I am 31. I start on finasteride 1.25 about 20 days ago (I know it takes much longer to see results) and just ordered nizoral today.

I first began noticing hairloss when I was about 24,but looking at old photos, it was probably at least somewhat noticeable at around 18. It's been a battle. I gave up years ago, but recently just started on a regimen again. I am determined to have a respectable head of hair back again. I worry about small things, like getting married and taking wedding photos with a noticeably thin head of hair. I'm the only one of my friends with this problem, which is embarrassing, and although they used to joke, it's recently stopped because they feel sorry for me, lol.

I just want to know how far I am, what pattern I have, and what other suggestions you guys might have for treatment. I have done tons of research, but I want to see if my pattern seems like a decent one to begin a minoxidil regiment.

Long story short, what Norwood am I? And what are my best options on top of finasteride 1.25 (which is only 9 bucks now at wal mart even without insurance) and Nizoral?

I also have terrible dandruff and a very itchy scalp, hopefully the Nizoral helps there. I've tried everything else and nothing has helped, and I've had that issue for about 8 years.

Thanks again. I've attached 4 pics of my current level of male pattern baldness.

It's just diffuse thinning, your hairline is still at its original place, even if it's thinner.
Well, keep on that finasteride and add minoxidil, i think you have high chances fot good improvement, good luck!
