    Question My hair loss pics

    Hey folks, thought I'd post some pics of how bad my hair really is. I just wanted to ask do you think that it would be too late to start propecia or minox for it to be effective at this point? Or is it too far progressed?

    If you could of seen my hair 3 years ago, there is no way you think this was the same person, such is life eh! Also looking at the pictures, it seems like you can almost see where my Norwood pattern is going to end up, but can it progress beyond that point?

    Bear in mind this was with a flash on in an incredibly bright room, but yeah it is pretty bad, especially for my age.

    If you buzz it, then the thinness would not be that obvious. So maybe you could try doing that and keep some facial hair to drag the attention away from the head.

    Dude it is buzzed?? Maybe it's grown a little bit, need to re-buzz it I think. I always have facial hair anyway.

    Mines no different to that really, perhaps a slightly stronger hairline. I buzzed it, gonna buzz it grade 1 tomorrow and 0 on sides.

    But I can't give a straight up answer with treatment, tbh, if you're gonna do propecia its now or never. My view is shave the s*** down, get to the gym, live life and start treatment. Keep it buzzed and give it 1 year, if it's all shit and you get sides, **** it, you're bald, you tried, if not, then heyyyyy

    I don't know why it's diffusing so badly it started out with just slow recession. If propecia can help at this point I might have to give in to my worries about it. Started minox again but will it really do anything, only time will tell. I think I'm doomed here, I don't how long this will hold out for.

    Just how it is dude, mines exactly the same. Trust me the clipper is your friend. Read Kaymans posts on my wall, it makes sense. You're not doomed, try treatment, but do it sooner rather then later. You may or may not get sides. Minox will re-grow, but you have to keep at it everyday as is propecia.

    A buzz will let you cope in the day and take it on full on.

    Yeah...I've seen those pics before. I dunno man it all just feels hopeless at the minute, it's so aggressive and diffused that I don't know if the big 3 will even do anything for me. Like you say it 'might' do something. I don't know if it's even worth it.

    If I had your hairloss and was wanting to do something about it, I'd be hitting it with fin for sure. Also, I'd consider a 0 guard. I think as short as you have it now, you probably have a good idea if you're comfortable with your head shape. If so, I can't see a reason not to no guard it. Honestly, it's probably not too far off into the future that I'll be doing the same.

    No guard
    Weight lifting
    Cardio
    Ideal nutrition
    Sharp dress attire
    maintained stubble
    fin (if you're comfortable with it)
    Profit

    Best luck, homes.
