Please Help!! Am I balding bad??

[StuckInARut]

It seems like it bothers you more than it bothers him. If he doesn't care about going bald why should you? For the record I really don't see anything concrete to say he is balding for sure. Perhaps if he's up to it get him to see a dermatologist and get a professional opinion.

Okay!! Thank you so much for your input! Now what is finasteride? Can this be found at a local cvs or is a prescription needed? Lol ya I told him I needed some pictures to put up and he refused to have his face up on the internet, but then i found another picture on my computer and thought the more the better

Finasteride inhibits the production of DHT in our body and, for that reason, should be discussed with a Doc. The role of DHT in the body is not fully known, but we do know it is responsible for Male Patterned Baldness. He'll need a prescription, unless he is willing to order off the internet -- another incentive to see a doc. Regardless, since it's a long-term treatment with potential sides, I would strongly suggest just talking with a processional and reading the literature to see if it's something he'll be into.

I had a doc confirm it was MPB, and then took treatment into my own hands. If he wants to do this, there are a few reputable on-line pharmacies.

looks like a mature hairline but could be mistaken if its still receding

The crown and hairline are visibly thinned out. Luckily, it appears he is still in the early stages. If he's not scared, I'd say he should hop on finasteride and try to maintain what he's got. Also, his head shape looks good, so if he has to go the bald route, he should be fine. Diggin' his current hair style as well -- that's how I get down.

Also, I kind of lol'd that you went out of your way to hide your face in the first 4 pictures, then just didn't in the 5th. Whoops.

I dunno, I'm not so sure. I see nothing wrong with his hairline. His crown looks a bit weird, but it's really hard to say. A lot of people with thick and darker hair have a more visible crown. Based on these pictures it's hard to give a conclusive answer.

My boyfriend is 22 years old and refuses to believe he is balding so I am posting this here to see what everyone else thinks. I really care for him and want whats best so I think he should see a specialist right away to see if they can stop the balding but maybe it's just me. His father went almost completely bald at 18 but his grandparents both have a full head of hair. I'm really concerned and want any feedback what so ever! Please any criticism helps!! thank you so much!!
