probably not any measurable effect. i usually see balding in asians if they are 1) middle-aged, or old 2) lots of body hair (myself and dad included). it's no coincidence that asians, on avg, have lower levels of the enzyme responsible for metabolizing test into dht.

there should be an 'upload a file' button next to the 'post' button. you dont need to host an img. based on what u've wrote, all males in your family experienced hair loss. statistically speaking, u'll probably go down that road as well. we cant tell u if ur going to keep ur hair, esp if we have...

looks fine. i dont see any miniaturization on the frontal hairline. ur forehead looks high, but that might be a photographic illusion since rounded surfaces seem to "enlarge" when the camera lens is very close to the subject.

what r u talking about? he's an nw3 in both pics, i dont see how he's an nw2 in either. notice how u can see his brows in the first pic? different angles cause illusions.

hairline is hard to recover because, in a lot of cases, people who've started to notice that theirs have receded dont find out until it's too late. by the time they decided to jump into treatment, the follicles that form the hairline would've already been atrophied to the point where regrowth...

gonna b blunt. id consider that a receding hairline between a Norwood 2 and 3. we cant definitively answer if you'll continue to lose hair. a buddy of mine, whos in the army, has had a pretty high for as long as i can remember (dating back since sophomore year) and his hair hasnt changed much since...

if i could pull off the bald look, id shave and forget. too bad my head looks like a penis fml

dont wanna sound like a jackass, but the consistency of your hair doesnt match up on some photos. your hairline looks great in some pics, but on others it looks worse. in fact, on some of the pics, your temples look like their heading in the direction of mine.

i see some miniaturization on the hairline, but nothing looks deliberately indicative of male pattern baldness. Could just be a mature/ing hairline. How are your parents and any pics of your hair from when you were younger? Edit: minoxidil/keto can probably only stave off the miniaturizing process for so long. DHT...

None whatsoever. Im probably more fit than I was in high school. From what Ive read, DHT plays a nominal role in sexual development and is also CNS stimulant (among other thjngs), so I can understand the apprehension. But in all honesty, I havent felt any side effects that wouldve been...

turnin 23 this year.

male pattern baldness is polygenic, many genes play a role in it and perhaps you received an allele that would've otherwise been recessive on your dad's side? you can get male pattern baldness from both parents. not trying to alarm you. chances are you might end up with just as much hair as your dad, but you should consult with a...

looks like a regular cowlick. does ur family have any history of hair loss?

hairline recession. most likely male pattern baldness. id def get a prescription for finasteride, esp if ur family has a history of baldness; chances r, u'll end up just like them.

I don't. Lotion may help a bit, but I usually wait until the episode is over. I don't notice any more shedding. In fact, since I've been on finasteride, I don't find as much hair falling out when I run my hand across my scalp as before.
