Hey. I am a 20 years old guy and I am loosing my hair on my temples since I am 16. Right now there is the point where if I don’t go on medications I won’t ever do it because then my hair is too fucked up and it is already pretty bad. My urologist told me to not go on fin, he said it is not worth it and I should not fuck up my hormones. But lately hair loss is making me very depressed. How rare are the side effects to occur? And I don’t mean just ED. I mean brain fog and penile shrinking and stuff like that. It seems to be soo fucking retarded to repress DHT, a Hormone that is 5 times as strong as Testesterone. I mean if I hop an fin I would also hop on min, keto and dermarolling. Just to get a bit of regrowth. The thing is I already shaved my head bald 3 times and I instantly regretted it because people are me as an alien… what do u think ?

It is very difficult to tell where the hair transplant grafts were placed because at 2 months, hair goes into a ‘hybernation’ but will come out in the next few months. Then talk with me if you want to

This man had too many grafts removed from his donor area leaving him with a see-through donor area that clearly stands out with this hair length. He will have to either grow his hair long, or fill it in with Scalp Micropigmentation. This could have been avoided with careful planning, understanding the original donor density and limiting the number of FUE grafts harvested.  Trading a bald frontal area for a balding donor area is not a good deal

I have a good amount of hair, but I noticed my temples receded just a little bit. I’d consider myself maybe a NW 1.5. I went to a dermatologist last Friday and he agreed that my temples had receded and offered Finasteride. I agreed. Now that I have the medication in front of me, I’m having second thoughts. Am I really losing my hair or no? I wish I had a magic way of knowing if I am going to go bald or if my hair will never recede past this point. I’m afraid if I take Fin, it will create a problem. Like if I stop taking it, I will go bald. Even though I may not have if I never took it in the first place. My dad’s side of the family all have hair. My mom’s side is iffy. Grandfather on my mom’s side had hair before he passed. My grandmother on my mom’s side has some bald/balding brothers. My uncle on my mom’s side has hair but it has receded. Last few days people have been telling me “you don’t need fin, you have nice thick hair”. So I’m just conflicted on what to do.  

Before committing a lifetime on finasteride, get a HAIRCHECK test ( https://baldingblog.com/haircheck-test-how-it-is-done-video/ ) to get a metric on your balding process. You must know where you are starting and where you are going on the treatment plan.

So I can currently see some of my scalp and gave receding hairline at the temples.  Is it too early to try transplantation? I’m thinking Rogaine alone should be enough to get more volume in the scalp but it only seems like it will buy time until you need surgery I also heard that you can still do FUE transplants after FUT, but can’t do FUT once an FUE has been done

If your pattern is clear and you have a doctor who can build a Master Plan for your balding future, 25 is a minimum age to do a hair transplant as long as you know what is going to happen to you. A good doctor will help you with that process. Here is a good example of what you don’t want to happen: https://baldingblog.com/had-a-hair-transplant-at-21-now-at-22-he-has-more-hair-loss/

Even Kings have hair problems! Actually the hairline he is showing is not bad! Also, many men have changes in their hair character as they get older, for example the curly haired Harry might become a straight haired “Harry” when he is 60.

This article demonstrates that finasteride has more of a beneficial effect on the thickness and length of hair growth than on the number of new hairs
