It’s been getting worse and worse over the past few months. Under certain light i can already see my scalp there  Did the hairs that were there fall or are they just extremely thinner?  I want to get on Minoxidil asap but im really afraid that the initial brutal shed people talk so much about, destroys my frontal hair line even more…  Now i get why they tell you to get on something asap…

The erosion of a thumb-print section of hair loss from the frontal hairline suggests early frontal balding may be starting. The best approach is to find a doctor who can do a HAIRCHECK ( https://baldingblog.com/haircheck-test-how-it-is-done-video/ ) test on you to see if there is balding anywhere on your head. You need a Master Plan for what may happen to you and a good doctor should work with you to form such a plan if your hair loss is worse at any time than you realize. Yo should recognize the importance of your problem, address it professionally so that you keep your hair on your head as you get older no matter what happens to your potential balding.

I’ve noticed some hair loss at the temples when I was about 17/18 and 3 years later it’s basically at the same level. Haven’t noticed thinning, hair at crown/on top is still fine. Is it possible for someone to lose a little bit of hair and for the balding to then stop for a (longer) period of time? Or will you always continue to lose hair, albeit it being at a slower rate? Cause if there is a chance my hair stays the way it is right now, I might be interested in a HT with +/-650 grafts to fix my hairline at the temples.

Bonus question: My hair at my temples was blonde, born that way. Rest of the head had brown hair. Is there any chance that that blonde hair might have been more easier affected by hair loss? Or just a coincidence?

Genetic balding is a progressive process that may stop when you achieve your inherited hair loss pattern but it can be reversed in younger men, sometimes for years but sooner or later a person with genetic balding will reach his final inherited pattern of balding.  The different hair colors have nothing to do with what is happening to you.

What about dutasteride? Going by that logic and considering its half life, shouldn’t we gap duasteridet dosage to like once a week or once every 4 days or something? Thanks.

I agree that with a 5 week half life for dutasteride, a once a week dose should work.

Very impressive early results. I particularly liked that you kept your hair comparable between the two photos and with good lighting

Yes, we have been doing beard transplant for many years. We use both scalp hair or sometimes, hair from under the chin or in the upper neck if the scalp hair is a distinctly different in hair caliber than your normal beard hair. Doctors must be attentive to specific nuances when doing a beard transplant to avoid skin problems that make the transplant detectable. Here are a few examples of beards we have transplanted: https://newhair.com/before-and-after/beard/#results

If I say on the minoxidil, will my body hair keep growing longer, like 10 cm? That is scary…

Body hair rarely grows that long because it undergoes telogen at about 6-8 months and falls out, only to regrow after. Telogen is the sleep phase and in all hair follicles go through it. These body hairs may stay in the sleep phase for up to 6 months before a new hair appears crating a new beginning of its new anagen hair cycling.
