      I dont know, just keep an eye on certain hairs at the corners, I can remember seeing certain ones vanish years ago at the onset, they eventually gave up the fight and never returned, I had masses of hair and didn't think anything of it at the time.

      Do you even think you're losing/thinning then? If not, you may be lucky and keep it for a long time yet. But if you've seen gradual loss, you don't need me to tell you it's likely to get worse over time.

        I first noticed my loss in 2009, it went back in a spurt between 09/11 and now for the past 2 years it's been stable.

        I am not on any treatments.

        I am 27 now

        Older bro (1 year older) has the same hairloss pattern, he isn't thinning.

          This is the top of my head under very bright lighting.

          Sigh - this is why Aderans has pissed me off!

          Guys like me, who are just looking to maintain, are forced to live in fear.

              bit unnecessary

              but i don't think you should be worrying. You have so much hair. Even I have quite a lot of hair and often wonder why i spend time on this site. You have a lot of hair and you can style it...

                To be honest mate, my hairline means that I can only wear bangs. Which does not suit me that much. Ross gellar hair style is what always did.

                When it is windy/raining its a nightmare to keep my hairstyle in place.

                I'm pretty frustrated because I would happily restore my hairline (straighten it out) if there was a decent product on the market that maintains. I have high hopes for histogen and only really check this section of the site.

                It's been 10+ years since propecia came out. I can't believe there is nothing better out yet.

                Edit:

                Last night when I was out, I heard my friends make jokes towards bald people. It was terrible hearing it.

                    You should be jealous of the guys that have 0 hair loss.

                      funnily enough i actually prefer to wear my hair forward rather than spiked up. However since I have started receding (albeit slowly and not aggressively) I can't really style it forwards or up as I'd like. I find there's too much of my temples showing which I don't like.

                      If I was confident that an effective treatment would come out in say 3-5 years I would probably get a transplant for the front. If Dr Wesley's pilofocus proves effective I may go for that. But the uncertainty of not knowing what the future holds, in terms of my own loss and market releases, worries me. I am hoping Nigam is on to something but the more bad pics I see the more I am disappointed.

                      I really think in ten years we will have some effective treatments and hope my hair does hold till then.

                      The fact that your mates made bald jokes in your presence should show you that noone can notice your own loss.

                      Are you UK based yeahyeahyeah?

                        Yes, like you I am waiting too see how Dr Wesleys treatment pans out for exactly the same reason.

                        Like you too, I am hoping that my hair holds out until better treatments come onto the market.

                        I am also UK based.

                        My friends don't really notice it, due to how I style my hair. But it was uncomfortable listening to it for obvious reasons. They were basically saying how people are looking ugly and old due to MPB.

                        That's my greatest fear, like those guys - turning into the subject of ridicule.

                          Seriously dude you have no reason to spend so much time on here. I don't think your problem is hairloss, I think that your problem is that you're obsessed with looks.

                            I'm starting to think I'm the only one that actually suffers from hairloss on this forum. YeaYea something is seriously wrong with you if that is seriously your hair. Maintain?? Dude you have a mop.

                            Wtf....

                              Are you fvcking kidding me? How can you spend as much time on this forum as you have hair? Youre nowhere near balding.
