What do you mean?

>>39245808
This is truly the only option.

My >haircut lady told me something similar as you op. It didn't work, and rogaine makes you a slave to it. Not worth it. And make sure to get short haircuts. Not buzz cuts that shows exactly r hairline but short so you can use wax or something and make it look naturally thicker.

>>39245781
Op here, I thought it always looked like this but she thinks it's worse from 2 months ago. I am super down right now

Fuck off man,i'm 21,beat me.

>>39246593

Your hair looks like mine did at 21. I still have 95% of what you have at 42 thanks to propecia and rogaine.

>>39246609
But now youre a slave to both of those things. It isnt worth the time and money. Also, 95% of what he has is fucking garbage.

>>39246615
it honestly blows my mind that there isn't a real cure to balding. the guy that invents it will become a literal trillionaire over night

>>39246609
Nah tried the lotion shit,made me have red itchy pimples in my head and my hair fall(I know that its supossed to grow back ),fuck it,I have already shaved my head for a year and it was ok.
>>39246615
True,my hair now fucking sucks,my parents tell me not to buzz cut/shave because they say it looks weird un young people,it was ok when I did it the first time but they got tired.

So thats the only problem desu,i dont mind getting bald

>>39246635
Youre 42, they think thats "young people"?

>>39246615

The time and money are irrelevant: 50$ a month and a doctor's appointment three times a year is beyond trivial. 95% of what he has is excellent as long as you know how to style it. It's definitely better than bald -- depending on your headshape, at least. Some guys rock the bald look well, I don't. My wife claims I go from an 8/10 to a 3/10 when I rock the buzzcut and she's a brutally honest woman.

>>39246635

Ok, so rogaine is a no go. Have you tried propecia? If you're fine going bald, don't bother, but some people do not rock the bald look well.

>>39246755

Start taking creatine it slows hairloss

Arent there vitamins you can take if youre worried about it?

>>39247292
don't do this it'll do the exact opposite
>>39246380
get a better haircut man, that shit looks awful. maybe you could grow out your beard and make it work with your receding hairline. which definitely isn't the worst i've seen of guys in their low 20's

>>39247492
Hey I appreciate the words. Im starting to think the lady just was saying my hairline looks like it is receding, but i think it has looked this way for years. I should probably not worry about it as much

finasteride + dutasteride covers 95% of DHT
(what causes hairloss)

Get on now before its too late, no one has ever wished they had waited longer to start, only that they had started sooner

>>39247527
Any more info on that stuff? Not OP but just curious. Isnt that stuff illegal to buy? And expensive

>>39247543
I'm on both, my doctor prescribed me both. Finasteride 5mg is super cheap. Without using insurance to cover it, I'm not even joking, its 10$ for a 4 month supply (get the 5mg version and cut into quarters because the 1mg version is inexplicably 10x as expensive). Dutasteride is $30/month without insurance (I couldn't get my insurance to cover either). Its tougher to get prescribed this, finasteride was slowing but not stopping my hair loss so my doctor put me on duta too

These substances both block certain types of DHT buildup. Keep in mind this only works for male pattern baldness, if your baldness is coming from stress or something else, this wont help. But it will stop male pattern baldness in its tracks. Its a lifelong comittment tho

>>39246593
ugh. this made me lose my appetite

>>39245781
>Complain that balding
>wont use rogaine cause youll be a slave

The fuck answers you expecting? To get blessed by a preist and have it all grow in? The only way your going to have hair again is if you use medicine. You just have to figure out if its worth it.

>>39247557
Isnt DHT what is responsible for dandruff too? Is dandruff and receding hairline common together?

2 options

1) buzz your head

2) get on the big 3

ketoconazole shampoo + minoxidil + finastride

This is me at my peak hairloss at 22.

Will post my results of me now at 24 after using the big 3.

OP join the military you'll fit right in

>>39247557

>>39247587
DHT is responsible for a lot of things, including a bad complexion. I'm not really sure if its related to dandruff sorry

>>39247601
honestly, look at the males in your family. I've known I was going to be bald from a young age, because all of my male relatives are. If you need help deciding, reference the norwood chart. Does your hair match a Norwood 2 when you pull it back? Looks like it to me. No harm in checking with a dermatologist tho

>>39247602
How did you grow hair back? I thought once it falls out itll never come back

>>39247619
I have bad acne maybe that would be 2 birds and 1 stone

>>39247619
It looks like the first picture from the side view on the norwoodchart, but not like the top view. The top view is still a straight line. Actually, its always just been the side for me. My dad had afull head of hair in his 70s, his hairline was sort of far back but he had that all his life. Same with grandparents

Then in your case I would say you are just developing what they call the "Adult hairline". Not actually balding. Male pattern baldness is completely hereditary as far as I know. I would focus more on stress reducers if you think your hairline is receding

>>39247642
This is completely anecdotal, but I used to have bad acne all the time and tried all these different types of acne treatments, and you know what finally cured it for me? Not even kidding you just a loofah in the shower. Now I scrub my skin nearly raw with a loofah but haven't had acne in years.

