No way to know exactly, Family history can give you an idea.
Is my scalp thinning? Or just natural since hair is thinnish.

Is finasteride really worth it. Doctor can give finasteride and min oil but it could ruin my life, the side effects. I don't really care about the sexual dysfunction though
You could start low dose finasteride in that case

Will it be less than a year though? And father has thick hair at 60. But that obviously doesn't matter
sh*t this makes me sad. I don't want to be fully bad in a year shhhh...nah, you probably won’t lose all that hair in a year, but if it is male pattern baldness then you will continue to thin. How’s your hairline?
diffuse thinning can be caused by being vitamin deficient and thyroid issues etc.
Can you get blood work done to rule anything else out?
More often than not it’s straight up male pattern baldness.
When were the last lot of pictures taken?

Took all pictures today. Hairline pics are from my hairline a few days ago
If you took ALL pictures
In that case, your hair is fine, don’t panic.
I thought this picture was from some years ago compared to the others. The most recent pics look better, too, and hairline is fine. It’s probably just the lighting then.
In that case, your hair is fine, don’t panic.
Your hair is fine. And btw Finasteride doesn't necessarily cause permanent shedding. I take Finasteride and Minoxidil and you can see the results on my thread ( called "already Norwood 2 or 3?"). Your hair is FAR better then mine was when I started and even I recovered pretty decently. So your fine.
I second that. Finasteride never caused a long term shedding for me, during all these (15+) years. And you are still in the very early stages of diffuse thinning, if you are balding at all.
With or without finasteride, you won't be bald for many years to come, unless you suddenly notice dramatic shedding and/ or a swift decline in density.

Why can you not understand my speech? Dermatologists are retarded and the one who said your hair looks fine clearly is an example of that.
I can literally see your scalp and I shouldn't. The only false information is coming from the one you spending 100s of dollars on.
Why are you coping so much. Face reality and fix it. It's not even hard to recover that density.

See an endocrinologist and get tested for hormone levels. Dermatologists rarely do that. They just diagnose visually but even if you see a dermatologist, get tested so you can see what is going on.

It's hard to recover the density without going through a pill. It's my only option man. And the pill is awful

How can it be the light if my scalp is showing that much man? Sorry for the questions but I'm just os scared and have no money for transplant. Here is pic waking up.. But then here my hair is wet you can see scalp under direct light. Maybe it's because the hair is clumped together wet.

Well what about a trichologist
it's piss easy.
Did you not see the picture I sent of the guy who went through the camel protocal? He literally had a bald spot at the back of his head. The picture you LITERALLY saw. There's another guy who did the same protocal and literally complained that his hair was getting too thick.
sh*t genetics + DHT + diet + blood flow is the reason people lose their hair.
The difference between the protocal I recommend vs Minoxidil is that you keep your hair when u come off the regime and maintain with a healthy diet that involves no dairy and fake processed food like bread or pasta.
I don't know what people are gonna think that they are gonna eat mcdonalds everyday and think that their hairline will stay intact forever. Even the people with good genetics are gonna break down slightly if they're eating garbage for years.

I'm on a aip diet. It does not include dairy, or sugar...
break down exactly what u eat
even if ur on a healthy diet u still need topicals to push new hair to come out of ur scalp.

Isn't topical min fine though? From your best guess do you think I at least have a year before it gets bad.
