Derma stamp
