Something like 40% of guys start noticeably thinning in/by their 30's, but thinning usually begins before then.
Just don't be one of the suckers that doesn't do anything about it.
Also Korea and Japan are probably within single digit years of a permanent fix.

Hope they hurry up and that a normal human bean can afford it. Doing Fin for almost a year now. Stopped using minox because it gave me weird spots around the eyes even though there was no way for it to even get to the eyes, read about that from multiple people though.

[Anonymous No.12965628]

>>12965607
I think it might be possible for minox to transfer to other parts of your body through your bloodstream, no idea though because I never really looked into minox since the idea of rubbing shit in my hair everyday didn't appeal to me.
Also minox is really only a bandaid, doesn't actually do anything when it comes to keeping your hair long term.

Yeah it made me look like shit. I mostly recovered I guess. I just heard while it's worthless by itself, it is helpful if you are already using fin. Not sure if it did anything. I did get really tiny hairs at the temples but they were colorless and just kinda there, not noticable unless you paid really close attention.
Also my eyebrows got thicker lel. That was unintentional but not really unwelcomed. It stayed that way even a year after dropping minox.

i was on it for 4 months and it made me look awful. sunken in cheeks and wrinkles it made hair grow on my shoulders and made my head hair fall out alot. i recovered after stopping but the shoulder hair stayed and now i wax it off. i felt like i was being slowly poisoned while taking it. now i just take a generic finastride which for me works fine by itself. thinking of adding dutasteride twice a week.

Why do you want to randomly add in 2 doses of duta per week? If you take duta any fina you take will technically be wasted because it wont reduce DHT more than duta will.

Receeding hairline pretty badly.

Been to a doctor but she wasn't there and the substitute wouldn't perscribe me fin.

I'm only 22 as well.

I hope I
1. get the fucking pills on friday
2. dont go full on aggressive balding
3. have no retarded side effects (mostly placebo so I'm chill)
4. have regrowth

Huh
I thought you'd notice that bald spot in the middle area on both pics if they were taken at the same time.
Vertex looks pretty normal to me. Just because you started balding at the front it doesn't mean it has to start on top too. It's probably because you never looked at it that closely before.

I would not expect a miracle if you take fin, you can consider it a success if your hair stops falling out. Regrowth should be seen as a nice bonus extra when it happens.

Especially in the temples area it is rare for hair to grow back. Maybe also because it already starts before people ever care about hair loss and then they notice it someday when the hair is irredeemably ded. Or the hair loss there is just too aggressive, no idea.

Recently I’ve been noticing I’m losing like 20-40 hairs in the shower. Sometimes more depending how much I run my hands through my hair. I haven’t noticed this before but all these fucking bald threads are making me paranoid. I feel like I’m noticing hair loss now. Also have dandruff that won’t go away. Going to a derm tomorrow though so I’m sure he’ll have answers.

I stuck in some sort of hair limbo. My hairline has receded to NW2 and thinned overall quite a bit. What makes things worse is that my hair is dark brown and pin straight (like asian hair) so you can easily see my scalp in bright lighting. However, my dad has the same hairtype. He's in his late 50s and doesn't have bald spots, just pretty thin overall like me. Im not sure if I should try growing my hair out or keep buzzing it. Pic related is very close to my hair, except Im at NW2 lol.

Fucking idiot.
No legitimate transplant surgeon will do a transplant without you being on fin and having been on it for at least a year.
You don't take estrogen pills either, and there isn't a single food that would do shit for MPB. You need actual chemical inhibitors.

>>12967354
>>12967358
Crown and hairline don't look bad. Could just be maturation but go to a derm to check if you'r e concerned.

>>12967370
That 10% is for people with really aggressive MPB. The regrowth happens for people that have it not all that bad, i.e. those who are slowly thinning throughout their 20's/30's (it's into the later half of 30's usually that the hairloss becomes "noticable").

>>12967413
People's hair tends to thin and hairline recede as a part of maturation. Lots of paranoid 18 year olds get spooked when they see their hair maturing. Unless you see more notable recession or your crown becomes thinner (hard to tell on asian hair I know) then it's probably ok.

On Fin for 2 and a half years, ever since I noticed it started

I buzz my hair anyway cause I have a bald spot at the back of my head that I'm really insecure about, can't even sit in front of anyone without worrying they'll notice it - unless my hair's buzzed

I'm hoping that with Finasteride and an eventual transplant (especially for my bald spot, idc as much about a huge forehead as about a hole on the back of my head), I'll be able to keep an at least okayish head of hair for the rest of my life

I'd be okay with hair like (from most to least prefered)

I also think my hairloss has worsened after it.

