Hairloss questions

[LookingforHelpWithThis]

Hi,

 

I'm a 25 year old male. I noticed around 4 years ago or so my hairline beginning to recede. I always had a very high hairline, even as a child, but the hair began to take on the classic "U" shape of hairloss and I was noticing more and more hair in the drain of my tub....In April I started on Finastride 1mg. While I noticed a marked decrease in my body hair (I'm incredibly hairy), I still have a lot of shedding (When cleaning the drain, I'll have a clump full of hair - almost a handful - from one shower, although this could be because I have wavy hair). I did however notice some temple growth (my temples were almost gone before I started):

 

My questions are:

 

1) Based on my pix, what NW stage am I at?

 

2) Will the shedding eventually stop/will the Finastride cease the balding and perhaps even allow for some regrow?

 

First pic is me at 16 for reference (to illustrate I've always had a high hairline):

 

These were taken today:

I would say you are almost NW II. I think in the last 4 years not too much changed and you still have a lot of time fighting the hair loss. Good that you took Fin. One of the only solutions that really help. I would still take it longer but I am not s sure if there will be some significant regrowth because you also did not lose much hair so far. You can be very happy if your hairline stays like that for the next 2-4 years which is possible in my opinion.

Thank you...Anyone else have an opinion?

You are responding to the medication as a Norwood 2. The thinner hairs may thicken in the hairline but keep the photos to hopefully prove even more results in the next 6 months.

the thing is I had gastric sleeve and after operation I started to lose a lot of my hair.. I'm really scared even if now I'm following a treatment, but still no results

Are you sure I'm NW2? I feel like I'm higher on the chart...

It looks to me like you just have a higher/mature hairline. You still have quite a bit of density at the hairline itself - the line has just gotten higher as you've matured which is normal.

 

NW2 seems right. Look at my picture as a reference of a NW3. Not only was my hairline receding and getting higher, but the density at the hairline was very sparse and thin. It doesn't look like that's what yours is doing. The fact that you've always had a high hairline supports this as well.

Hello everyone,

Hair loss has been a problem for me since last 2-3 years. Every time I comb my hair at list 30-40 hair come to my hand. I am 23 years old now.

The main causes of hair loss-

• Surgery

• General anaesthesia

• Change in medication

• High fever

• Flu

Diet can play a role, too. These are main reasons for hair loss problem.

LookingforHelpWithThis. Are you more concerned about the temporal regions or the frontal hairline?
