Hey guys, I'm turning 30 soon and have been worrying about my hairline.
I would TREMENDOUSLY appreciate your guys' expert advice
Please take the time to read it and answer that would very helpful.
It started when I noticed a lot of my friends started to show receding hairlines, thinning...even some with cueballs at 25!
So when checking my hair, I noticed that one side (right) was a bit higher than the other side, so starting researching on the net. I had never paid attention to my hair until just recently. Well, my hairline has a strong widows peak naturally and the right side is about an 3/4 inch above the last wrinkle and the left side is about 1/2 inch above the last wrinkle.
Ok, so I've been researching and I don't want to start Propecia because I'm not sure I'm actually in the process of male pattern baldness...nobody has ever mentioned anything to me about it. But I have eyes, and clearly, my hairline isn't what it used to be 5-10 years ago.
I am worried about side effects and DO NOT want to shed hair if I don't have to. What do you think about Propecia?
I would say I am a Norwood 1.5, BTW, and both sides of the family some have all hair and some are cueballs. Dad is a cueball but his brothers have full hair at 50. Mothers side are all NW2-3s at 55-60.
So, finally : ABOUT MINOXIDIL
If I want to keep my hairline from pushing back (if it will), would Minoxidil be a good option?
I do not want to apply on the hair itself, just the hairless areas between the juveline line and my current hairline, will this be a good idea?
Minoxidil will only affect the areas where it is applied correct?
Finally, would you advise me to consider propecia, eventhough I am not sure i'm in the process of male pattern baldness?
Remember I do not want to shed any hair...THANKS A LOT GUYS. VERY MUCH APPRECIATED.
