What do you's make of my hairloss?

I feel this is an EXTREMELY exposing picture and could only possibly be worse if i made my hair wet.

But anyway it is what it is. I style my hair and it looks, id say, twice as thick as it does there, but no point hiding it for the purposes of on here is there? Note that the spot just after my fringe there isn't actually any gap but gaps can form if it sits like it does there because its got low density basically..



Obviously its diffuse but im starting to notice that my hairline seems to be "holding out" (still receding for sure) whereas the crown etc is slowly getting worse. I never had thick hair but at this point obviously its progessively diffusing but my hairline seems to be less advanced than the diffuse (despite, i would say, my hairline being my first sign of baldness and the crown etc diffusing afterwards...) Is this strange or not?...would the minoxidil maybe have helped this?


How would you describe this hair and do you think i stand a chance on the big three? Ive been using nizoral and minoxidil for over a year with limited results but started finasteride there a month ago and im shedding (evident from this pic from my pov)


Im only 23, am i fooked?

You need finasteride its by far the most effective treatment, but if it does'nt work things dont look good. I'm guessing that pics with a strong flash but it does'nt look good for 23.

Not really what i wanted to hear but realistic i guess

Yes strong flash, normal lighting would suggest stronger density and when styled i can make it look almost normal. However, clearly the writing is on the wall flash or no flash.

I'd be perfectly happy (obviously) to maintain what i have

Strange example but i feel Wayne Rooney's hair resembles mine somewhat but with him a three or four years ahead of me but he's shaved his now so that's not an exciting comparision. OBviously im trying to use treatments tho so im hopeful i can sport a decent hairline atleast until im 30


As bad as it sounds i take heart seeing alot of people my age with worse hair but i guess thats a bad way to guage things i guess lol

Start with Finasteride and give it a few months . You will likely respond very well with Finasteride as many diffuse thinners do. If you really feel its getting worse then add minoxidil or Proxiphen N along the way. Goodluck!

You need to give it more than a few months. More like a year. As far as hairloss goes nothing happens that quick its a very slow process.
