I think the Norwood reaper came to me after raping my father..
First pic is 2y ago, guys if I lose my hair I’ll get nerfed to ltn help 😭

I got finasteride arrives in 2d (if anyone using that can u lmk how to take it) and I’ve read so many horror stories abt shedding, will it be bad?
Even tho hair will grow back my hair is 12cm in length so it’ll take a while…

Also bought oral minox will arrive start of the next week. 5mg

What else do I do save me please I don’t wanna end up like my father with Norwood 2 at 25…

Solution
otal_duu
1mg fin every day
5mg oral minox (stop after a week if u see bloating, but u can try to counter with potassium or furosemide)

If minox won’t work it’s not as bad as finasteride should prevent you from losing more hair and your recession is mild and unnoticeable

You are already NW2 but sounds like you’ve already got a handle on it.

What’s the big three

what nw is this
He’s diffuse thinning towards a likely Norwood 6.
The Norwood scale is not just a progression scale but also tells you what your destination is as well.

i do 1ml 5% solution in the morning. but honestly probably overkill for you, finasteride + minox should be more than enough.
Fair, I’ll do minox and finasteride for the start.

What finasteride dose and what abt shedding? If u know.

don't use oral minox it will give you excessive body hair and heart problems just use topical form two times per day and fin if 5 mg split the pill into 4 and take one quarter per day

no clue about dosages, i only use ru. afaik, the shedding probably won't be too bad for you since you're in the earlier stages of hair loss. nonetheless, shedding is a good thing; it shows that you're responding to the treatments.

I wouldn’t foist RU on OP before he’s tried more conventional treatments first.

yeah, I was shedding pretty hard before starting and I shed much much less now. it's worth mentioning I was natty before starting RU and I'm now running test + var.

Interesting. Did you go straight to RU or did you on finasteride first?

straight to RU, I was trying it with topical minoxidil at the start but got off minox cus it was making my heart feel like it was going to explode.

It’s not bad and I’m sure it’s only obvious when you really pull the hair back.

Just be pro-active and you should hold onto your hair for a long time.
 
Hey there’s foam, and spray types of minox. Which one do I buy?
Or do I stick to oral? Even tho it’ll make my hair grow everywhere, I would prob benefit from more lashes eyebrows and beard too. Lmk what y think

I'd say take just fin for now no dut but be careful with minox because personally it gave me really heavy bloat and occasional migraines even though it did do wonders for my hairline

Okay, so basically I’ll take it for a week or so and if bloating is bad I should stop, correct?
And can’t I get rid of bloating with potassium, or even furosemide on special occasions?

This was my assessment too.
It’s pretty mild but OP didn’t give me his age.
The key thing is to check for no further signs of diffuse hair loss because OP’s father clearly has this.

If he were late 20s, it would be barely anything.
I’m 18, 19 in 2mo

It’s very mild I know it’s gonna be like my dad’s hair and I’ll lose 30% of it in next 10 years which I wanna prevent

Quite young but the younger you are the better the recovery usually is.

You have a good chance of holding onto most of your hair if you are proactive.

Many would fall for the mature hairline bullshit only for it to get much worse down the line.

You’re doing the right thing OP. Hold the line!

yes, if bloating becomes bad after a week of oral minox, it would be best to stop. potassium will help with bloating temporarily, and you can use furo but you need to drink more water because itll make u need to use the bathroom way more and dehydrate you

Even applying minoxidil topically you'll still get some systemic absorption. My eyelashes grew a ton when I was using topical. If you go the topical route I think people tend to like the foam better.

And if I get bloated from minoxidil I’ll just continue with finasteride and that’s all?
Will it regrow lost hair? I thought it just prevented further balding

Causes some regrowth but is mainly used for prevention.

Minoxidil is your main growth stimulant.
