Aw man, I do know the feeling. To be honest I felt just like you but then I discovered how awesome Spectral DNC looks O.O I am definitely considering it!
If you are Norwood 2.5 then you should be able to save your hair man. If you wanna go hardcore on it then Spectral DNC, maybe spironolactone, regenepure or Dr Lee's keto as a shampoo (depending if you wanna avoid SLS), maybe folligen too?
If you wanna go for the light approach then maybe DNC on hairline, RS all over, regenepure, I'm still trying to find the best natural/safer alternative to spironolactone (a spray or liquid).
That aside man CHECK YOUR HEALTH. I still stand by this rofl. If your T is too low that is bad, if your T is really high that is bad, if your E is too high that is bad, insulin, cortisol, TSH, all that, make sure they're all at good levels

Cortisol only really matter if you've been stressed recently or in the past though, to rule out adrenal fatigue and effects of current stress. Other than that erm.. phh.. inflammation? Don't eat too much inflammatory food, oh, get a food sensitivity test? I dunno man this stuff makes TOTAL sense to me even if I'm in a minority
Peace!

Oh, edit, if your health is perfect then just give stuff a kick anyway by adding cur & res, lignans, good multivit, omega 3, gotu kola etc to your internal regimen. People say other things are really good too but I'm still learning myself! I also love lipoic acid as I think it probably has a very large impact on insulin resistance.
