I have exactly the same problem. What options have you decided to go with?

Thankyou Dr Rashid, I have made a few appointments and will see what happens, Its been this way for the last few years (Im 36)

Hey bham1, at the moment Im waiting to have a few consultations. A hair transplant is definitely an option to restore hairline density but to be honest if its going to be crazy money Ill just shave my head/change style for the time being....

Fin / min seem to work better for younger patients. Your hair is fantastic (albeit thinning a bit), I wouldn't shave it until it gets really bad. If your worried about cost an normally keep your hair longer, FUT is considerably cheaper than FUE as a transplant technique.

Why not trying finasteride? It is more affordable than a hair transplant. Moreover, your hair still looks normal and it would be great if you at least stop the hair loss.

Ive read many conflicting views across different forums about Fin and frontal thinning?
Looking at photos my hairs been this way since the early 30s, Im getting my haircut so I can style it forward a bit more which I imagine should help hide some of thinness!
I have consultation in Bristol next month so will update accordingly....

Thanks for the kind words!
Ive read that Fin/Min is better served on the young uns, Im turning 37 soon!
The money side isn't so much an issue just that I dont really know if I can justify it to myself dropping ££££ into a transplant, that being said as its become more noticeable it has definitely affected my confidence.
If I go for it I'll probably go for FUE solely based on my own research, it'll be interesting to see what the various Dr's say
Cheers for the input
