Is this male pattern balding or is this just a cowlick?

Distance from camera to hair...

In the pic you posted of the crown... I see a small bit of thinning.

Damn, seems like it's time for me to start on finasteride then.

Is this really the road you want to go down? Are you aware of he side effects? Are you aware that you might shed QUITE a bit for hair, before you see good results? Sexual side effects?

I honestly would not do anything... finish the army, grow your hair out... and then reconsider.

I know about the side effects. But isn't finasteride a 'early' prevention medication? So assuming if this is the starting stages of MPB I should start taking it now isn't it? I'm trying Alpecin shampoo as well.

Will post a few pictures of my crown when it's longer so we can all have a better picture in about a month's time. Then I will decide if I'm gonna take the pills.
