Hi everyone. I have grown my hair for the past week. First time in 10 years. Reluctant to grow any future as I find it upsetting. Would these photos be enough to get an assessment from a recommended clinic. Thanks.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. I shall grow my hair for a few weeks and come back with more photos. At this stage I don't have any expectations. I know I will never have a mop of hair again as I did when I was younger. Something age appropriate would be nice though. As I age it would be nice to stop shaving it daily but also have some on top. My facial hair is average and most of it has turned white so I'm sure if it would be suitable. I have no hair on top except a lot of miniaturised hairs. I am unsure if the norwood scale. I assumed i was a 7 but maybe i am a 6. Would it be to late to try medical intervention such as dutasteride? Reading through the forums I wont be seeking any appointments within Australia with clinics. I am orginally from Ireland so I do travel quite frequently in that direction. I am in no rush to get a transplant. I want to find the best possible surgeon for me and I am quite happy to wait if need be.

Hi everyone, Where to begin. I'm 44 and starting losing my hair at 18. I spoke to my family GP at the time and he said it was my genetics and there was nothing he could do. I was going bald!! By the time I was 30 I was shaving my head. It's been that way ever since. I've endured the usual jokes and smart ass comments from people for a long time. It had affected me mentally more than I actually realised. I always hoped that sometime in the future there may be a cure or a magic pill. In the past few years I have started researching and realised that I may have missed out on medical intervention through tablets. I wasn't aware there was finasteride, duestruide and others. Fast forward to today and I have started noticing on social media about hair transplants and some amazing results. I suppose it got me thinking if this is something possible. My research has led me to here. I suppose i am looking for advice or for someone to tell me that it's not possible and wait for something in the future. I was concerned about contacting clinics that would build up my hopes for something thst may not even be possible. As I have said above I shave my head daily. I have let it grow out for a few days so I can show some photos. I just an honest opinion. Thanks everyone and I wish you all well on your journey.
