End Of The Year Update - 7 Word Title

[hollow11]

So It's the last day of 2018 and i'm out here posting pics of my receding hairline. Since I can't evaluate myself properly (think im like NW2 at the moment or maybe 1.5 on a good day) , i'm asking for the opinions of you guys.

Huge album by the way: https://imgur.com/a/pngYiid

My crown is still pretty much fine. I've lost some density all over(my hair was insanely thick) but it's unnoticeable as of right now , with dry hair.
I used to wear my hair up, in some awkward stage between slicked back and just randomly messy. I lately find myself just covering my forehead because styling has become a bit annoying with my corners - >
I'm not on fina nor minoxidil.
Also i've been getting some of that nice inflammation on the corners in the last couple of days. Usually happens a bit before my hairline starts receding again. The blood is due to me scratching the area like a retard ->
You can also see the red circles all over my hairline in the album i linked
Here's pics of my uncle(mothers side, first pic) and maternal grandfather (2nd pic), dated from about 20 years ago. Same hair to this day.


I on the other end will unlikely have much of my hairline left in my late 20's. Soon to be 22 yrs old. Father is about norwood 4-5 at 50 years of age. His crown isnt that bad but hairline is practically non-existent.His brother shaves his head, but judging by the lines i've seen on him, i'd say he's NW3-ish.
Thanks for reading all this bullshit, feel free to cast your opinion and I wish you all hair improvement in 2019. Happy new year, folks! lol

Weren't you on minoxidil earlier?

Nope. I don't see it helping in the long run, plus only my hairline is taking a hit and I'd like to sustain it but can't get on fina (which isn't even guaranteed to do anything either)

Your hairline is fine dude what are you on about

I thought you were concerned about thinning since that's what I've noticed seeing your album, but again that might be lighting and / or wet hair on that second pic

So you are on absolutely no treatments? I dropped finasteride too but am still keeping minoxidil. My hair is similiar to yours right now. The only difference is my dad was nw7 at 22 and I take after his side of the family in terms of hair. Hope we both see minimal hair loss in 2019, may the norwood gods have mercy.

It's beyond me how you consider this a fine hairline lol

Its all about perspective. One mans nw2 is another mans nw0.

Hey man i just found this thread and I think your hair looks great. I’m surprised your derm still won’t prescribe you finasteride. is that accurate? did they actually disorganize you with male pattern baldness?

They did but no one wants to prescribe it for some reason. All 3 of the ones i've went to diagnosed me with male pattern baldness. My hair is a bit worse now, an year later, but I'm pretty sure I shed less so hopefully it slowed down a little.

Have you considered roman? It’s 20 a month, cut the pills in half for 0.5 and you’d pay like 20 every other month or so.

Not familiar with "roman". What is it?

It’s like an online ed and hairloss provider for men without insurance. I’ll be using them if I cannot get a finasteride script pretty much