>>39247619
Would a derm know for sure if you are going to go bald or if you have mpb?

>>39247691
nah sorry, a dermatologist won't be able to determine with more accuracy than you can whether its male pattern baldness. Try googling "Adult hairline", its either you get to an "Adult hairline" and your hair stops receding, or it keeps going and you have MPB. Look to males in your family to see how their hair is doing

>>39247680
Is there a way to know forsure if its an adult hairline vs a receding hairline? If so, what kind of doctor would i need to go to? And I wonder if insurance would cover it

>>39247702
I would but they are all dead lol, I was trying to figure out forsure because if it turns out it is receding I would go on that stuff you mentioned up above. But I dont wanna bother with that if its just an adult hairline

>>39247715
as I mentioned above, I don't think a dermatologist will. My derm did not at least, she just asked me about the other males in my family. To get prescribed duta or fin, go to a dermatologist, I went and got prescribed finasteride first time, duta second time. I could NOT get insurance to cover it, because both medications are technically for prostrate issues, the fact it helps hair is just an added bonus really. As I mentioned, however, its $40 per month total to keep my hair without insurance help, which is worth it for me.

>>39247724
I would check for any thinning on the crown of your head. Basically, an adult hairline wont affect hair on the crown. The second you see thinning on the crown on your head, hop on the meds asap. I cannot stress enough how happy I was to get on while still a Norwood 2. I'll be the first male in my family to not go bald

>>39246674
When your 102 yeah

>>39246380
how could you not figure out youre balding without a haircut lady telling you

>>39247504
Take zinc daily, a one a day men's multi vitamin, and if you're 100% desperate try no fap for like 3-6 months. Also stay hydrated throughout the day man it seems to help my hair sometimes just look fresher. I sometimes forget to drink and I just ignore it but I've stopped that now

>>39247743
So the second I feel my crown is thinning out hop on that stuff? Is there a way to know its thin really? I dont know what thin hair feels like

>>39247625
Fin is pretty strong and it affects different people differently. some people just maintain. some people regrow.

>>39247783
>mens multi vitamin

When will this meme die? Youre literally paying for glorified piss.

>>39247785
Kinda of sucks, but the only way to really know is cut your hair really short once in a while. I didn't notice how bad my hair was really getting until I got a buzzcut and saw the back of my head in a mirror

>>39247625
Hair follicles still remain in your scalp a couple years after hair stops growing there. They can be kinda revived again, but if a couple years go by and nothing is done the hair follicles will die off and no more hair there. That op took early action

>>39247794
If you eat like shit and never go outside like a decent portion of people here, taking a multi will definitely give you vitamins you aren't getting. They aren't that expensive and last quite a while

>>39247820
any recomendations to which to take?

>>39247807
SO a few years after you notice youre balding, aslong as you get on meds before those 2 years are up the hair might be able to be revived? How can someone tell me this though? What kind of professional would know?

>>39247826
not this guy but dont fall for the GNC permium multi-vita
all multi-vitamins are nearly the same, get the cheapest one available on amazon

>>39247832
Hair loss is a tricky subject, because its different for everyone. Your dermatologist will be your best bet. That 2 year figure is also an extremely relative number, the best thing you can do is get on hair loss meds the second you start noticing male pattern baldness.

you could get hit by a bus tomorrow, just be happy that you have it today.

>>39247845
plan for the worst, hope for the best

the worst, of course, being I'm still alive tomorrow

>>39247832
A dermatologist.

What happens to the follicles is a process called miniaturization, ask the doctor to check for this on your scalp and ask about your options. And ask about fin.

Actually i can get a fin prescription from a nurse practitioner, and you can probably get it from your gp too.

>>39246615
The thing with this line of reasoning is that the little money you put into keeping your hair, probably affects how much money you can make. People who are taller make on average something like 700$ more per inch of height.

