Crisp Bank Note Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 I have some thinning hair on the crown. I have a M-shaped hairline as well but I don't care as much about that. I noticed on the crown that the hair is thinning. There is still hair growing there but it's really thin and short. I am on Vitamin B12 tablets because blood work demonstrated a slight deficiency. I am also using Minoxidil 5% twice per day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted September 4, 2020 Administrators Share Posted September 4, 2020 That is 100% male pattern baldness, if you haven’t tried finasteride you should. You’re still early enough to stop it. Once it goes, it’s not coming back. 3 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic.

No bald spot? How common are the side effects? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But doesn't Minoxidil bring about re-growth? I've seen some before and afters that seem to indicate it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finasteride regrows more hair than minoxidil. Definitely give it a try. 1 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic.

In your case, it will recover the density and hair calibre. You have just started to experience androgenetic alopecia. This medication will be a blessing.

Sammy_Brown Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 (edited) Yes, I agree! It would be appropriate for you to start finasteride. It will make your new hair grow. However, if there is no benefit, you can consult a specialist. Edited September 13, 2022 by Sammy_Brown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member mavigo Posted October 2, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted October 2, 2022 Once appreciable hair loss is noticed, it's usually too late for regrowth. But unless you want it to get worse, now is the time to begin medication. 1 FUE 2400 Grafts (2023) - Dr. Panine; Chicago Hair Transplant Clinic FUT 1400 Grafts (2019) - Dr. Steven Paul Holt; Holt Hair Restoration/Bella Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
