Hey there, I'm going to be 27 in a couple of months, and it's a familiar story, I'm sure. I have really thick hair that I get complemented on a lot, my dad is plumb bald, and I hear the bit about your mother's side of the family is an old wives' tale -- that it really has to do with both mom and dad.
Regardless, here's the deal. If I told you I was losing my hair you'd say I was crazy, but I have noticed an overall thinning, not just a receding hairline, and a good view of the veins by my temple, but when I run my hands through my hair in the mirror, you can clearly see all the gaps between the hairs...basically, it's starting now, and I really want to stem the tide.
So here's the question -- I know that on Propecia's site that specifically say that it's only good for the vertex (the bald spot area) and the anterior area (the middle/top, so to speak?), and not for the temples, front of the head/hairline itself.
Thing is, I was wondering, if I start within the next year, will it help at all in keeping some of this hair in the front area? I'm certainly not asking to grow new hair there, as if they say it doesn't, it obviously doesn't -- they'd love to say it does even if it regrew in 1% of guys...but I'm holding out some hope that if I start now, I'll be maintain most of what I have.
Thanks, and you can email me directly if it's easier.
