So I'm 21, and my hair thinning like crazy. I've lost the temples and i'm diffusely thinning throughout. It's at the point where I either hop on finasteride or shave it, as I'd rather be bald than appear balding. I'd post pictures if I still needed any kind of confirmation on that, but I'm past the point and know my place.
I've been using rogaine for a year and maybe its been able to slow it down but I'm well below baseline from where I started it. I threw nizoral into the mix and it always makes my hair appear thicker after using it but it seems to just be a temporary buff and deflates after a nights sleep.
Going against the general consensus here which seems to be pretty toxic, I'm okay with going bald eventually. I've got a sweet beard and have always been one confident m'fer. I am not okay with losing my sex drive however. 21 seems way too young to be hairless but if I had to choose hair or boners I'd roll with the latter.
The idea of using finasteride is pretty terrifying, as half the posts I see seem to be people struggling with the side effects. The scariest part is the group (although small) who says theirs were permanent. People who do use the medication, what made you make the decision to start?
Any success stories or advice??
