Hey, been obsessing about my hair for the last 6 months or so. Wanted to verify here. First pics are current state when hair is dry.
When styled differently sometimes can see scalp.
Last pick is 2 years ago when hair was buzzed.
Thanks

To me that looks like a normal double-whorl crown. Hairline looks pretty solid too. What concerns me actually are around your ears. Is that retrograde alopecia or just a bad haircut?

Honestly never notices the hair around the ears.
Its cut shorter there by the barber aswell. I added photos so u can see.
Dont you think temples are growing? And crown is thin?
And how is it compares to two years ago?

You have a solid hairline and normal double cowlick. I wouldn't worry and just check back in 6 months.

Seems like you only have mild retrograde to me
Does it actually look normal to you. Seems like hairline is receeding bad

It is thinning I’m sure but still thick enough not to attract unwanted attention from the untrained eye. I mean you posted on here so you must’ve had an inkling that something had changed up there.
Density had dropped cause im shedding badly but i am mainly asking because of my temples
. I feel thwy are getting more far back and into the middle of my head on both sides

Just take finasteride and stfu coomer
My regimen is finally complete wont change it anymore. Lowered my oral minoxidill dose and raised my dutasteride dose. Im losing 4 hairs in shower just by adding ketoconazole shampoo daily. Works better than topical dutasteride in my experience. So no more topical dutasteride for me just oral. Infact no more topicals period.

Glad things are working out for you bro. The only topical I use now is bica once or twice a week. Scalp feels a lot better not dealing with topical minoxidil or RU twice daily.

I would probably try this bica topically but impossible for me to get my hands on it but ketoconazole has reduced shedding a sh*t load so I guess its all good atm.
