tylergriffin Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Hey I’m a 17 year old male who just got a haircut with a 3 on the sides and was wondering if the thickness on the sides and back looked normal or if it looked like early retrograde alopecia. Any feedback or follow up questions are greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted June 23, 2021 Administrators Share Posted June 23, 2021 As someone who cuts my own hair and my friends hair. It looks like you got a lower guard at the bottom, which is why it looks thinner. It’s a gradual fade which is a giveaway to the haircut. I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

tylergriffin Posted June 23, 2021 Author Share Posted June 23, 2021 The only part that really bothers me is the thickness around the ears because I’ve heard a lot about that and retrograde alopecia or DUPA, but the more I look it could just be a bad fade and the way it’s cut short Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Britanium Posted June 23, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted June 23, 2021 Its just the cut/fade you have. Honestly just enjoy having the best years of excellent hair 🤩 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this lighting make it look like thinning or is it still normal looking after a haircut- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch this Yep I’ve noticed a little receding at the temples and when I turn 18 in about a month I have an appointment with a derm to talk about propecia and until then I’m gonna use nizoral and possibly minoxidil and a derma roller. Just wanted to clear out DUPA which would’ve made it a lot more complicated. If it’s just patterned hair loss I can live with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
