    Default How bad is this hairline, is it to late?

    Hi I'm 25. I've had a receding hairline for a few years. Am I in a good position to seek treatment?

    Thanks

    Mine looked similar about 2 years ago..I am 26 now. Right now i m on finasteride for 10 months and minoxidil for 5 months.. They might have worked on my crown.. But my midscalp and the hair line continued getting thinner...I wonder if it's minoxidil thats making it thin..I will still be on the meds though for atleast an year.

    So if ur thinning on crown too, then u can start using big 3 after consultation with a dermatologist.. Otherwise, may be u can wait and see if it's just a mature hairline. I am skeptical of their effectiveness on the hairline.. But again everyone is different.

    Is there some reason why you think you wouldn't be?

    What are your goals?

    To answer your question, sure you're in a good position for treatments.

    Your loss still looks quite minor, just slow recession, right? That's a good thing as it's harder to regrow than just maintain.

    Fin would be a good option for you, as it would help maintain and maybe thicken up the hair you have.

    Minox could possibly help with your hairline. I bet you can cover up the recession by wearing your hair down though.

    Good luck, mate.

    Educate yourself on side effects before committing to any treatment or combination treatments.

    You only have slight recession of the hairline. It maybe a little higher than you would prefer but still looks strong. You should start considering some preventative treatments.
