Am I losing hair? 19 Year Old Male
Ok guys, I'm 19 and this is my hair now.
My dad went bald at 30
My maternal granddad went half-bald at like 60
My paternal granddad went to the grave at 80 with a full head of hair.
I recently stopped wearing a ponytail because I thought it was pulling my hair a good bit.
One stylist told me I was receding and another told me nothing looked amiss and my hairline was probably alright. My family thinks all is well, too. Although, I see my scalp now through my hairline around my part, and I get the feeling that the small hairs around my forehead and temples should form some kind of symmetry.

You've thinned/recessed in the front. Talk to your physician about Propecia.

Ok.
Umm... I just noticed that most, if not all of my thinning seems to have come in at the left side of my hairline. When I look carefully at my right, it seems much more healthy.
The left side of my hairline seems to lack the small babyhairs that line the right, and I can see sharp, stiff-looking hairs poking through.
I can remember that when I had much longer hair (4 months ago), I would often pull tangles from that side.
Also, I often & almost always part my hair in that left side.
Any other words? I'm currently looking into seeing a derm about this. It may be a few weeks.

Just make sure you very carefully read through the side effects and accept that these can happen to you, and can be irreversible even after discontinuation of the drug. Just in general get educated about what you are going to do rather than jump into it and then find out Goodluck.

Never take Propecia. You are so young! Go see side effects. You will understand that it's not for you!

What may be viable solutions outside of propecia and Rogaine? Also, how sure are you that i have a recession going on? Im trying to rejuvunate the flyaways that make up the shaded region in my front left.

F*ck they nay-sayers of propecia, if you want to keep your hair it's your best shot.

If you want to stay a man, having childs, and keep your libido, NEVER take Propecia...

Aren't we all kind of tired of the bickering back and forth about finasteride? Lets put it this way - some worship it like it's a God. it has saved their hair and given them very little to no side effects WHILE some say it has made their dick fall off after one use, haha... you get my point. No more should people give such blunt advice like, "Never take propecia" or even "get on propecia ASAP"... We are all responsible adults. Consult your physician, be warned of all the potential sides and if you want to try it, start off at a small dose EOD and carefully monitor your self.