The way I would gauge it is I would go to my bed and lightly scratch my scalp and brush my hair with my fingers for 30 seconds. After that I would always notice about 10 hairs on the bed covers. Also if I pinch some strands of hair on the top of my hair and pull I would see a hair come out about 20% of the time.

Is this any productive? I'm a total fucking hypochondriac and I feel like I'm just freaking myself out maybe.

I don't brush my hair to remove and dead hairs though.

as everybody said, it's literally impossible taking finasteride once did that to your body, especially the same night you took it since it doesn't work on your hormones that fast.

my guess is it was a nocebo effect at the moment, which eventually blended in with your unfortunate genetic destiny of having ED issues, which it's something you probably have not considered. A shitload of men have it, regardless of any drugs or lifestyle they have.

[Anonymous No.12969737]

>>12969733

You should never have taken Fin, not because it actually has the effect you stated (not like that and not that fast) but because you were hella afraid of its side effects. The mind is a powerful thing. Especially when it comes to side effects that have an impact on a man's ability to get it up, most of the time that side effect kicks in because the man is so afraid of it happening that he can no longer get it up just because he is so worried about that.
A lot of people have been tested, the group of people that knew about that side effect had a high percentage of limpdicks.
The group of people that were left in the dark about that side effect didn't have problems.

And yeah it's also possible that you always had problems with your erections and kinda want to blame it on something that can't defend itself.

Okay, so I went out and faced my insecurities just to prove how much paranoid you are and how much you are fucking up your health with taking fin for no fucking reason.

Pic related is how my scalp currently looks normally styled and combed (pics 1 and 3). It's obviously thinned out and not how it supposed to be right? I noticed my temples started receding at about 22 and it got more and more noticeable since I was growing my hair out. I always had a tall forehead and it did not add anything nice into the mix of having blonde hair and a tall hairline. So I cut it short. Also notice the BALD spot (pic. 2). I've got it since birth and my hair does not grow on it. It looks and feels like burnt skin.

A year ago I got hit by life like a fucking truck and due to stress and a horrid lifestyle I started loosing my hair to the point of going practically buzz cut bald (pic 4). Picture is from this summer, since then I've started using minoxidil cause I could not handle having shitty hair.

I've been on and off minox for about 4 months now and noticed significant change in volume and reduced recession. Pic 5 and 6 is my current hair including that thinned out scalp post minox and still using it. (cont. in next post).

(cont.)

To sum up most of you guys will start seeing changes in your hair and some are not even at a legal age to claim so. Pic related are guys who are about 20-22 years old. You can tell obviously that they are experiencing symptoms of MPB. The only difference being that they don't whine about it on a mongolian dumpling kneading board.

This shit happens to EVERYONE to some extent. Fuck even women start loosing hair due to lifestyle changes, age, stress, genetics and other factors.

Of course it does not mean you should panic since many medications are being constantly discussed and even if their effectiveness is doubted to show any results it does not mean that your life will end because you're going bald.

Yes, it fucks with your psyche, yes you feel horrible when you see yourself in the mirror. Accept change, move on just like you approach fashion trends or whatever comes and goes. People age and some age sooner and some later. Being paranoid or obsessed with yourself just proves how mundane your daily life is because if you do shit you don't have time to obsess about your insecurities.

I don't know, I don't know what your hair has looked like at all different points in your life, though. You might have always had similar hair. It doesn't look especially (i.e. balding tier) thin, though.
That said, some thinning and hairline recession is common and even expected with maturation somewhere from the start of puberty until 30 without actual balding which also addresses
>I noticed my temples started receding at about 22

>A year ago I got hit by life like a fucking truck and due to stress and a horrid lifestyle I started loosing my hair to the point of going practically buzz cut bald
While stress can cause hair-loss for a number of reasons, it will not cause a speed up of the progression of MPB, and it most likely will not cause permanent hair-loss (most hairloss that occurs in women is stress-related or allergy related and recovers over time).

>I've been on and off minox for about 4 months now and noticed significant change in volume and reduced recession.
Couple points about minox. Minoxidil is a vasodilator, which results in it increasing hair growth in the area it is applied. This is useful when combined with finasteride in order to speed up the regrowth of hair. However - minoxidil only works as long as you continue to consistently use it. Further, minox does NOTHING to prevent the progression of MPB. It is nothing but a bandaid. The hair you're applying it to is still being affected by the hormone which results in baldness.

