Receding Hairline @ 17

Hey man sorry about hairloss. I'm 18 now and have been losing hair since 16 in my temples. I would be a NW2 or 3 if I had done nothing by now. Don't even consider not doing Min it's worked wonders on my hairline and creates lots of small hairs which gives you hope. I advice following in my footsteps which is detmaroll/Min until your 18 then fin. I was prescribed fin at 17 but made the decision to wait and think you should too. So far I've been on fin for a month and no sides.

As for mindoxil shedding.... It will happen or at least for me. But just remember shedding is necessary and that it seems it resets your hair cycle so it all sheds at once. Don't lose faith it will come back even if it's hard to believe. Our goal as young HL people is delay and maintain until a cure act now!

Yeah, one side of my hairline is a strong NW2 and the other pretty much a NW3. I have thick hair everywhere else.

I just want to maintain, so the twice-daily applications of Rogaine with its famous shedding phases didn't make any sense to me.

I've always believed that Rogaine is a last resort, Finasteride being the first. I also believe that Rogaine should only be used if you really, really need to regrow hair.

I'm not saying it isn't effective, I'm pretty sure that in your case it's better that you are applying it.

I'll post pics of my sexual escapades soon, don't worry man I got you.
