19

Op here, thanks for the advice. Is it worth combining it with Minoxidil?

sure it is

If it helps at all, some people have their hairline mature then it stays the same for a while. Had a buddy in college who was starting to bald has the same hairline at 26 that he did at 18

Finasteride plus minoxidil

It's not too late, I got on this shit when I was 20 and my hair is still fine at 27.

>{optional join the military)
>get big
>get Bad (either on the outside or 100%)
>Shave your head (Not completly if you still have sone hair)

God I really hope this is the case, my hairstyle currently does a pretty good job of hiding it and no one has commented on it currently so fingers crossed.

Will these affect my gains at all? Is DHT not an important hormone for strength training?

It won't. Most likely risk is sexual problems

everyone balds young. If you dont bald by 30 you will never go bald.

do some research before jumping into pills that could fuck you up permanently just because a couple of anons that didn't have any sides told you to

The only way is to be noticibly built, The Rocks size preferably. It's literally the only way.

I started balding at 18, a Little later everyone would always guess my age to be 30+
I hate my life

Do not listen to anyone saying take medicine or some shit. You will eventually go bald whether you like it or not, and those meme products will not help. Just fucking accept that you will be bald in the future, who cares? Do that or waste money on a shitty hair transplant which is also a bad idea.

yeah, having having a full head of hair is way better, but you're balding. shave it

I dont care if im bald at like 40/50 but im 19 so its crucial i look close to my best at least until im engaged.

Haha started happening to me when I was 15. Just accept it bro

Finasteride and minoxidil, OP. My only regret was not starting them sooner. Time lost is hairline lost.

Ah yes, the trick them in to thinking you have good genetics and then drop the bomb on them when nobody else will want them after you've stuffed them with two or three kids routine. Classic.

man, you can hold your ground pretty well with minoxidil and finasteride, but if you're balding at such an young age, I don't think you can hold it for long. If it's an aggressive mpb, you'll be dead bald in a decade even with drugs. Also, finasteride has some nasty sides that may or may not happen to you, so think wisely.

Personally, I'd take the drugs, in case the balding didn't stop, I'd drop them and start to roid madly.

>that may or may not

Read as: statistically almost certainly won't. The fin breaking your dick meme is vastly blown out of proportion. Reality is that like 2-3% of men have sexual sides from fin and that almost all of them go back to normal if they stop taking it.

Point is, the overwhelming odds are that you have a lot to gain (80% of men will keep and/or regrow hair) and nothing to lose beyond $30/mo or whatever for a fin script.

Are you actually losing hair, or do you just have a high hairline? They aren’t the same thing

>implying that only males with mpb suffer from the effects of aging

ever heard of 'the wall' retard? its very much a 2 way street

my hairline has certainly gone back recently, especially around the temples.

If it makes you feel any better I have had this hairline since 15. Bizarrely I haven’t seen any recession since then lmao

Oh by the way I’m nearly a 19 year old boomer. I actually might have had this hairline for longer than 15. This thread has caused me to look at older pictures of myself and I had this fucking widows peak even when I was 7 lmao

Dude, I have only seen 50 year olds with this shit. I’m proud of you

I know it’s fucking crazy. It’s even more bizarre because my grandfather has the exact same thing. The men on my fathers side of the family sort of just develop hair cuts to hide it lol

of couse they are

How old are you now?

And if you are interested this is how I wear my hair.

Turning 19 in a month

Are you me? I'm 22 but some collegues estimated me at 30. Best I got was 26.

End my life.

Finasteride. Start it right now. Use minoxidil on the bald spots around your temples. I started thinning at 26 but didn't start using fun until I was 31. I should have started it right away.