>>12970084
I agree with you here up until you tell people that they should just accept it. If you can do something about it why wouldn't you?
It's not like you have to constantly stress once you've started trying to treat yourself. So you decide to take fin. One pill in the morning added to your routine. Heck, just drop it in your vitamins.
Hair is an important part of people's identity, I think it's fair that people should try and keep it.

>taking fin for no fucking reason
Yeah, no. Hairline's receding at the front too, not to mention all the hair I used to find in the shower drain

It's particularly easy to tell I am definitely balding when my buzz cut's grown out a bit, not short enough to just be head stubble but not long enough to give the appearance of fullness

The hair on the side of my head looks really thick then (horseshoe) but at the top, thin as fuck

[Anonymous No.12970133]

>>12970130
You've actually cucked yourself this hard into not being happy.
Also finding "large amounts of shed hair" isn't a sign of MPB. In fact, doctors in the UK specifically won't prescribe you fin if you describe this as a symptom, because then the hairloss is either related to something else or you're not actually losing hair and you're just paranoid because you noticed a lot of hair in the drain. MPB doesn't make you shed a load of hair, it's progressive and happens through slow miniaturization of the follicles ("slow" being relative depending on how aggressive it is).

Link for that

Also, you didn't address the second part of my post at all, the typical baldie horeshoe hair shape is clearly visible from the thinness on top and the thickness on the sides

Plus, my temples are clearly receding as well, the part where you usually lose your hair first

Ridiculous that you want to convince me I'm not balding, but you're wrong

[Anonymous No.12970154]

>>12970108
I am aware of the short term effects of minox and read quite enough. I really don't wanna have my dick not working with taking fin. I might just be under placebo too. I've been quite observant of myself and my hair's become significantly better on minox than it was without. I'm glad it does not look "balding" balding but on the side note it must have really come with maturing.

>I agree with you here up until you tell people that they should just accept it.

I might have come off as a hypocrite since I'm myself using something to prevent my hair loss. I completely agree that adding a medication to prevent/delay something is a good thing to do. It's just that this acceptance comes gradually while using said methods at least that's how I see myself going through it.

>>12970135
It's common for actors to get treatment or transplants but I completely agree that quite some men do keep their hair until their 80-ies

>>12970130
I apologise for being a dick but to be honest judging by what you've posted it's really obvious to the majority that your hair is completely fine. I'm not here to convince you otherwise, just wanted to provide an example of how other people go through similar things.

[Anonymous No.12970173]

>>12970153
I'm not trying to argue that you haven't thinned, most guys do. I'm not trying to say that the fin hasn't done anything to prevent hair loss either, since I can't really know. So I'm not saying come off fin either (honestly, if I'd known what I do know I would have been on it before I even had noticeable thinning/maturation.)
But again, some thinning and recession at the temples happens with about 95% of guys between a certain age range. In fact, up to NW2 is not considered MPB.
What i'm trying to convince you is that even with thinning you're nowhere near the buzzcut stage yet. You have completely normal looking hair in your pictures. No one would pay attention to the "thinner" bit where your whorl is/hair grows from, just as you don't pay attention to everyone else's.

Well ok, fair enough Fin isn't going to be enough to keep a full head of hair into your 70's, there is a lot of anecdotal evidence that it loses effectiveness for some people up to various ages and they start falling below baseline (I think probably to do with increased sensitivity to DHT in the follicles). But if you can extend yourself to having a NW1/NW2 into your 40's where your would have otherwise gone into a NW3/4 I don't see why you wouldn't.

[Anonymous No.12970195]

>>12970184
>loses effectiveness
That's the thing I'm wondering about, how Fin losing effectiveness works - because I can't imagine you just rapidly go from Norwood, say, 2, to 7 after being on Fin for a few years despite still taking it, i. e. going from slowed down hairloss abruptly back to regulatr speed hairloss

I think "stopped working" is more subjective here and you could still reap benefits from Fin after 30 years of use

[Anonymous No.12970198]

>>12970176
Probably partially lighting since your whorl(where you were complaining about earlier) doesn't look at all the same as the rest of the picture. You need to grow your hair out properly and get a cut so that you don't have the normally thicker hair overhwelm the rest of your hair (this is why undercuts are popular).

Whatever, I'm about done with this.

[Anonymous No.12970210]

>>12970195
I'm not convinced that it suddenly stops working exactly, but like I said I think it's totally conceivable that as follicles become weaker as you age they gradually succumb to the little amount of type 2 that fin doesn't take care of.

I'm pretty overwhelmed at how much has grown out at only two months. It's still thin, and of course not every graft has grown out yet but if i buzzed it I think it would look quite normal.
