    18 year old male, I think I might be going bald :(

    I've had soft and thin hair ever since I was a kid.

    I have a big forehead, natural widows peak, and a cowlick on my hairline

    So yes, unfortunately I have those three combinations.
    I'm currently 18 and I originally had my hair parted to the left, changed it to the right around 6 months ago and then I changed it back to the left like 2 weeks ago and now I have two part lines

    Here was my hair around 6 months ago: http://imgur.com/a/eCV9g

    I decided to grow it out around september: http://i.imgur.com/wVMCOtd.jpg

    but then i cut it last month (got a number 2 fade) and this is what it looks like today: http://imgur.com/a/dP4VJ

    The red circle is my cowlick.

    So, am i going bald or what? how long do i have left until it looks really bad? Also, I used to drink a lot of caffeine but i stopped. I used to see around 20 hairs on my pillow and now i see around 1-5. is there a chance that it could grow?

    My current routine: I shampoo my hair twice a week and i condition after that. I also condition my hair once a week without shampooing - so, twice shampooing, and three times conditioning each week.

    Here are the shampoo and conditioner that i use: https://www.amazon.com/Shea-Moisture...0038TVHGG?th=1




    sorry about all these questions, im just really scared.

    Hey bro, yes you're going bald. I started experiencing when I was 20. I've got help for you so don't freak.

    STEP 1. See a doctor and have them prescribe you finasteride. (don't worry about your junk not working. it's very rare)

    STEP 2. Start saving up for a FUE hair transplant procedure. You'll need one in 5 years and it will cost over 10 grand from a good surgeon. It leaves no scar and it will work!!! You can even buzz your hair and the new hair will grow back. There's financing at many places too. There was for me at my Doctor's.

    Good luck!
