Attached are pictures. I'm 25. I never noticed any hair in the shower or anything, the only time i notice it is when I use American Crew Fiber to style my hair which I use pretty heavily and assumed I was pulling on my hair with a strong substance too much.
After looking closely over a haircut a few months ago I noticed it appeared thinner in the middle area. I usually style that area pretty heavily so was wondering if that was it, but haven't seen much improvement since trying to be more gentile.
I've been told my multiple hair cutters that they thought I'd keep my hair for a long time without me even asking...although maybe they tell everyone that.
What's weird is, I don't seem to have hair thinning in the patterns I see online when googling MPB. My hairline seems (to me anyway) as good and as strong as its ever been, and the "epicenter" seems to be 3 or 4 inches in front of the back of the head area where MPB seems to strike first as well. The worst part seems to be slightly in front of the top of my head. Note, this picture is also taken with a flash and with a darker area it's obviously much tougher to see.
I work in a career where my looks are very important over a period of time. If this is the start of MPB should I begin a rogaine treatment? I've heard those are short-term fixes, though and after a few years rogaine stops working, and didn't necessarily want to pre-maturely treat now when it's not noticeable (unless standing directly above me), when perhaps it would be better to wait until any results become more visible from a natural viewpoint. Thoughts are much appreciated.
