Is it time to start Fin/Minoxidil ?

[Strafe]

Couldn’t tell whether to put this in here or ratings, but I’m not looking for a rating so I guess it fits best here.

19 years old. Haircut is retarded because barbers are still closed for me. Hairline has been more or less stable for the last 2 years, but I have noticed some thinning. My puberty came pretty late, only really starting around 15/16. I’m also heavy gymmaxxing right now.

Have I begun norwooding? Should I wait to start Fin? I’ve always hated my hair and have a decent enough skull, so I’ve already

I typically keep it cut short almost to skin, but the consensus here seems to be average/below average hair > bald so I thought I’d at least try to salvage it.

golden rule is if you have to ask, you should already be on it.

That’s fair. I’m just weighing the pros of salvaging my hairline with the cons of potential damage.

Ask a fucking hair Doctor. Fin and min cost a combined $100 a month. That's a huge bill for most people and not something to be taken off Internet advice

I’m just gauging whether or not it’s something that I should look in to.

Look into it, I'd personally reduce cortisol and estrogen first and scalp massage 10 minutes a day

 

[TsarTsar444]

No, just get hair system

Why? Nobody would tell, fin is too risky

If you're going to take plunge you better do it now. Been on fin for 2 years with 0 side effects. The hair might get a little thicker and some hairs might grow back. The growing back is usually quite limited so start in time before you even have to consider a hair transplant which is expansive as fuck. Howover.. Make sure you know what you get and go for 1 mg a day or even less.

Don't fall into the "shave/beard"-cope.

Thinning at 19 already?
It was the first step I experienced at 30. At mid 30's entered NW1. Now since half a year on finasteride (low dose 0.25 gr) + minox. Back to NW0.5, and a bit thicker.

I hope I can keep hair. Iwith my face shape will look hideous bald.

Is shave with beard really a cope? It’s obviously not ideal but it seems like a good fallback

Can you estimate what stage of norwooding at? I’ve tried using guides but I’m a little bit of a hypochondriac so I always see myself as Norwood 4/5 even though I don’t think it’s that bad in reality.

If you had better hairline before.
You can likely improve back to NW1 range with some help of Dina + minoxidill

 

[Deleted member 7173]

Yeah you probaly should start looking into hair loss prevention methods
