[danilosca]

Pics from the left are from today, and pics from the right are 1year and 7 months old.

im now 18 and in the old pics i was 16.

PICS FROM TODAY:

I DONT KNOW WHY BUT WHEN I PULL MY HAIR BACK WITH 1 HAND LOOKS ALOT WORSE

HOW LONG DOES MY HAIR HAVE TO STAY THE SAME SO I CAN SAY IM NOT BALDING AT THE MOMENT?

ALSO MY DAD IS A NW2 BUT WITH VERY THIN HAIR, MY HALF BROTHER (SAME FATHER OTHER MOTHER) IS NW6 AT 35 , AND THE GRAND FATHER FROM FATHER SIDE WAS NW6 AT 45

IN MY MOTHER SIDE OF THE FAMILY EVERY ONE EXTREMLY FULL HEAD OF HAIR, GRAND FATHER DIED AT 87 WITH A NW1 HAIRLINE AND EXTREMLY THICK

looks fine duder

i would say get on finasteride since it really can't hurt - if you get sideeffects yous top taking - but quite frankly i dont think a doctor will prescribe it for you.

maybe if he's a family doctor and you ask idk - but it just looks like a mature hairline

No deterioration whatsoever. In fact, I misread your post and thought you had been on medication for 1yr 7mo. I was about to ask you if you are sure you should be on it and whether you had actually seen a doctor and been diagnosed with male pattern baldness. If anything, your hairline looks thicker and more defined to me but of course that could be the pics, lighting, hair length etc.

Man, that seems ridiculous to me. At his age and his supposed progression. He is so unsure of any loss he is asking on the internet. I cant see how it can be time to take drugs if you yourself cant even decide if you have lost anything.

OP I think you are worrying yourself too much. Paying attention and taking baseline pics like that at 16 years old? When do you feel you might have first started losing then? 15 years old?

If I were you I would forget about it and reevaluate in six months or a year. Trust me, youll *know* when you are losing hair. And if you jump on finasteride the moment you know for sure, there will be no real damage done. Youll be better off in the long run. If you start finasteride now, you might take it for life for no reason!

my hair looks thiker now i think is coz the lights,and when i use to have 12 my hairline use to be like a women hairline , it was round , i remember that you coudnt she the corners of it

anther question, if i dont see changes by age 20 does that means that im not balding at the moment ?

and thanks for the comments

Your hair looks exactly the same as when you came to this site a year and half ago.
No one but a doctor who can do a complete miniaturization study can tell you if
you are loosing hair but from your pictures your hair looks great.
Go out and enjoy your young life and stop worrying.

Whoever told you to get on finasteride must be receiving some kind of incentive for promoting it.

Or they are stupid, but either way, don't take finasteride.

No change visible. Your not balding and at best a norwood 2 which is a mature hairline. Most men reach this stage some point in there life some younger than others its nothing to worry about. You know your balding when your hair is either going thin, a bald spot develops or your hair recedes to a norwood 3.

i know dude but my mother tell me like 2 weeks ago this after i get a haircut:

let me see you , ohhh you are starting to get a receding hairline or have it always been like it (she ask)

i say: i dont know i guess

she say or it may be coz your hairstyle is different noe

also my older brother always tell me: look this is me at your age ( he show me a picture) and then he add, now look at me you are going to be like me in 10 years ( he is a nw6) no hair in the top of his head but he is my half brother so i have hope i got my mother genetics
