Grizzlyeast Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Hi all, My hairline has been receding slowly over the past 7 years, I’ve always had a high hairline since being young but the temples are now going back to a point that I want to try and stop it . I’ve been using minox for 5 years and I think it helped but now is becoming less effective . A month ago I started saw palmetto 450 mg daily and twice weekly derma rolling (1mm) , I feel that they helped with the daily shedding. I’ve been to dermatologists and they say your hair is not that bad but they also just looked from across the desk. My question is should my next step be to look into finateride or to look into hair transplant and avoid fin and the sides? . Thank you. hair brushed forward to hide temple recession.

Regular Member Storyteller Posted December 14, 2020 Regular Member Share Posted December 14, 2020 Hello my friend ,welcome to the forum!How old are you?You hair looks fine to me,i don't see any reason for you to be considering having a hair transplant or starting finasteride,your crown is solid.You also seem to have thick hair,i don't see anything wrong going on with your hair. Perhaps you could have 1000 grafts for a small touch up in your hairline and temples,nothing more.Finasteride is for thinning crowns,yours is not thinning so it would not make any sense starting it.

Grizzlyeast Posted December 14, 2020 Author Share Posted December 14, 2020 Hello there, I’m 30, yeah I guess my hair loss situation is not so bad for the age. I always keep my hair very short so I’m seeking that straight hairline I used to have and trying to figure out the best way to get there. Also trying to slow any further recession. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member makehairgreatagain Posted December 14, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted December 14, 2020 Finasteride is a DHT blocker and that applies for all hair. Do you have pictures of your crown you can show? It's normal to have some recession and not always have the straight hairline you had in high school. Have you consulted a physician listed on this site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grizzlyeast Posted December 14, 2020 Author Share Posted December 14, 2020 I’ll try to get a pic of the crown And post here but yeah there is not thinning there , I did not consult with any physicians here not sure how to go about that. I do understand that it’s Normal to lose that juvenile hairline but to me it seems that its moving deep in the nw2 territory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
