18 year old with possibly a receding hairline

Thanks everyone. After researching the sides of fin I am a bit against taking it but I heard good stuff about something called saw palmetto and beta sorstial can any one vouch for that?

hey bro,

you might just have a mature hair line. I would get an appointment with dermatologist to make sure it isn't mpb. If you do have MPB, then get on minox and nizoral. Don't listen to these guys telling you to take Finasteride at AGE OF 18. You are still developing, last thing you want is a drug that will effect your hormonal levels. I wouldn't recommend you taking finasteride until you are atleast 21.

Dude. Fin at 18 is nothing. You need DHT to have a successful puberty, this guy is not going through puberty @ 18
Unless he had a very unusual hairline by nature then he is balding, i nfact if you look at his forelock it looks like the frontal hair are miniaturizing. If he waits 3 years to take DHT inhibs he will be screwed
He is doing the exact right thing, catching it early enough to make a difference & getting info on how to treat it

About those small hairs. I might be wrong but I think they are growing longer

Probably. But the concern is not length it is thickness. Hard to tell in the pic but they seem wispy. Cut 1 of them near the scalp (do not pull it out), then cut a piece of 1 hair from farther back in your forelock where it looks more dense/healthy
I almost guarantee you will see a huge difference in the quality/thickness of the strands

The best hair transplant surgeon in the world could not make a diagnosis based on that photo. Go see a professional and start meds if you need them. You'll be fine. The meds work great when started early.

I cut one of the hairs near the scalp and one further back in my forelock and I can't really see much difference but one wierd thing is under my fringe the hair is lighter then my hair everywhere else :\

If you are unsure if you are losing hair, then see your doctor. Being in denial can be a huge waste of time. You don't want to waste time in the fight against hair loss.

Saw palmetto or supplements with saw palmetto in them wont do crap for your hair.

Thanks for the advice but surely saw p is worth trying before fin, I have nothing to lose

I have nothing to lose

Hair
Saw palmetto will not work unfortunately

Hmm that sucks it seemed a good idea to try it to see if I get any results before trying fin as a last resort, most if the sides don't worry me but I've read it can cause high grade prostate cancer and male breast cancer is that true?
