Honest opinion - I'm 16

[blackmamba]

I can take it just tell me which doctor to go to if I have mpb. My dad, uncles, grandparents all have full heads of hair.
I have a good amount of almond oil in my hair for the first two pics.

Are 16 or 17? I'm confused since you make multiples post with different information...And yes you crown is balding.

[blackmamba]

16 turning 17. One doctor said I have mpb and another said I don't ??

[milkman22]

Dude I just turned 20 and I was in the same boat as you when I was in the 10th grade, trust me just get on minoxidil asap... it will at least stop your hair loss if it doesn't grow some back. I started it when I was a senior and used it for a year and a half it didn't regrow any hair so I didn't think it was working so I stopped using it and that was a huge mistake... my hair fell out in clumps though my hair loss is bad I have curly hair so nobody has noticed

[blackmamba]

Can I get the minoxidil without a prescription?

i can guide you well i know how it feels contact soon
do u have straight hair or curly hair i cant make out form the photo

Consult your doctor about finasteride, the only medicine which works. Make a girl friend as soon as possible.

[blackmamba]

**** me my one doctor said I'm balding but he can't help! Another said I'm just fine and that in light all hair is like that. My parents tell me it's fine you guys say it's not. I split

[milkman22]

Dude trust me minoxidil will at least keep it from getting worse. Just don't stop whatever you do lol trust me I'm still recovering... I wouldn't trust finastride 1. Its expensive and it would be hard for you to get a perscription. 2 it will decrease your sexual drive

[skyguy]

yep i know how u feel same happened with me
the worse thing is i can tell u the future toooo
two years later ur hairline will recede and everyone will notice and they will do nothing (ur parents too)
at your back they will make fun that how u worry about balding head
CONCLUSION-- dont ****ing let them see your feelings just be CONFIDENT (otherwise u r gonna hurt yourself)

minoxidil may work but the thing is it just gives a boost to the present hair (but what about stopping MPB???uh)

finasteride works at its best (the only drug that will delay hairloss or stop) and there is avodart but its got more power and is only taken when things have gone really bad.

A TIP- its not about having full head hair, its about how u look so maintain the hairline and keep it dense by using styling products like hair wax and pomade. GO BALD in the smart way. Nothing can stop MPB as of now. FIN will delay it(still OK for me)

Downside for u-- 16 may be too early to try FIN but u can start it on your 18th bday ALL THE BEST

Upside for u-- u r not going to lose significant amount of hair in these two years so DONT WORRY u will catch it early

Here's my hairline. Hasn't changed I think

[blackmamba]

Thank you skyguy. I'll keep track of my hairline and crown before it gets too bad.

[skyguy]

you are welcome blackmamba
you are norwood 1 or 1.5 i guess

a side note -- u have straight hair so be careful while using minox
u may use minox at crown but at front it may look unnatural and weird
the minoxidil usually makes your hair unnatural but u will have long and thick hair
Tip--- start applying minox at crown first and see what happens then u can proceed to hairline

ALL THE BEST
