Got it. Thanks. I guess I'll think about finasteride a bit more and just shave it for now. Right now light is my f*****g worst enemy.

Arsenal fan?
Nah randomly generated username lol

Also your scalp atm looks better then most men, it's only very slightly noticably thin. You still have a few years before you should consider finasteride, so in other words you have alot of time to think about it

I won’t say his hair is that bad right now but it’s thinning at the top and he should start treatments now instead of waiting for it to get worse. He’s 26, so it’s not aggressive and he won’t risk bad sides because he’s already mid 20s.

Lol was about to start sharing the pains of being an Arsenal fan.

And thanks for the heads up. My hair looks a bit different when it's combed to the side and it's a bit harder to see the thinning but I'm so bent up about it that I haven't stopped thinking about it.

Thanks for the reply. What would be a realistic goal for me rn in terms of regrowth?

Early male pattern baldness. Topical finasteride if you are afraid of oral. Actually, if I had to do it all over again, I would do topical if I were just starting with treatment. Topical was not really popular when I started. Many hair transplant doctors use topical treatments more now than a decade ago. @infamousrodi, your hair does not have this type of thinning even though the OP has more density and thicker hair than you.

No problem. Hope you’re doing well on the hair front
Thank you. Likewise dude. Hanging in there and seeing how sh*t turns out. Didn't really notice the extent of my hair loss until I shaved my head. I'd encourage everyone to shave their head in order to evaluate.

Hey guys,

Wanted to get some info if you guys don't mind sharing some insight. Wanted to post this link below because I made a post after my 3.5 mark on finasteride for 3.5 months. I've attached it below but basically I'm pretty concerned because my hair feels like its taken a big hit. I'm still finding hairs on my hands when I shake my hair and feel like my hair looks way worse than before. W/e insight you guys can provide I'd greatly appreciate it.
