generic Proscar quartered daily costs about 28 dollars per year at Walmart. Get it and save your hair asap. Wait a few years to see what is does for you and consider restoring hairline after mid-twenties if preferred.

well I only noticed my receded temples when someone pointed them out to me, but when I came across old pictures from when I was 18 now I am clued up on the balding process I noticed even since back then I had miniuatirized hairs along my hairline

How long you keep your hair depends how you react to the drug: Some people can develop sides effects or it only slows their loss for a while, whereas others can get regrowth and stabilise their loss for significant amounts of time. I was one of the lucky ones having regrowth and have stabilised my loss for 7 years now (and hopefully for the rest of my life!).
Your hair looks in pretty good shape although it is a short haircut; my hair is fine and I was balding fairly rapidly at a young age so I was surprised how well I reacted. I would suspect you will be able to stabilise your loss also but who knows just have to wait and see

I started losing when I was 18 and I would have been at least norwood 3 if it wasn't for finasteride (which I would now consider if I were you).

Yeh I just started on propecia now how long do you think I can keep my hair?
Also my crown shocked me massively as when I look at it through mirrors I see no apparent thinning but when I took the pic I was very surprised and shocked
