well, hair(mostly the front and temples) have been thinning since id say 4-5 years. im 21 now, on a regimen as well. mostly the big 3. what norwood do you guys suppose i am? i have as you can see temple recession. my hair is very thick back sides top. only the front and temples feel and are thin. the regimen seems to be working i do see new regrowth; the price was thinner hair where i applied the foam. hopefully things get better. anything else you guys recommend to thicken the front up gratefully appreciate it. and ofcourse your opinions on the state of my hair :dunno:

Re: whitemogs story
yea i thought it was worse oh well much better then. i do have alot of vellus hairs on my temples, light and dark. mostly light though, ive only been on finasteride like 5 months and skipped one so i guess its 4 months! btw i think finasteride has definately thinned my hair, that or either rogaine but the front after 1 day and a half of not washing looks thin pisses me off :freaked2:

Re: whitemogs story
I'm guessing that Rogaine caused the thinning - it's well known to cause an initial shedding phase, often pretty horrendous! finasteride, on the other hand should noticeably reduce daily hair loss within 3 months, although some guys do report a shedding phase. You need to use the drug consistently to get the best results. Remember, it has a short half-life (6-8 hrs) and DHT levels start to bounce back a few days after a single dose.

Re: whitemogs story
my hair looks a lot like yours. a year ago, i thought in my midn i couldnt be havin hair loss
a few months down the line, those vellus hair regions on th etemple and front started to die and it started lookin really bad
thankfully the propecia has saved it
so i dont think it's wrong to be concerned at your stage..but rest assured your hair looks great!

Re: whitemogs story
you can go to a derm and find out if its male pattern baldness if you are concerned.

Re: whitemogs story
Thanks for all the positive feedback. It may be a mature hairline, although my brother is a Norwood 3.5 and all my brothers have recession. My uncle from moms side is bald and so is my moms dad. I do feel that its getting deeper the temples and towards the fringe, nonetheless I'm on min and finasteride. I do see regrowth small but its there. And to ps1freak thanks for the compliment goodluck with your regimen

Re: whitemogs story
thats strong evidence that you might have male pattern baldness. You can always find out the truth by vising a derm.
