My hairline is definitely lower than it was before I started.. I attached an image of how I style my hair to hide the slight recession in my hairline as well, just in case the look might work for someone else (not implying that it works for me)

I have always had a larger crown sworl, and I never noticed horrible thinning in that area. However, I have diffuse type thinning, luckily my hair is still thick enough that nobody can notice. I just need opinions about my crown 9 months in. Thank you all for looking.

Your crown looks the same judging by those pics, or maybe a bit of less density. hairline seems to have improved a bit.

I'm almost certain it's that my hair is longer which makes it look less dense.

Hey bud, I just saw this and know we both started the same time and talked it through.

Crown is more or less the same, no noticeable change, even maintenance is a success. Hairline is lower as you note yourself, particularly some growth on the sides at the front.

Lol we style our hair pretty similar too. It looks good. Hope you continue to grow/maintain.

Definite hairline improvement.

I know that I'm experiencing regrowth throughout vertex and crown, I can feel the layer of new hairs that was prickly to the touch. I think after a year, it will look even better.

I'm really pleased that I caught my male pattern baldness in time to not only maintain, but regrow too.

Good to hear from you Wolf Pack

The worst you can claim is maintenance which at your early stage of hairloss is a big win but your hairline clearly gained some density. finasteride doesn't work on the hairline my *** lol.. Looking good man.

I was just given a prescription for finasteride, but I'm a little bit apprehensive because of the side effects. Have you noticed any?

Same. It just takes a while for it to come through. I've had terminal hairs come through but my crown and norwood 2 has a lot more of that "peach fuzz" which is getting more noticeable. So hopefully over time, it will go through enough cycles to all emerge as terminal hairs.

I am planning on adding Rogaine Foam worse comes to worse.

You may be younger than me but you probably have a slow genetic pattern too, that combined with early meds intervention and possible transplants means there is nothing to worry about in terms of full hair. At least for the next few decades which are the best part of a man's life. But even the way it's styled now, it's fine.

Look forward to your yearly update. You're in control so stick with it!

That results are impressive, especially at the hairline.
