Early signs?

full blown male pattern baldness just 1.5 months back.

How? Don't you comb your hair everyday? You should be able to notice you're going bald easily if you just look at yourself in the mirror. Posts on this website have led me being extremely paranoid lol.

I just noticed my hair on my right temple thinner than the rest one day and decided to shave it all off till the point it was thinning. Full blown NW2.5-3, Norwood 2 on the left side but it had been like that since 19 (21 now) so didn't bother. I am officially in the male pattern baldness range now. I have literally never had tons of hair fall out at once or have crowning or particular thinning (though now i do think my hair on top is a bit thin compared to the sides), so i never noticed and now its too late. Prolly better to just end it.

When my barber asked ME (!) how come I lost so much hair when shampooing. I was 14 I think.

I started to notice increased hair fall in the shower and all over my textbooks when studying. Took pictures to compare and saw that my hair line was ceeeling back. Got on Finasteride and haven't looked back since

So on average how much hair do you guys lose a day? I lose about 30-40, and like 10-20 in the shower I am so paranoid. I have small hairs on my hairline but I think those are there because my barber uses a knife to shave them off

Hairs on my work desk every day.

A lot of hair fall when shampooing my hair.

Could no longer style my hair with gel, to thin.

Every time I got a haircut it was because the sides were getting too long, the top stopped growing longer.

Checked my hairline, didn't even have to post picture to "Am I Balding" on reddit because I could see replies to guys with better hair than me of people saying "Yeah you're definitely balding NW2+".

then why are you on this forum?

my wife's mother was first to mention. It was 8 years ago. Worst thing is my front was and still is totally fine. The back of my head is a different story. I think having dark brown hair does not help...

Shed tons of hairs and got an insane itch that wouldn't even let me sleep well, hairs everywhere on the desk and books, noticed a balding spot in the midscalp the next year, horseshoe pattern is visible when buzzed, tons of blond hairs on the thinning regions, persistence itch.

But you know, it's just hair and I just have to get over it and be confident.

When my friend told me "dude, your hair is thin but you have so much of it!" In the following months after that wake up call I noticed an empty tiny triangle at the tip of my hairline andnknew it was over for me