There are probably similar correlations in other aspects of aesthetics. Dont think of it as becoming a slave, you're maximizing your aesthetics and by correlation increasing the odds that you'll get paid more and get into positions of leadership and get people and ( i suppose girls) to like you.

Not to say that baldness makes life impossible, but it does seem that baldness puts you at a disadvantage.

I started having hair loss after taking creatine for a few weeks. Now that I stopped taking it will my hair stop falling?

>>39248280
If creatine is actually causing it then yes, stopping creatine will stop your hair loss. Stay hydrated

>>39245781

accept your mortality, buzz or shave it, grow a beard, this is the best method, it is known.

>>39248298
Ok, thanks.

>>39246380

atleast you're widow peaking, starting at the top is worse

after 3 months you accept your fate and stop caring. I don't even think it's the hair but the fact that for the first time you get visibly "older" and you get scared. accept it.

>>39246104
what/

>>39248280
>>39248298
I'm pretty certain creatine started my hairloss at 21 last year. I stopped taking it and it took MONTHS to grow decently. (still not quite 100% but not noticeable by anyone but me, really.)

>>39245781
>5-10 years before its all gone
How does she know that? The rate at which you lose it is different for all.

>>39248395
shes a haircut lady so she can probably guess

also 5-10 years is a big window

>>39248399
This guy says he kept his hair longer than he thought.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PS53QXptSjo

>>39248388
So it kept falling for months and then it grow back?

>>39248280
Did you notice beard growth as well? I did.

Creatine rises your DHT.

>>39248431
Yeah, it shed for 2-3 months even after stopping creatine then stopped. Stayed very thin for a while and then grew back really, really quickly. (like it did before.) It's been about a year since I stopped now, and I actually have a mohawk, which brings a lot of attention to the scalp so that gives you an idea of how decently it grew back.

>>39248441
I already had decent beard and I haven't noticed any change.

>>39248447
Thanks man, I was pretty depressed about this, I hope it happens the same to me. Did you take any vitamins or anything that you think it helped you get it back? have you kept lifting?

>>39247557

>>39248329
That isn't even the problem. The problem is a disadvantage of The future

>>39245781

Start buzzing it NOW so it isn't a big shock when it thins out more.

Appearance wise:

- facial hair looks great with a bald head/buzz cut

- there's moisturizers/lotions that also have sunscreen AND light tanning stuff in it, so you don't look like a chemo patient

- Get your bodyfat low and wear clothes that fit.

How does one know for sure if they are balding? Can your gp tell you if it's a mature hairline vs a receding one?

>>39250061
a mature hairline is just little MPB, just go to a doctor anyway

>>39249364
It's passed from your mother's father, not your father.

If you have a sister, her boys might become bald.

>>39246634
I believe there is. I have a friend who tried everything, from minox to whatever his doc gave him.

Now he's been taking some Chinese stuff for a while and his hair is coming back. Slowly, but it's coming back.

>>39250566
It's true, it comes from the X chromosones closest male relative. IE: grandfather, uncles etc.

>>39250733
which stuff?

Most men think that male pattern baldness progression is linear, it isn't. I made the mistake thinking I would go from a NW2, to a NW3 and then onwards to a NW4.

I was a thick NW3 for years until I under the span on one year of lost over 50% of my density, I was quickly heading to NW6 territory. Got on Fin and managed to regrow most of it, the front is still thinner than it was so I'm probably gonna have to transplant the shit in the future.

Moral of the story, if you're balding act NOW.

>>39250791
You wont really know if yer balding till you get to nw3

>>39250804
Depending on your forehead shape it might become obvious even at NW2. But for most men it's around NW3-ish.

>>39250566
I've read this somewhere so I confirm

>>39250823
Once someone starts getting nw3, thats when id recommend starting fin or so.

>>39250743
>tfw grandfather on mother's side had a full head of hair until he died

Lol, that's what my physician said to me when my hairline began receding at 19. Took me until 22 to find a doctor who'd prescribe me Fin. Most didn't really care or told me to deal with it. One doc actually told me that it was a good sign, because it indicated high testosterone levels. Just lol, the average doctor knows jack shit about male pattern baldness.

From what I understand, Fin is the best stuff to use. Downside is it can cause ED, loss of libido, and in some cases these side effects are permanent.

Does anybody know the percentage of men that have gotten ED from this? I'd choose a hard dick and good sex life over a full head of hair im in early stages of losing the hair at age 28, im trying to see if its worth it.

>>39246380

Well I currently have a girlfriend and the sex is phenomenal.
