Very thin hair. Is it male pattern baldness or something else?

[doubleindemnity]

Hi all. I have very thin hair and it seems to have been getting thinner over the past 2 years. Now, it looks thin and wispy from the front and I don't have enough coverage to even cover up the head with a comb-over. I'm pretty sure that I could cover it up with a comb-over one year ago. Anyway, the natural reaction would be to say that it is male pattern baldness. There certainly has been some male pattern baldness because the temples look like a NW2. A NW2 is basically a full head of hair to me and would be perfectly respectable at my age (24-25), except that mine is very thin. I don't have the Jude Law style of a line of hair through the middle. In fact, the middle is the thinnest part. I thought that it was female, not male, pattern baldness that is characterized by thinning through the center parting. I've attached my pictures. Please tell me what you think and see if my case would be helped by something else on top of the big 3 (e.g. some mineral). Note that my hair is very long in these pictures (must be up to 3 inches) and I'm planning on getting a 2 buzz cut soon, before possibly trying some of the big 3. I have already been using Nizoral for a week and I'm not completely sold on it yet.

You are diffuse thinning it what could be a NW7 pattern it could also be a in a NW6 pattern but the pictures aren't very clear.
Nizoral is something you use to reduce inflammation on your scalp and hopefully help with the dreaded itch of male pattern baldness.
Honestly think that you should get on all three components of the big three because some of the best results on this sight are diffuse thinners on the big three.
Your hairline as a diffuse thinner might be the same until you basically a NW7 as it will just get progressively thinner.

Yes, I think it's male pattern baldness.
