Hi guys,
Im a 20 year old asian male with thin hair. Last year i had buzzed my hair down to a 1 grade expecting it to grow back how it was before (thick) but it didn't. Although my hair is still there the diameter of the hair is decreasing especially in the temples and crown. My hair feels as if it's getting thinner and thinner each day. I've been told that this is completely due to genetics as thinning hair has come from my mothers side of the family while my fathers side has thick hair.
Im keen on taking finasteride and possibly doing SMP but i don't know how to go about it. I heard taking 0.25mg a day and seeing if there's any side effects is optimal then increasing the dosage if there are none. However, my dermatologist gave me a list of tests i should do to monitor levels of testosterone, DHT zinc and so on.
Im also looking into hair transplants for the near future as i've been told i have good donor hair in the back of my head, beard and body.
Also could anyone tell me what norwood im currently at and potentially what kind of pattern i have so i can expect the worst?
Thank you
