Will finasteride do anything for me or is this just my hair? Pics spanning 13 years.

Firstly, sorry for the influx of images. They also might be out of order as I’m doing this on mobile.

Anyway, I’m not on meds. I’ve been monitoring my hair since I was 19, I’m 32 now. Still have a full head, but certain things bug me and make me wonder whether it’s hair loss or if it’s just the way my hair is in terms of texture.

I’ve pulled out a handful of pics from over the years. The area near my crown bothers me as it looks thinner, but appears to have been like this for at least 6 years. Also in certain lights my hair can look thinner and just not good quality - note the picture from 2009 you can see right through to my scalp in direct light, this is the same now in certain lighting, and if my hair is wet then it’s more obvious - but I don’t know if it’s just my hair colour / texture. I need to wear hair products all the time as it sticks up, and one flattened down my hair looks a lot better.

Anyway, since I’m not sure if I have hair loss, I don’t know either to take finasteride. My concern is, if I take it, could it kickstart something, or cause issues with my swimmers.

Would appreciate advice. Family members say my hair is exactly the same as it always has been so unsure if I’m just finding fault.

Or would finasteride help me?

Nah u just have alot of sex with men. Go easy on that because you Spike your male hormones too much. Yes men are that HOT that we dont have any self control, but avoid contact with men overall and you Will see an improvement in your hair thickness.

I have a similar issue. You just have fine low density hair (like me) and it can make your cowlick look worse like its thinning. I cut my hair short and it looked like I was balding hard in the crown region but went to a derm and they confirmed I wasn't balding there.

It clearly isn't male pattern baldness if it hasn't changed over that long of a period of time in my opinion, as well, since it pretty much always gets worse with this type of stuff

For you, since you also have blonde/light hair it shows up even more and looks thinner (thankfully in my case my hair is very dark so it gives the illusion its thicker, but I have the same hair type). But it looks like you have very low natural density just like me which is annoying but it is what it is.