Am I balding Jow Forums? My dad didn’t start until his 40s and none of my brothers did either, but my mom made some comment the other day that has me terrified. I’m 19

rip user. just shave it off

What was the comment you mom made. If it was that your hairline is going back, then you can be sure you're going bald. Nobody will notice sooner thsn your mom

Nice wrinkles faggot

Yeah I'd look into Finn,but don't do he brand name one (propecia?)
It comes in 5mg which is usually overkill and contributes to killed dick syndrome

The generic finna comes in lower mgs (at your age,if conbined with ketocanozal shampoo,quitting cigs,and avoiding other trigger stuff) 1.5 mg of generic finn should be good and shouldnt mess with libido at all (you'll prob still get watery semen for a bit tho)

Dont think you need rogaine tho,since its useless for hairline and only works on crown, and is a goopy mess

Just relax OP. Mine was like that at 16 and didn’t actually get any worse until about 28

After reaching some critical point i shave this shit and later get transplant or smth i guess

Congratulations, you can now stop worrying about haircuts and can focus on more important things, such as getting jacked and ripped.

Im 6'0 but okay whatever you say retard

Is hair loss from stress in guys actually a thing? My GP diagnosed me with telogen effluvium last month after a mental breakdown at the start of the year and I'm seeing a dermatologist in a month's time. My hair's thinner, straighter and lifeless all over and I'm even shedding on the back of my head. I talked about it in a hair loss forum but all I got was a bunch of incel faggots screaming "YOU'RE COPING COPE COPE COPE"

Yes stress can trigger/exacerbate male pattern baldness, but only if you have the genetics for it (which you do).

Do whatever you can to relieve your stress user

I don't have any bald relatives though. Lots of people have fiveheads and widows peaks from like childhood/adolescence but no bald people.

Also it's just less dense all over, there's no pattern and my hairline isn't moving back.

take finasteride and you'll keep that hair/hairline into your 50s

I would not recommend minoxidil, minoxidil will bloat your face and cause hair growth on your cheeks/ears/body etc. Just stick to finasteride, about 0.5mg to 1mg a day and you will keep your hair

I've been on it for almost 2 years now and the major difference is that I lose no hair in the showers anymore (before I was on fin I would lose shittons of hair).

also to expand on this, if you take minoxidil, it will actually make normal hairs on your head dependant on minoxidil so when you stop it, they will begin to fall out whereas if you stop finasteride your balding will just progress as though you were balding in the first place

Take finasteride - but be careful of any sexual side effects. Stop taking right away if your dick stops working or anything. Usual side effects are slightly watery and reduced ejaculate, but this tends to be minor. You also might notice an initial shed for the first few months.

Forget about minoxidil - while it might help to regrow some hairs, it's a bitch to apply it twice a day and it will noticeably age your face. I used it for about a year and developed noticeable dark circles under my eyes, wrinkles on my forehead, and quite a bit of facial bloat.

In the meantime ask for a high fade when you go to the barber since it will help draw attention away from your hairline.

FDA approved drug that has 0 sides for vast majority (98%+) of men taking it.

Of those with sides, vast majority resolved by just not taking the drug.

This is why you don't do creatine kids

Sure are alot of pharmashills in this thread. I took 1mg fin-nasty for a year before I lost all sensitivity in my dick. Still not back to 100% even after several months of quitting. Don't mess with that garbage, it's not worth it. Also, it's not fucking 1-2% of people like they say. It's closer to 1 in 3 people will get sides according to my urologist who has to prescribe that shit for prostate issues. Steer clear

I know that feel, user. My hair has been thinning at the corners of the hairline too. Right now it's only really noticeable if I go out of my way to accentuate it like in pic-related, but otherwise I can still hide it and it looks perfectly fine. But it's still a ticking timebomb and while I can hopefully slow down the process, I'll eventually just have to accept it and shave or w/e. What really just pisses me off about it is the fact that no one in my family has ever gone bald. Both grandfathers died in their 80s with full heads of hair. Dad and all uncles have full heads of hair, and so on. Really fucking drew the short straw.

I don't suppose there's an easy way to get finasteride, is there? I really can't be fucking bothered to go to my GP and then get a special appointment set up with a derm just to get a script for some fin 1mg pills. The cost of bullshit doctor visits just to get the script just make it a nonstarter right now.

