IMPORTANT HELP NEEDED:( How to know if my hairloss is from dht or other causes)

[poreskin]

Context: I have no recession of the hairline corners or thinning of the crown, but, I'm 16(as of october 2025) and I hit puberty at 14.5 years old which is spring of 2024.

My dad and his brother went through balding from alopecia totalis
My mom went through temporary baldspots for like a few months
Males on my moms side went through mpb.

Around july of 2025, I noticed that my hair became less fluffy and more weird and dry when using styling products. I thought nothing of it.

I got a haircut during August and november of 2025, both times my hair grew back with no problems.


But this time, I'm noticing that when styling my hair, my hair looks stringier and it responds negatively to products that i have to manually drag my hair down

also, when styling my hair, and putting a flow/middle part to the side, i put my hair down to cover my forehead but i notice there is a gap that i have to manually fill in

also just in general my hair is being weird, and no I dont use sulfates to shampoo and i dont do it often.

I notice zero hairloss when showering or rubbing/pulling my hairs

idk if this damage or thinning.

Solution?

why fin specifically?

why fin specifically?

It was meant as a joke. Here's a better explanation: “fin” means end in Spanish, and it’s usually used to wrap up a point or to mean that everything that was needed to be said has been said. You provided all the information the original poster needed, so I said “fin” as a way of agreeing with or affirming your response. and on top of that the abbreviation of the word finasteride-- "fin" was used. sorry if this sounds super tardo

indiamart is probably a good source but if you want you can get it from chinese grey market sources as well
ask your doctor if puberty is fully finished, and in the mean time perhaps take ru
if it was from stress it would come back once the stress goes away

Literally no evidence dht affects your voice or bonemass, even if it did, wouldnt matter with shitty hair, take dut.
Both of your problems can be fixed by hopping on test later on.
