You have to get an exception from the NCAA because it can be used to mask doping, not worth the hassle since I may or may not be thinning. I will look into the topicals you just mentioned if it has the same breakage problems in 6 months or so. I can easily pull of the bald look and my hair looks...

Sport will prevent me from taking anything for at least another year(forbidden for doping purposes). My dad and his dad were both norwood 5 at least, my moms dad had perfect hair. I will probably just jump on treatments within couple years without having someone extensively look at it as the...

Thanks didn't know that, is this like a norwood 2 or 3? I think I will grow it out again and keep an eye on it. If I can get it to grow out healthy on top I won't worry near as much. The longer parts on top still have split ends/breakage from when it was long.

What I'm wondering is if theirs such a thing as it thinning slightly all over top. If it recedes a bit more it isn't a big deal. It's weird because the dimensions line up to the norwood 2 on the chart but I receded in the area above my sideburns as well so it's easier to see. What sucks is if I...

- - - Updated - - - I thought I did when it was long. I've been what I think is a norwood 2 ish since I was 17, I'm 21 now. It may have gotten a bit more pronounced but bit of recession doesn't bother me. I thought it was thinning all over top.

Decided to cut off all my long hair because the breakage on the top ruined it. How bad is my hair?

After looking I do notice a change from 16 to 18 but since then not so sure. From what I've seen and heard it's perfectly possibly it could stay like this for years. What I did notice with even more recent pictures is that the first 6 months I grew out my hair it only grew out on top and I had...

Ehh it's already looking better since I stopped wearing the helmet and washing it less, also as my hairdresser noticed that frontal thinning is right where the front of my helmet presses down. And if that turns out to be the case I'm shaving this at 22 anyhow. I went back and checked more...

Thanks, if if find out in next couple months it is thinning i'm shaving it off like i said within couple of years so might decline treatment. I'm far less concerned now cause i have pictures of my buzzed head from high school and have temporal recessions to about the level of the sideburns, and...

I was under the impression that long hair made thinning way more obvious, anyhow I'm going to a derm in a couple of months. Another site said I had "aggressive male pattern baldness" but I also was dumb and took pictures under a really bright light with the flash also on.

21 year old football player with very fine,curly/wavy,greasy hair. I wear a football helmet all the time so lots of breakage on top and in front where the helmet rests probably aggravated by my poor washing habits(twice a day at times used way way too much shampoo) which dried it out into what...
