hey man i know it sucks because its much more rare to find people loosing hair at early ages...im 22 and on an interval of one year i lost a lot of hair in the crown area...all the young guys of my family are "fighting" hair loss too...
I decided to not take finasteride, i did some research about side effects, stories, etc and decided that its not worth the risk. my grandfather went bald, my father went bald...thats my genetic and im proud of it. Honestly, your hair at the first pictures was nice and doesnt even look like hairloss, looks like a mature hairline. my hairline right now like a M. and honestly im enjoying my M hairstyle. Its a classic
. Anyone can see that i'm loosing hair but I still getting lady normally. I might shave it in a couple of years, who knows.

If I were you I would go to UK and have hell of a time with English chiks...because your hairline looks exactly like Sid Vicious (idol RIP), he is like 20-21 on this picture.

finasteride DONT GIVE SIDES TO THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE THAT IS PROVEN, STOP SPREADING LIES
I am wearing a cap everywhere, I get the occasional stare when I take it off... Still haven't started finasteride, should I wait longer first? Do you think my right temple is higher or is the right side of my face just uglier? (didn'y realize how bad it looked before this pic)

where exactly is this alleged hair loss of yours? looks like a Norwood 1 with zero recession and you decided to shave your head because of this? i was born with a worse hair line so was i supposed to shave my head as a kid?
either im seeing things or there's strong bdd in here.

Just read this:
I have noticed the following convincing sign that you have Androgenetic Alopecia
A) Your hair quality is bad as shown in your original post
B) You have noticed shedding
C) You must have noticed that you have considerable thinning (I call it corrosion) in area that is widely ignored-the side hair in/above sideburns-I can never ignore that part
D) Your right temple shows a deep pointed, sort of one apex of a triangle going deeper, resulting in a triangle hairless spot on sides
E) You are Caucasian/European
Your Androgenetic Alopecia might take a shape of a frontal island shape in future-the pointed apex will make a kinda half u-turn leaving a dense island look in front, surrounded by thin hair or bald area; joined by ever increasing bald crown area from behind.
You are lucky in sense that you seem to be born with abundant/plenty of hair follicles to begin with. Coupled that with your darker hair, your Androgenetic Alopecia progression may take time. Additionally, I am pretty positive that you will respond very well to any treatment even in terms of hair regrowth.
You can do this
A) Wait and monitor to see if it progresses, stay on good diet/supplements (go to immortal hair to explore supplements such as Biotin)
B) Take finasteride only and see how that helps you for several months before you make final assessment (do not yet start anything else-you want to establish your threshold meds as simple as possible for long haul)
C) After months of assessment, if you still have considerable thinning, start with minoxidil only then to thicken your hair if you still have thin/sparse looking hair. minoxidil will most likely benefit you well. The reason I wouldnt start minoxidil first is because Androgenetic Alopecia needs to be treated at the root cause/problem which is adrogens-dht. finasteride takes care of it, minoxidil does not. Thus, minoxidil is superficial remedy while hair follicles down there are still being miniaturized. If finasteride. takes care of that, then hopefully you wouldn't need minoxidil at all.
D) You may start keto shampoo whenever you like, no more than twice or thrice a week to begin with.
E) Come back here if there is some unexpected situation or your hairloss is not subsiding and you are going fast. There is more you can do.
Know that, once you start any of the above treatments, there is no turning back- coming off of them would result in a disaster that would be even more depressing and killing. Thus, you must be sure that you can keep up with dedication (using treatments consistently) and sacrifice (putting up with sides-usually subside). Therefore, try to use one simple treatment at a time to see what works best for you. The idea is to find an easy threshold that you can carry on for best maintenance.
It is all your judgement call
(Note that above is purely my observation, sense, and judgement based on my intuitive thoughts and real life assessments- NOt a medical advise and certainly not any promise that it will happen to you what I spelled out above)

Thats me in that post. I didn't feel like saying that all over again.
I REALLY appreciate this post, thank you! I just got 100 5mg finasteride tablets in the mail and have decided not to use them, I use ketokonazol shampoo and it does feel like it is helping so I'll stick with that for now... (I also got a haircut today and I'm pleased with the results, stopped using the cap)...
My opinion is you need to compare your hair now to what it was before to tell if its actually a problem maybe more weight if you have male pattern baldness in family. Then if you have very minor hair loss I think waiting is a good choice you can always start finasteride but once you start its a for life thing. Current treatments are nothing amazing and frankly propecia is kind of a dangerous game to play long term since we all know tomorrow a study could come out showing DHT is important in the body for something we never knew about. If your Norwood 3 with big time balding I would try propecia if it really bothers you but our treatments suck I would just wait on it and kind of just accept it until we have something safer that works better. Take some pictures and just watch it
