MPB or maturing hairline? (pics) please post your opinion.

Alright guys thanks for your help. Is there any hope to re-grow or restrengthen the miniaturised hairs - or are they 'doomed' if you like, haha.

There's more than hope if you get on the right medication. For example Finasteride+Rogaine. They are still there, visible. In fact if you get a low hair cut, it would probably look normal because the miniaturizing hairs would blend in with the haircut [if it's really low].

But yes of course, those hairs can thicken up back to normal. The sooner you act, the better. Don't wait until they are not visible anymore, it would be a pain to bring them back.

Where there is hair there is hope, always!

Some doctors might be reluctant to prescribe finasteride or dutasteride at your age. tbh the studies have not tested these drugs on men who were under 20 y.o. so there may be some level of unknown risk involved. However there are guys on hair loss forums 17-18 who have used these drugs with no problems so it might be fine.
Either way I would definitely start ketoconazole (nizoral) shampoo. Get a rx for the 2% stuff. Use it 1-2x every week, leave it in for five minutes after lathering before you wash it out.
Minoxidil (rogaine) might also help. However I have heard anecdotes of minox not working well on hairlines so I am a little unsure about it

I had a cousin that was bald by the time he was 20 if you feel you're losing your hair wait till next year and start taking Rogaine
