This is finnish politician Touko Aalto (born in 1984) in 2015:

And here in 2017:

https://images.cdn.yle.fi/image/upload//w_1198,h_674,f_auto,fl_lossy,q_auto/13-3-9578859.jpg

The dude had more hair in 2015 than I had in 2010, and now he has even less than me.

And oh yeah, I have been balding since like 2004-2005 (I was 21-22) 'cause it was very noticeable in early 2006. I guess I should feel lucky because I'm still not fully bald, but somehow I don't feel lucky :D.

His face in the second pic says it all. A broken man

A broken man, all due to his hairloss, that's the only exlanation. *sad piano music* :D

As for the pace, just you wait until you see me 2 years without finasteride. That will be f*****g brutal.

Friend of mine started balding at 15 like me but did nothing, he was NW7 before reaching 18, most agressive i've seen so far

maybe in the first pic he did have diffuse loss but he combed it over so it looked a lot better than it was.

on the other hand some people do go bald that quick. i knew a guy who at 16 had a full head of hair. at 18 he was slick Norwood 6.

i just googled this guy and it seems like he has been losing hair for well over a decade.

Here's a pic from 2008 (aged 24), already receeded: https://static-sls.smf.aws.sanomacl...yg_images/touko-kuntavaalit.jpg?itok=l1Rx8oep

2011: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipe...lto_cropped.jpg/540px-Touko_Aalto_cropped.jpg


in the 2015 pic he has a very clever combover which made it look a lot better than it is (i think he was already around Norwood 4 at that time), but eventually there comes a point where even the best combover can't rescue it anymore

Yeah that first pic is definitely a combover plus the angle makes it less obvious.

Take it from a combover artist.

Well i started minoxidil until i reached a reasonable age to start those shitty antiandrogens, at 15 Keto and minoxidil is your only move, i don't say anything discriminating dude, it was his choice and we discussed about it back in the day.

Keep it mind it was in 2004 too, and i was already lurking here...

14 years of finasteride, now 32, went from NW2 to NW3 in those years, so i guess that a success story in a way, maintenance and slow af hairline recession, crown is fine, but good ol' schlong is dying lately, i need an alternative asap.

Fact is i've always despise antiandrogens but i'm trapped with it, my father was fully bald before 22 and he started balding at 15 too, so i pretty much know my fate if i drop it

f*****g sucks balding that early in life. You don't even get to experiment with the combover stage, you go straight to assfluff diffuse

I had no problems in the front until just recently. And now it's really bad. 3 months took me from "I'll just wear a hat" to "Ok, it's time to shave the head." 3 little months.
