Hey there! This is how my hair looks like on top and sides. Scalp is covered but looks almost like sides. Overall thin and less volume but without receding hairline, yet.

I came to Germany 1.5 yr ago. And after 7-8 months i started noticing hairfall. But not much as now. My daily strands are now between 25-80 a day. The day i wash my hair not too many strands falls but after 2-3 days they can go upto 50 a day. Now my hair are mostly brittle and dry kind. I went to a derm he gave a straight male pattern baldness and suggested me Minoxidil and told me it’s life time to put on. Before hairfall i was dealing with acne(means already low confidence and now hairfall) I tried to use derma roller but have some one or two breakouts on my scalp too. So can’t use that too rn!

Is there anything that i can do like only micro needling and hope(because i don’t wanna be on some life time thing) or is it a complete Minoxidil and Finasteride territory? And am i on any norwood scale yet or not because i saw and that’s confusing.

Edit: After washing my hair i don’t see any major strands falling out for like max 2 days after that it’s a sweet mess starting.

Thats normal. Everyone sheds between 100-150 hairs per day. When the follicle comes loose the hair doesn’t always shed out because it is intertwined with the hair around it. The longer the hair, the more likely it sticks around. When it sticks around, you are more likely to notice it. Washing your hair is very effective at removing this hair, which is why you don’t see it as much after doing so. This is also why your shedding can seem much worse than it is when you space out your wash days.

As for your desire to not be on minoxidil/finasteride for the long haul...thats the only choice you have. Like any other treatment, they only work if you continue using them. You need to decide how much your hair means to you. Do that and you’ll have your answer as to what you should do.
