I can't see the pics either....
Dude, I am a year older than you, and was in the same position as you a year ago, and if I could go back in time and do things over again, this is what I would do...
1) Start shaving your head
2) Get blood/hormone tests, start on a low dose of fin
3) Start Minoxidle
4) Continue to research more about hairloss
In a years time from when you start your regimen, grow out your hair again and if you are at baseline, continue doing what your doing, if not, look into expirimentals.
I say shave your head as a first step, which may seem odd...but this is based on my personal experiance. I wish I had shaved my head when I was below a nw2, and it wasn't as noticeable. It'll take your mind of hairloss, make applying topicals much easier, and help you to determine if your regimen is effective and you can continue with it.

First, treat the dandruff rightaway. It can make hairloss even worse. Next, do some research on forums and consider taking Fin.

You are still young. I would get on rogaine. You can find generic minoxidil for cheap online. This is something that you can do even if your budget is tight. You are still young and still have a good amount of hair so I would try my luck with that. I would not shave my head unless I had a pretty bad shed. If you do it might be a good idea to buzz it short.
If minox does not work then I would consider fin.

One last thing I forgot to mention. Get yourself some anti dandruff shampoo. Use it every few days if you decide on minox. It will dry your scalp, but you can manage it with shampoo.

I think as a young guy it is a good idea to do everything you can to keep what you have. Fin & Rogaine - We tell guys to use the Rogaine foam and do it once a day instead of twice a day. But don't ever start two things at the same time - because if you have a problem with one or its working really well, you won't know which one. So start them a few months apart.

I made this mistake. I have been fighting hairloss for only about 3 months now, but I have tried quite a few things. I was in a different boat than many of the men on these forums. Many of them are just begining their battle. I have pretty much already lost the battle and am just trying find something that works because I really don't have much time left and didn't want to waste time trying to figure out which treatment works. Especially since many will need to be used for 6+ months.
