Hairline receded and stopped

StableButWorried · Nov 7, 2011

At 19 my hairline receded from a nw1 to nw2 and stopped, had very mild regrowth in temples from 0.5mg dutasteride and 15% minoxidil 2x daily. Haven't been on any treatment at all in 14 months and I haven't lost anymore hair and I shower daily with generic shampoo with absolutely zero hairs in my hands/soap after vigorous rubbing.

Am I in the clear as far as my hairloss situation? Opinions?

Would like to hear of anyone else who has been in this situation.

Its called a mature hairline.

Well, thank you for the response and I hope you are right.

I was curious if anyone else has been through a similar situation and still incurred a great deal more hair loss/thinning after 2 or 3 years of no treatment. I want to know cause i will get back on treatment if need be. I hate the unknown. I'll be 23 next month if that makes any difference.

I started propecia when I was twenty-three, used it for three years and stopped cold turkey due to lower libido. Im now 34-yrs old, hair line has held up pretty well in the last seven years and now it has started to recede again. Hairloss can be start up/accelerate again in future years. Im proof of that. Im back on the propecia at .25mg dosage per day to see if I can avoid these freakin sides. Good Luck!
