    Default Hi, looking for treatment advice, pictures included, think I am a Norwood 2??

    My hairline is quite high and goes into a v shape and I am led to believe this may be a result of mpb. So for the past few months I have been using alpecin shampoo and my hair has seemed to get stronger and I hardly ever shed more than 10 hairs per day, but the shape of my hairline makes me worried, should I try fin or minoxidil? Any else also think alpecin is good, I hear people often citing it a waste of money..

    I was only really going to start on the big products once I was certain I was balding but I want to catch it early. I am also 27 if this helps.

    Thanks for your advice.

    Hairline, Shows the V shape (Widows peak):



    Corner again shows the v shape:


    Hair pulled back:


    And how my hair looks normally and styled from a distance so my forehead doesn't look quite as big here haha..:



    Thanks again.

    I'd encourage minoxidil before finasteride, to be on the safe side. Go for the foam and be prepared to shed.

    Yeah was thinking fin would be a last resort, will look into starting minoxidil.
