So I noticed I was starting to recede last year at Christmas. My hair was still pretty thick and I had noticed a lot of hair in the drain but thought nothing of it. It was starting to get pretty long and one of my cousins pointed out to me that I am starting to bald. As everyone usually does, I just denied it. That night I went home and looked in the mirror....I was balding. I instantly looked back at pictures from a year ago to compare. 3 months earlier I had no hair loss yet and you couldn't tell at all. It hit me like a rock. The next day I went to walmart and bought rogaine. Everything was going good for 3 or 4 months and then I got lazy and stopped applying it. I started back up at the end of June and it has slowly got worse. I have a TON of miniaturized hairs on both temples. They were pretty tiny when i first started rogaine but now they are about a inch or 2 long and blonde still. I can tell that its starting to go further back because my hairs at the very peak of my temples are starting to get blondish and shorter then the rest. Everything has accelerated very quickly the past few months. I have been on propecia 1mg every day for the past week. I am also taking Xtend Life multivitamins for men and fish oil. I still have enough hair right now that I can get away with looking like I have no hair loss but the top of my head is very thin compared to the rest. You can really tell when i get out of the shower. You can see right through my hair to my scalp. I do have a bunch of blonde hairs still all over my scalp. I can see that they are just starting to miniaturize. Do you think that the hair on my temples will come back thick and my normal hair color?? The hairs are responding decent to the rogaine and growing longer just want them thick again.
A little background on my family history. My dad had aggressive hair loss very young. He told me that he lost most of his hair by 23. All of his brothers and sisters are either bald or very thin on top. My mom's side has pretty thick hair. My mom's dad was maybe a NW 2 when he died and her one brother is receding a little but he's in his 40's. I'm guessing I'm just more like my father(considering i look exactly like him when he was younger). I'm hoping I caught this early enough but I'm worried that it might be too late...any help??
