Default 24 Yr old receding temple hairline.[Pics]

This has been going on since the end of 2010. It's look almost the same maybe a little bit worse.

My Dad is not bald. He is in his 50's and just has got decent hair. His hair looks like mine now. One of my uncles from dad's side is bald. But, All the folks from mom's sides got some decent hair for their age.

But, im starting to hate this hair loss. Will look into some transplant after 2-3 years.

You can still overcome this, try using the big 3.

Nizoral 1%: twice a week

Rogaine: am/pm

Propecia/proscar: everyday

here are some link inspirational link you might want to look at.

That looks good. But, I hear people talking about side effects of using these meds? Is it true?

Yes, they are side effects with Fin but you might not get affected. The first 3 months while using propecia my penis didn't want to function well during sex but I was able to manage with a dirty mind and pleasing with myself but it went away after that and I'm better then normal. Propecia works but the down fall is that you might be affected by the side.

If you have the money then more power to you but keep in mind that hair transplants doesn't come out like want too. Do some research first and see which doctor is the right one for you. I've never experience a HT and probably will never will but they're knowledgeable people that experience it on this forum, Just don't be afraid to ask. Good luck.

You are still very young and have a pretty good head of hair. I do see the small amount of thinning/recession in the hairline, but doing some preventative maintanance for while it is not a bad idea. The option to have a hair transplant will still be there later if you decide that is your best option.

I'm no professional, and hardly an experienced individual, but banking on HT for the future seems like an unnecessarily expensive route to take if you can do preventative things now.

Have you considered some non-pharmaceutical approaches to prevention?

I'm worried as hell to have my libido messed with by FIN but goddamn the results and price make it so tempting. Idk man, let me know what you decide, you're in the same position I am

That's not how hair transplants work. You have a limit amount of donor hair. If you have a HT and continue to lose hair then you're screwed basically.

You NEED to stop your hairloss before a HT becomes a serious option otherwise the transplanted hair remains and what's behind all disappears.

Side effects on fin are very low, and almost always temporary - resolving themselves with continued consumption of the drug or stopping.

Your response is appreciated. Where should I scoop some up from? What taper regime should I do? Seems no one wants to give a straight answer for fear that an individuals would be irresponsible (not a totally unreasonable fear.) I have a heavy science background - I won't ignore biology/chemistry.