I have the opposite problem, mine grows way too quickly and is think AND straight, which means I look like jesus when it gets long.

Women literally ask to touch it in public, hella embarassing when you are socially autistic. Shave your head dude. My uncle did and he looks chad as fuck with a skinhead compared to the shit limp hair he had left.

You look fine to me bro.

You either have loads of androgen receptors on your face or your head. Most people will either never go bald while not being able to grow a good beard, or go bald as fuck but still have an epic beard.

Some unlucky people have balding and shitty beard, some extremely rare people have no balding and huge beards.

Most people fit into either beard but bald or lush hair but shitty beard.

As you can see I have le shitty beard.

Theoretically it can drop your bloodpressure and cause arrhythmias, but that's only with systemic use (ie, taking minoxidil pills) not with topical application. Although theoretically it could be a possible concern if you applied minoxidil to an area of the scalp with an open wound or broken skin, but AFAIK there's not going to be any data on that.

the main side effect is that if you stop taking minoxidil, your hair will start rapidly falling out. This basically means you have to keep using it and if you take a break from it, if might have an impact.

I just oiled my face senpai, don't wanna get that shit in my mouth.

Got dry skin from living in such an awful cold windy shithole.

problem solved.
If you make excuses and don't do what I say you deserve worse than baldness.

I see, that's a relief. Thought the hair gains thinning or falling back out was due to not having used it for long enough, though. From what I understood it takes a few years for everything to become settled, but after that you could stop using it. Disappointing as fuck if it really has to be forever.

Same thing happened to my dad at the exact same age (thankfully I inherited from my grandpa who's still rocking a mane at age 70 something). Don't bother with retarded expensive snake oil dogshit, just accept it.

That's true too. They say it takes 6 months to see an effect, and before then you're actually going to see increased hair thinning temporarily because the old hairs need to get out of the way to make way for the new rogaine-powered ones, if that makes any sense.

So bottom line is you decide to start it, you have to be persistent.

Oh good. That makes sense, yeah. I can handle shit being sparse for awhile if it'll improve things in the long run, most great things can't be achieved without suffering for awhile after all.

Best of luck. The only other thing is that I'd recommend you try getting finasteride as well. It works in a completely different way to also help combat hair loss. Minoxidil causes vasodilation which causes thicker growth to an extent, and finasteride blocks DHT and helps prevent further losses while you're on it. Together you should be able to do a decent job slowing down the progression. Some people also recommend ketoconazole shampoo, and there's some weaker data on that helping a little, so it's up to you if you want to try it. Thing with that is that it's a really harsh shampoo really meant for anti-dandruff, and so people that use it report that it "fries" their hair and damages it over time.

Thanks man, same to you. I'll have to think about the fin given the side effects, what I've heard about them makes sense considering it works by blocking DHT. Definitely gonna get started on topical minoxodil though.

>ketoconazole shampoo
Interesting, never heard of this. My hair is naturally dry as all fuck, so that wouldn't work for me, but I'll keep it in mind to recommend to others.

Looks to be the early stages. I'm 19 and have it a bit worse than you and getting worse recently. I would shave it in a few years and then forget about hair entirely and just grow a beard.

Unrelated, anyone here try mixodiol for beard growth? I can't grow a beard that's very thick and not a patchy mess of pubes.

Its time to own the max payne look.
Bald head bearded face

I've heard it works, been thinking about using it to even out my sideburns because one side is bizarrely sparse, but if you're only 19 just wait for it to happen naturally.

It's not over yet bras.

I have identified that I have chronic inflammation and this is the cause of my balding. As can be seen by my red scalp in pic.
I will see if my diet is the cause of the inflammation.
First, I will try paleo.
If that does not fix it, I will just go chicken and broccoli.

There are treatments for balding. Is Ashley and Martin a thing where you live, coz I think they're probably the best brand for it.
