Can you have some MPD but generally stay as a 'Mature hair-line' ???

[SpaceFox]

Well, apparently a Mature Hair Line is just what most men get as the hairline becomes sensitive to DHT; but I was wondering, is it possible to have both? where, you have male pattern baldness, but only goes to about a Mature hair-line for most of your life, and then stays at that....?

With only going maybe in later life?


Do most or many 20 year olds get a mature hair line...?

What's MPD?

 

[SpaceFox]

It's just that I have a norwood 2 right now, and I keep wondering if it'll get anyworse. My hair is pretty thin/fine now, but it's always been, and it still has some life/body to it, so I just wonder.

I've noticed a lot of men get this, or have this and it just seems to stay that way. I think it might actually be male pattern baldness, but that it might just stay that way, as it has generally been the say and only become more of a defined widows peak.

Why bother replying? obviously male pattern baldness*

Don't take any risks if you're concerned. Go see a specialist, get checked for miniturization and/or start taking finasteride. prevention >>>>> cure.

I thought maybe it was some different type of hair loss, won't make any friends being rude.

Erh, yes I've just been waiting for a damn specialist, it just takes forever to get into see a dermatologist.

Anyway, I tried taking vitamin b12 like a doctor said (wouldn't believe me) apparently "not balding" is still considered thinning all over and getting a thinning widows peak :hmmm:

It actually made my hair fill out again, but I'm sure it's male pattern baldness as the pattern is pretty close to that.

I was really on the fence for finasteride for a long time. I was going to take it for sure anyway, but now I am not sure.

I am pretty iffy about taking it, I wonder if their are long term effects even if you don't have noticeable side effects and if everyone at some point gets sides.

Oh, and I'm reading a book about the psychiatric industry, and I am waiting until I finish it to decide. I am really on the fence with the psychiatric industry, and so far, it honestly seems like taking drugs at all is bad unless it's for serious or things that can make you die.

Everyone decides this for themselves, but a lot of doctors see it this way too. I dont think most doctors like the idea of prescribing a life long medication for a cosmetic issue because they acknowledge there is a lot we dont know about internal drugs. Why chance it?

"I am really on the fence with the psychiatric industry, and so far, it honestly seems like taking drugs at all is bad unless it's for serious or things that can make you die."

Well yes, these books on pharmaceutical industry is quite startling.

It even mentioned Merck; and they were apparently involved in some seedy stuff back in the 40's-to50's

"Male pattern baldness is the common type of hair loss that develops in most men at some stage. The condition is sometimes called androgenetic alopecia. It usually takes 15-25 years to go bald. However, some men go bald in fewer than five years." There's hardly such a thing as a mature hairline then?

Look at your male relatives, father, brother, grandfather, uncle etc. to get a good look at what is probably ahead of you pattern wise.

 

[biddybomb]

definitely, i watch a show called antiques roadshow sometimes it has a lot of old people on the show. You see some guys with receded hairlines but despite that they are very thick and basically form a perfect line albeit slightly back at the corners. The vast majority of Caucasian men will at least experience that kind of recession. Its that kind of recession which is totally fine IMO, it might take a few years to accept the fact you won't have a teenage hairline forever (it did for me), but you can still have very nice hair even if you do have some recession.

The problem is in not knowing where you will end up, lots of undue stress and treatments for a hairline that you might die with regardless if you use treatments or not.

Of course trying to keep your teenage hair is fine too if that is what you want. There is no one size fits all solution its just the treatments leave a lot to be desired, and are just kind of risky IMO overall. They dont work well enough to even maintain a teenage hairline anyway in most cases. I dont think wanting to keep your hair as Norwood 1 though is wrong. Its just common that most men dont, but its still male pattern baldness in the same sense of the word
