Wait 12-18 months on finasteride before anything else.

Remember, finasteride is unlikely to regrow hair alone. It is the combination of minoxidil and finasteride that usually works best.

Wow, You are amazing. Really, what a knowledge . Are you from the future ? Finasteride is available since 1992 , and as propecia since 1997 . Minoxidil since early 80s . Dude, really , Do you really think that there was none more studies done since that time ? A quarter of a century passed ! Welcome to 2021 .

It's good that your parents want to pay for a transplant. But they should be aware you will probably need one every 2 years in your case since you're balding aggressively at a young age. Maybe if you're lucky you will only need one every 5 years but I doubt it... If they're okay with the fact you will have to have multiple transplants in the future then go for it. Also understand the density of your hair will never be on the same level as in your younger years, a good transplant result will depend on your donor hair. If they're aware of the risks then go for it.

But I'm afraid you will have to go the hair system route sooner or later anyway.

Why you are talking about Hair transplant like there is unlimited supply of follicles ?! You clearly have no idea, but no idea at all of what you are talking about and you are advising a young guy with aggressive hair loss ?

You guys give me some hope, it's the only thing that keeps me going, thinking that the future will be better.


If not for you too, is there a strong correlation between loneliness and losing that hair?
I know that tomorrow I will have to get up, go to study and feel bad seeing all these people laughing among themselves while I face the eyes of others with insecurity and anxiety?

I got to a point where when someone talks to me face to face I am uncomfortable because they all throw glances at my head ...

lol my young adult life was ruined by this sh*t

I thought the same in 1996-1998, hair cloning is close.
Just read paper, on pubmed, find what it is the best of what you have ( believe, tons of more things than just minoxidil or finasteride ) and do the best treatment you can do without side effects. If you have hair but low libido, shitty orgasm, etc, hair will be useless.

It all depends on how you respond to it really. The mechanism is not fully understood to this day, but I have seen stories and know someone who has basically maintained for 15+ years

Did the person maintain so long with topical or tablet minoxidil?

Learn to read. I said donor hair is the crucial point. And I don't advise him to get transplants but get a hair system.

Also the "just shave it bro" advice is completely ignorant of how our society is these days. You're 42, looks matter more than ever for a (young) man sadly, so that advice won't help him at 19 when all his peers have hair. Anyway, this discussion has been done to death already. OP knows his options.

I agree. I don't like " just shave it bro"

It can be hard to find a job for a young bald man

Do not really waste your time with minoxidil without finasteride. You will be elated at your initial gains, only to see them fade over time without an anti-androgen.

while I would encourage using minoxidil in any case, I have to agree with this. Over time without an anti androgen the results will slowly diminish. This was shown in the actual studies done on minoxidil so it’s not even conjecture.

However everyone is different so you never know, I would start minoxidil immediately in any case, and if a doctor approves it, finasteride

For Doctors Male Hair Loss = male pattern baldness

You tried minoxidil + needling?

edit: If you already tried this then I doubt anything besides the "tranny regimen" will save you, but if you value your manlihood and general health I don't advise to go that route...

Your only option left in that case is a hair system and they look great these days, more young guys wear them these days too. You'll have to get over the social stigma (and I have the feeling a hair system is getting more socially accepted...) but that's it.

This guy literally went from 3/10 to 7/10 tbh. Crazy, the difference that having hair makes

Man would ya not try Ora minoxidil and topical dutasteride very effective and keep taking oral finasteride Also try shaving the head would look way better than what u have now. Honestly just give it a go and if you don’t like it just grow it back. Think about you feel sh*t about you hair now, so u might as well get rid of it and see how u feel. I’d defo wait till your like 22 then get a transplant in Turkey. I myself would never wear a wig f*** that but everyone to their own.
