19 with receded hairline

[Layercake]

dude...I was born with a widows peak more intense that your hair is now...and its lopsided to boot........ chill out....your fine, your hair seriously looks fine.
Your taking a comment made by a girl and blowing it WAAAAAAY out of proportion. take some finasteride, use some menoxidil and wait it out for a while. its all good.

While it is difficult to tell from the picture, it does seem like you are experiencing classical MPH.

But if that's the stage you are in now, it also means that you have a chance at saving more than the balding fellows who are well into their NW5 or 6. People here are giving good advice - get on Propecia (or generic finasteride) asap. You are right about finasteride not helping much on the hairline department, but it is said that further hairloss may be slowed or even stopped with it, so why not try to save as much of what you have now until a better solution comes along?

By the way, I am totally with you on your frustration. I started receiving comments about my bald spots and receding hairline when I was just 16. I'm 22 now with what seems like an increasingly aggressive balding, but I told myself to stick with Propecia+Minoxidil regimen, because who knows how much hair I'd be left with without them? Until then, I just hope for a breakthrough that can cure baldness once and for all.

Good luck to you.
