My hair's thinned rapidly over the last 6 months, should I start worrying? [19]

[Razragan]

Hi, I'm a 19 year old guy who's already accepted the fate of becoming a bald later in adulthood due to my shoddy genetic inheritance (father bald and most of his brothers too, maternal grandfather bald and mother's brother too). I don't want to become bald while I'm at university though so I'm hoping to hold it off for the next few years at least. Looking at my father's old pics, he probably started balding in his early 30s but I think I've picked up the trait much earlier.

Here are some pictures of my hair now, and a few pictures of me from last year for comparison (at tennis), just wanting comments really or whether I should start worrying now and hopping on regimens soon. Is my hair now more thin than thick? I've also noticed that even though I've not had a haircut at all recently, a month ago I could stick up my hair and sort of of spike it up/keep it upright, however now when I do the same it just falls back down. Any ideas?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Sorry if I offended you, it's not the balding I'm thinking about now, but more along the lines of whether my hair's thinned a lot recently.

If you have a family history of male pattern baldness, then it wouldn't hurt getting on a DHT blocker ASAP, just to be safe and keep your hair as it is. If I were you, knowing tat my father and siblings were balding, I would buy Finasteride as soon as possible.

Would you recommend me getting it now, when I'm getting feedback saying there isn't anything noticeable yet, or should I hold off until I see noticeable hair loss and balding patterns?

Definitely start now if you want to keep what you have. Otherwise you would have to add Minoxidil to regrow the loss hair. Temple hair is very difficult to regrow so if you still have good coverage there, then don't risk losing it. I'd suggest getting in finasteride asap.

Ha! you're making me and many other users jealous, brother. Looks fine to me, but wouldn't hurt to keep closer tabs on it.
