my hairline pictures at start of FIN

[mpb47]

Recently restarted fin (on low infrequent ramp up dose) and wanted starting pics to hopefully show later progress.

Both sides have been receding again, but a lot more on right side for some reason. In that pic you can where part of my scalp is getting shiny and kind of bumpy. This is new and wondering if anyone else has this or knows what it is?

Even with minox it has really gone back over the past year-that is why I believe you can't depend on minox for the front- at least not for any length of time. I once had really good results with Fin in the front, so hoping I can get lucky again.

What NW stage do I have ? Thanks...

3A/4 maybe (just a guess) How are things at the back?

Vertex thinning as well though minox does a better job back there.

That is when I first noticed it , but when I was 14 going on 15 I got a haircut by my mom's stylist. At the of end of the cut she called my mom over and told her I was starting to recede at my cowlick. I don't think my mom believed her so maybe 14, 17 for sure.

so in 20-30 you've only receeded this much? This has to be the slowest MPB ever

Yea for around 30 years now.

Well it initially receded then just stopped. Around 30 or so it started up again. Only this time it started to creep back and thin as well. Vertex around mid late 30's.


Bad thing about the slowness is you don't think anything is happening and then it kinda of sneaks up on you.

I mentioned this in my intro post.

When I realized I was losing my hair in October 2011 I looked back through photos and the oldest I had digitally available immediately was from December 2007 and yep. Now that I know what I'm looking at, every single picture since then I can see the progression.
