Everything's still A-OK down there, just some watery semen. That doesn't bother me, really.I'd take finasteride but I dont want my dick to fall off.Comment

Looks good!!!
Your hair looks a lot like mine does. When you shave it down below an inch you can really see what norwood we are heading to.
Your top is slightly thinner than the sides. I cant tell what norwood you would be but it doesnt matter now
I disagree with the other poster. I have been taking biotin and I can see my hair has become thicker and stronger. It doesnt grow hair but my experience so far is it strengthens the hair you have.Comment

I thought this was a neat comparison picture --
Left image is @ 19 years old. Right picture was just taken (36 yrs. old).
Left image was a professional photograph (color negative, paper print), right image is 4MP digital (I'm neither as red as right, or as white as the left).
The right picture was scaled in an attempt to meet the proportions of the left picture for comparison. Left picture is a "picture of a picture", taken with the same camera as the right picture.
There is very little hairline recessions, IMHO. If my hair was the same length as the left picture, I think it would be very hard to tell.
My problem is obvious extreme and diffuse shedding in a NW6 pattern. A small FUE in the frontal area would probably bring the right picture into parity with the left, in terms of the hairline.

Hey. You and I are in the same boat basically.
From the pics you just put up I dont even know if I do a hair transplant but I definitely do whatever I could to stop the thinning.
I just started on finasteride two weeks ago and I feel no side effects. Fin stops your body from converting testosterone into DHT which is what kills the hair follicles.Comment

I wouldn't do any transplant now.
I'm doing whatever I can to stop the thinning on the top. Two months in is still to early to assess -- I understand. My posting are really me "thinking out loud" and documenting any progress.
Really, in person, my hair looks 999% better than those pictures. The camera is brutal.

JDuff you are NOT a Norwood 5-6 ..your hair looks DECENT. I AM between a 5-6 currently. Competitively, your hair is still in good shape. I feel that any GOOD HT doctor would not yet consider you for a transplant.
The panic is unnecessary my friend -your head of hair looks A-OK.Comment

you are a norwood 3Comment

Possibly -- but how did you come to this conclusion?you are a norwood 3
I've seen other ppl. here claim NW 3 that are an order of magnitude worse off.
The NW scale seems to be based mostly on frontal recession -- mine is very minimal. My problem seems to be diffuse shedding all over the top which the NW scale really doesn't address.
I would say NW2, but I know it's hard to judge one's one hair loss.Comment

What do you think the chance of going from NW3 to NW6 is in my case (on Fin/Minox) in a matter of years.which is why diffuse thinners can go from nw3 to nw5-6 within a matter of years.
While I just recently noticed thinning, it might have been happening over a long period of time (my hair was considerably longer until I shaved it and noticed the problem).
It just seems crazy to me that it's happening @ this age and all of a sudden.Comment

When I look at my hair, I just don't see this:

Why I don't necessarily agree with the NW3 assessment -- I have hair in the purple area on this NW3 illustration:

This is not the case in my hair loss so I disagree with the NW 3 assessment --Classic Norwood 3. The left and right hairline is basically parallel to each other. Recession is very deep.

If your on fin and it's working then your not going to get worse. You'll probably remain the same. Possibly you will regrow some hair. Minox might help make it thicker. If fin doesn't work then there is always DUT/Avodart. I haven't heard anyone say DUT doesn't work.Comment
