Receding Hairline Advice?

[jamesparker]

Im 22 Im becoming paranoid about my Hairline. Im not sure what to do. Im currently taking Minodoxil 5% as of November. It seems to be working a bit. No major changes but it seems to not have go any worse. I want to go see a doctor about this and maybe get on a sort of medication. I hide my hairline well with my haircut. But I run track and still get embarrassed when it blows my hair in the wind and people can see my hairline :/ Some girls have even made comments about my Hairline I just want to stop it from receding any further. Please help and give me your feedback. Thanks.

Unfortunately there isn't a definite answer on how to bring back your receding hairline or stop it from receding. You can get a hair transplant, get on finasteride and use Rogaine. But fin+Rogaine isn't even a sure thing, an HT is. You could try fin+Rogaine and see what happens. People who catch their hair loss early and use finasteride seem to get the best results.

Yeah, do your research first and make sure this is something you want to do. Then, get on fin/minox/nizoral as soon as possible and hope for the best.

+1 to this. Take some time read the literature/empirical evidence on finasteride, to be sure it's something you're interested in. Do not go to propeciahelp or other fear-mongering sites for your information; You'll receive skewed/biased perception of the drug. But, you should be self-informed on the topic in preparation for meeting with a physician.

Again, if you're wanting to go the preventative treatment route, the earlier you start the better, obviously.

Your hair is way too early along to be even thinking about hair transplants.

You have a face that would look good even with a bald head, so don't worry too much.
