The sooner you find a protocol that works for you, the better. Only an idiot would wait for Norwood 3 to take action. If I could go back in time, I would have started HRT before the first miniaturization began. Starting before you start going bald is the only way to maintain perfect hair. But now I have to maintain fine, see-through scalp hair, and even HRT can't reverse the miniaturization. But when I started Finasteride and Bicalutamide on Norwood 0, they told me that I was crazy, that I had body dysmorphic disorder and other bullshit. In fact, I just realized that if I didn’t find a treatment now, in a year there would be nothing to support.
