It’s a hard decision but know the stats are on your side that most finasteride users at least maintain their hair.
What makes me a 1.5 exactly ? I keep imagining I look like at least NW3 for some reason and I freak out.

Your hair at the temples doesn’t extend too far back. Maybe an inch and a half at most. Plus your forelock is still wide. Once that starts getting smaller is when I consider it a 3

Ok that makes more sense, so I should look for the forelock area for narrowing then, my temporal area doesn’t move much I noticed. Selb, would you mind if you looked back to my earlier pics to verify if you can compare any notable changes? I feel like I’m thinning more density wise but I feel like I’m overthinking it.

Your only density change I can tell is on the temple areas, but that’s where recession happens. I don’t see any yet on the forelock or the top of the head. But if you feel it, it may be happening. We know our hair the best after all. If it’s harder for you to style in a certain way and it feels like you feel the wind more in your hair, overall density might be going down

Forgot to show you guys these wet hair pics, does this look normal crown wise? ... and yes I will update back in a month. Sorry for being annoying, losing hair isn’t fun.

Looks normal to me. You have white scalp skin plus dark hair. You’ll see more skin that you think when the hair is wet

Should I also cut my hair short now that I’m finasteride, would that help in any way? Idk if I will get a massive shed from it, I hope not

Ok, Thanks for your input as always!!! Also, since I am now on finasteride should I cut my hair shorter? I'm not sure if having my hair this long will make it hard to see any gains or cause shedding? Better to have it shorter while on an AA?

You can opt for a buzz cut if you want to see true progress

Is it normal for finasteride to thin out the hairline? What Norwood does this look like? Please help! First 3 pics are today, 4th pic is from November
