    Default Do i need a hair transplant?

    http://s1115.photobucket.com/albums/...rtingToRecede/

    here are some questions i have


    1. I was wondering what i am on the norwood scale?
    2. Should i start propecia?
    3. If worst comes to worst how many graft hair transplant do i need?
    4. I heard some people say it is not good to get a hair transplant when you just start to lose hair.. why is that? I am a noob so excuse my dumb questions.
    5. Does propecia help with the frontal or does it only thicken up the vertex?
    6. I used to cut my hair short all the time now im afraid if i cut it bald people see how badly i am receding. Any advice is appreciated fellas.
    7. If i just let my hair stay relaxed when it is long or even pony tail it when it is long it is not that noticeable. The only time it is noticeable is when i pull it back and take a picture like i did below.
    8. Do you think the fact i pull my hair back really hard makes my hair looks more recessed than it is?
    Here are some of my photos... if you guys need clearer shots let me know or if any experts want to see me via skype let me know as well through pm i will shoot you my skype. (no homo)
    9. Do i have a "maturing" adult hairline... is that just that a myth. I see plenty of people with really low nice hairlines ::envies;:: when they are in their 30s and 40s. any insight is greatly appreicated!

    Why would you need a transplant if it is only noticeable when you pull it back to take those pictures?

    How old are you?

    A hair transplant would be out of the question for your minimal hairline recession. You can check with a hair loss specialist to see if your hair is actually thinning or not. Having surgery this early could cause you all sorts of problems down the line. Just enjoy the hair that you have and keep an eye on things.

    I wasn't just trying to make you feel better when I said that you have a great hairline. IMO what you have is superior to a juvenile hairline, and you still have those styling options available to you.

    Your hair looks fine like this. Often times, however, men with longer hair such as yourself are only seeing the front (which by the way, looks fine to me), but when you cut it short, you might find out that in fact you are losing it on top as well.

    If you are truly worried it means one of two things, either you are paranoid, or you are seeing serious deficiencies in your mane. My advice is to buzz your head, and put to rest if you are losing hair or not. And proceed from there.

    If you do take my advice, take pictures OUTSIDE in the NATURAL LIGHT.
