17 and a half right now almost 18. Done growing in height for sure. I’m wondering though if I should wait until all my bones have reached adult maturity (21) or if I should just take it right now. What should I do?

Also my dad and grandpas both have a history of balding. They were also stressed as fuck their entire life though and unhealthy as fuck so might not be a good indicator.
 
how much hair do you have at the moment?

but i do have some thinning and ever since i got on accutane 40mg (i cruise on 40 mg once a week now) few hairs fall out showering. thats why im saying its a possibility im at the very very beginning stage of norwood.
 
lots. dont think im balding yet but its a possibility with my genes
Good to hear. In that case i would prob wait till 21 but it doesn't really matter if you take it at 18.

If you dont look underdeveloped then not really risk. If you're not actively shedding just start on low does of finasteride tho and you'll be able to catch side effects earlier if you get them

could at least start with minox, but you know very well that wont hold it for long id do fin/dut at 18 aslong as you entered puberty early, if not then wait longer

fuck maybe just take it at 18 not worth becoming a norwoodcell

once u notice anything i would hop on it. i wouldnt hop on it now since its not really needed but im not sure

done growing in height im just concerned because i heard other bones like clavicles grow until 21

the thing is i shed a few hairs when showering but its because of the accutane so im not sure its norwood yet.

I wouldnt stress it fin is not on the same level as dut

get a photo every couple months of the crown and hairline, if theres a genuine trend more than once or twice thats how youll know

i just dont wanna lose potential bone gains
just analyze your hairline, take like a weekly video or sum once u notice actual recession then you should start right away

its solid but you have a lot of those like weaker hairline hairs just photo check every month or so just make sure theyre baby hairs or something and not follicular miniaturisation (shedding)

looks fine to me but i do notice very small hairs missing but it could just be ur natural hairline maybe if u have a reference pic when u were younger could help? but more than likely its just ur natural hairline
