Hello chaps

New to all this. 29 years old and ready to make the surgical step. Currently on Rogaine foam. Here's the damage

1 Can any anyone suggest how many grafts I would require to get a hairline and fringe like this again?

2 Should I take Finasteride? Worried about turning into an emasculated wet blanket if I do.

hello it is too early for hair transplant bececuase your hairloss might not be static at this age. And with your current state you just need a good haircut and good hair style. I don't think it is a right time for hair transplant. Your hair seems fine at the moment. For me it looks perfect, I wish my hair was like this. Good luck

Thanks for your response.

You might wanna try getting a consultation with a HT doctor to get their opinion on the matter. From what I understand, they do have a way of checking your hair to make somewhat of a prediction of future hair loss and can compensate for that in the surgery. They examine the patterns and the density and the thickness of your hair, and can get a pretty good idea for how the hair loss will continue.

 

As for Finasteride, I have had zero wet blanket problems and have been taking it for 3 months. And from the few other guys I know that are taking it, they say it hasn't affected them either. So maybe give it a go. If it causes less cooperation down south, you could always stop taking it.

I will also add that Peter is absolutely right about the haircut/style. It's amazing how much more mileage you can get out of your hair with the right cut, stylist, and product. I successfully disguised my receding hairline for about 3 years before finally taking the plunge and getting the HT.

I agree with other members.

No need for a hair transplant, just use finasteride.

Thank you to everyone who responded.

Come on, you have great hair! As suggested above, keep using finasteride.
