Somewhatworried

Well I mean do you think the HT doctor was just wrong, or lying or what. I can see any real motive to lie to me, telling me my hair is gonna last longer, unless its some elaborate scheme to get me to get a hair transplant. I also doubt he's wrong. I mean the man looked through a microscope, he has seen hundreds of balding heads, its what he does for a job, and his assessment for me was that I'll probably never need a transplant, but I should take procepia if I want a full head of hair in my 40s 50s and so forth. In which i'm indifferent.

To be honest, i'm part of the crowd that's against procepia, I just don't trust anything that messes with my hormones. I would like to prolong taking it for as long as possible, and if i can make it past 30 with a NW2, never take it at all.

I came to him to see if I was losing my hair, i'm 19 and have a high hairline naturally. Theres pics on this forum somewhere if interested. He checked my hair with a 10x scope or something and assessed the thinning. He said I definitely have MPB, but it's in very early stages, and there very minor thinning, he said after looking at some photos of the men in my family (only my dads bald) that I clearly didnt inherit my dads super bald super early gene. He said i'm going to lose my hair very very slowly. He said I would probably end up nw3-4 vertex by the time im 60 or around then. Which pretty much mirrors my maternal grandfathers hair. This is obviously very good news to me, the promise of good hair throughout my 20s and 30s seemed a lost cause. My question is how much can I be sure that this guy is accurate, and that my hair will follow his predictions, is it even possible to somewhat accurately predict this? Basically i'm looking for a little but of extra closure to close the book on this.

This is going to extreme measures for an online diagnosis now but can you blame a guy for loving his mane, I was told you could pluck hairs out of your head and look at the miniaturization level that way, so sure enough. -the two on the right are from the side of my head, the ones that will supposedly never fall out. These ones are probably the thinnest -the next one left is from the very top of my head, where norwood 5s still have hair, this one is definitely the thickest -left again, is from about an inch from my widows peak, right down the middle. This one is the second thickest, though definitely not as thick as the one to its right. -The curly one is from the left hand side of my head about an inch from the recession line (where my hair would receed to, and where i do not want it to receed) Its curly becuase I plucked it weird. This ones probably the third thickest by a very small margin. -The one to the very left is from where i'm receding, This is one is probably about as thin as the ones on the side, though visibly and significantly less thick than the thickest. My care for the issue is reflected to the sheer amount of effort im putting into this. Sorry if it seems over zealous

So I went to a dermatologist today. She was ice-cold, no sense of humour, no empathy. She like took some pictures and said I should follow their program and use Minox and Fin. All very cold and calculated. I asked about the Fin side effects, and she told me the stats and brushed the comment off. I also asked about the hair miniaturization and she barely checked when she was taking photos of my hair and said the its fairly visible with the naked eye. Now I don't know if its just being hopeful, but I don't trust her one bit, it seemed like she was just trying to get me on Procepia and get me the f**k out of her office. Is it possible that my hairline is just maturing and the b***h is just dismissive, I found a photo from when I was about 10 and i've always had the widows peak and general shape of harline, it was never where those lines are, in your post transhair. (photos attatched) I also found this picture from about a year and a half ago, and my hair looks pretty much exactly the same. What do you guys think is there still hope for me, or was this shady lady right?

I would have to do my research but i'll try find something. Much thanks

I'm quite thankful that you took the time to read and properly reply, helpfully aswell! I do have questions and concerns as a matter of fact- At the very front of my hairline, where the widows peak is, you can see that some of the hairs at the very front are more spaced out, these hairs are actually fraying sort of, as in they curl and spiral, where my hairs everywhere else lay flat with the others. Its only maybe 5-10 hairs that are doing this, and only right at the front. This maybe sprung up in the past say 3 months (give or take) Does this give any indication of whether or not its a MH or MPB? Secondly I am an Australian resident and young. I'm not sure where I would start looking for a hair physician, Would more pictures help you diagnose this? Because i'm quite glad to email you how ever many is needed, if it got me closer to an answer

Okay so, I am almost 19 and a half, and recently I've been quite worried about me losing my hair early. Mostly because my dad who is now late 50s and completely bald has told me he started to lose his hair when he was 20. -My grandfather on my dads side is in his early 80s and is also completely bald, I'm not too sure when he started to lose it, I think it was a fair bit later than my dad. -My dads brother is 60 and has a full head of hair, and his hairline looks roughly like mine, similar color too, but quite different pattern. -My half-brother (from my dads side) who is 34 has a full head of hair, with a hairline that looks roughly like mine, but very different color and pattern. -On my Mums side, she has no brothers but, my grandfather is in his 80's and has a good amount of hair (thinning alot but its there). And i've looked through some family photos and no males on my mums side lose their hair young, and most keep some hair into their old age. Now as for me, my hair has the color of my fathers (though hard to tell), but it looks like it follows the general pattern of my mothers, considering where it parts and the protruding temple areas etc. I look like my father in most respects but with features of my mother (skin and hair placement over the body). The reason I'm worrying now is that when i run my hands through the top of my hair (testing as it were) I find sometimes more hair comes out than should, sometimes nothing in my hands, but sometimes 1, sometimes 2, sometimes 4. It freaks me out when I gently pull at my hair sometimes and i have like 3 hairs between my fingers usually from the front. Second of all there's no way to know for sure, but the front of my hairline looks thinner than usual. All in all i'm not sure, I would like some peace of mind one way or the other. Advise me.
