MPB at 18? Tell me bluntly, am I going to be bald by the time I reach mid-20s?

[Illusion]

It's definitely not overkill. But it also depends on how sensitive you are to the balding process. RU and Fin have different mechanisms of action. Fin cuts down DHT conversion while RU blocks receptor binding. Certain people are so sensitive to DHT that they still bald slowly on Fin. IDK how sensitive you are. If you are like 30 and a NWII you should be fine with just Fin. But if you are a premature balder, you probably need the combination.

Thanks for replying. I'm 17 and diffuse thinning (beginning thinning hair in nw5 pattern for now) with very slight recession. I figured I could use all the help I can possibly get and thus fin and ru could do it, but I haven't heard that many people talk about using fin + ru as a combo so that's what's getting me a bit nervous. Like I said, money doesn't grow on trees and RU is kinda expensive though it's manageable at this concentration.
