Idk, to slow it down I guess.. I was a NW0 last year, this all happened so quickly

Is premature balding prevalant in your family? And drop the minoxidil, you are a very thick NW1, you have perfect hair.

Yes unfortunately on both sides. Father is probably a Norwood 6-7, as is uncle on mother's side. Also given the fact that my crown is starting to show very very early signs of thinning (according to my dermatologist), I figured might as well be proactive about it or at least hopefully delay it as I progress in my 20's.

Alright, but I still think that you will be good with just finasteride because you still have very good hair. So minoxidil will only be a inconvenience.

That it's not too early to start-- It's effectiveness won't fade away over time?

minoxidil is most effective in the beginning, with explosive regrowth, and you will normally lose your minoxidil gains over time if you are not on finasteride.

you have some good hair.

with Finasteride you should keep this hair for the rest of your life as long as you keep taking it.

your not diffusing so minoxidil is not needed for you

it also looks like your greying already in your early 20s. are you stressing a lot over your hair?

Normal people don't notice this level of hairloss. What they do notice is that your face doesn't look as handsome. Thats because of the recession and weak temple points framing your face worse than they would with a good hairline.

You're Somewhere between a 1.5 and 2 but your temple points seem weak which is bad. Add RU or CB and start microneedling weekly with a derminator.
Lol, terrible analysis and wrong advice aswell. Sorry mate, but he does not have weak temple points, and he is not between 1.5 and 2. Furthermore, he should not start ru or cb at all, if he wishes to prevent hairloss he should start finasteride. Finasteride is cheaper, easier to get, has a good safety profile and is a just a pill to take in.

You have no idea what the f*** you are talking about. According to his regimen he's already on finasteride you idiot. Dude is really young and already receding. That sh*t is only going to get worse in almost all cases. Being proactive is very important in hairloss.

Keep letting testosterone and other androgens kill your hair if you want, but finasteride won't help against those.

f*****g loser. Bet your hair looks like sh*t.
