      If you have a hairline like this at age say 25, does that mean you're safe from the norwood reaper? I don't even have a widows peak yet, meanwhile people who go bald usually have one by the end of puberty.

        You could experience gradual thinning of the hair as you age, but if you don't even have a widows peak, then you probably won't follow the norwood scale.

        I've been using flaxseed oil and coconut as a scalp massage (1x morning 20mins, 1x evening 20mins) but my hair is still receeding bros. There's guys older than me with full heads of hair.

        How am I going to fix this? I want a gf but I look like I'm in my mid to late thirties.

        I just gave up. tried min and fin for a few years but hairloss continued. decided to just shave it off and be done with it. I'm also a manlet so I'm probably just doing to live like a monk for the rest of my life. I've accepted the fact that I'll never get a gf or get married or do any of that shit. it's a liberating feeling but also a depressing one. if you're tall and have good face structure that shaving it might not be a bad idea. otherwise take fin and min and see if that does anything for you.

          That's unlucky bro. I've been told to shave it but the back of my head is OK. Thinking of getting a transplant in Thailand this year if I can afford it. The back bit might save me.

          bruh it's over you need a heavy duty regimen not coconut oil and massage, since you are still young if you have hair around the norwood 5 area you could be a hyper repsonder and gain alot back depends if you have hair or it's slick bald

          Coconut oil has healing properties and its good for hair follicle stimulation. I've also read that sleeping with a wet towel on the scalp is good for keeping the skin hydrated. I'm going to try to recover from it bro, 23 this year and I won't be shaving it.

          How do you become a norwood 5 at 22? The fastest balding still takes like 5 years at least.

          I started thinning during puberty. I'm also around 360lbs at 5'9 so my diet probably wasn't the best to be honest.

            try castor oil atleast or rosemary or peppermint they work better you could use coconut oil as a carrier and leave them overnight if you really serious about recovering you need stronger stuff the oils i listed are one of the most effective ones, keep it with the massages rob from perfect hair health done a study proving they are effective look up his channel he got some really good info, and good luck my friend wish you the best in life my friend you deserve it for dealing with this shit this young

            Bro you are unhealthy as frick. Not saying this to be mean, but hair is way down the body's priority list and if everything else is fricked up your hair will be too. It's seen as a sign of vitality for a reason. Fix your fricking diet and you might see some regrowth if it isn't actually genetic. At the very least you won't be a fat slob.

      Same here, though not quite so late. Had full head of hair that I got complemented on at 33. All of a sudden every time I ran my hand through my hair or took a shower there would be hairs everywhere. Was incredibly surprising to me, as I thought for sure I’d be safe at that point with no hair loss. Thank god for fits hair obsession, I snapped out of denial pretty quickly and started dermapenning and minoxidil and that saved most of it. Even mid 60s is no guarantee. My dad always had a full head of hair even up to like 64 but after that he started getting significant recession and a bald spot.

        Anonymous

        No, no it does not. The hair that is NOT transplanted goes. The transplanted hair comes from regions of your head/part of the body that do not fall out. The issue is you get a hair transplant then after a few years the hair behind it starts receding. Then you just get that transplanted as well. It buys you a few years which is better than going on dick killing drugs. This however requires morons like you to save up for surgery, rather than adding yet another 'monthly subscription' : you know, netflix, discord nitro and fin.

      I have this exact same hairline, but it's been the same for years now with no thinning on the crown at all. It may stay like this for decades or it could potentially get worse. Keep a close eye on your crown, if it starts thinning at all or if you notice more hair than usual falling out when you wash it you have male pattern baldness. Right now it's just a mature hairline which isn't necessarily something to worry about.

        I thought hair loss tends to happens more often when your hair is greasy since it suffocates the follicles.

              I bought hair oil and it seems to give it moisture for a while. Light on shampoo, get one that isn't harsh on hair. Good moisturizer. Biotin supplements, not sure if they work.

              That's what I've started on.

        It felt brittle and dry because the individual hairs were thinner and therefore frizzier in appearance. It's not that the hair itself was any drier than normal. Simply that the texture of the hair was changing

          I mean my hair was never not dry though. The texture did seem to change slowly after puberty ended as the general appearance has changed, no hair loss though. So what should I do?

    I bought 120 tabs of fin, but I'm hesitant to use them because I'm not sure if my loss in hair density is androgenic or because I've been in a state of chronic distress since 2018.

    Then sometimes I wonder "why bother?"
    I literally talk to nobody and have been wearing hats all the time since before I even started losing hair density. Why even risk a 1% chance of becoming a depressed dicklet with gyno if I'm just going to be sitting in a room alone by myself anyway?

    Far as I'm concerned, if you're not getting crown thinning, frick it: just use rosemary oil and take what you get. If your crown is thinning, fin min STAT. I've always had a widow's peak and somewhat wide temples, and comparing to pictures from 2017 AND 2012 (highschool grad), my hairline hasn't moved significantly if at all-- but since I'm almost 30, a few people have commented on it (only as soon as I mention my age, though). Everyone I know who's actually bald has been fricked in the crown by 20.

    One of them has possibly almost all of his hair. Like, probably not even any thinning detected.
    He has regularly done cardio all through his life.
    One of them has most of his hair. He exercises, probably does cardio.
    One of them kept most of his hair until his health declined in his 50s.
    One of them worked outside, did a physical job but did not exercise.
    He was "just shave it" tier in his mid to late 30s.
    Without getting far into it and using four people as a whole sample - eating good food and doing cardio will probably do a lot.

      balding usually comes from the mothers side mainly. Also, having a basic 101 understanding of how genetics works helps. It could be they all carry the gene but it is only active in one of them due to it coming far enough up the family tree. Much like how a couple where both parents have blue eyes could have a child with brown eyes if the brown eye gene is diluted enough through several pairings.

    why does hair feel thinner as it gets longer?

  83. 1 year ago
    Anonymous

    When I was 19 my hair started shedding like crazy. If I pass my hand by it on the shower there'll be dozens of hair strands.

    I've been to like 3 dermatologists and none could tell if I was balding or not. Pretty frustrating.

    From what I read on the Internet, balding is when your hair gets thinner when regrowing, so it shouldn't cause shedding. But that's what is happening.

    4 years later and when I pull my hair back I can see that my left temple is receding. It's on norwood 2. The right temple is fine though.

    Sometimes I cope by thinking this is just my hairline maturing. But at the end of the day I know that I'm probably balding. One of the dermatologists said I was probably balding and offered a bunch of products but I refused. From what I read online you either get hormones with sexual side effects or you use a product that will hold your hairline for a while, but once you stop taking it everything falls off at once. No thanks.

            That's my educated guess too but nobody knows for sure. The dermatologists said that sometimes balding involves shedding. One of them did blood tests and found a big B12 deficiency that I never addressed (took pills for 1 month but didn't test again), maybe one day I'll look into that.

    At what point is it not male pattern baldness and just balding from old age? Cause my maternal grandpa is the only bald dude in my family but he started receding in his 60's.

    the only reasons to care are gay ones. Either you want to impress other men or you want to be a slave to what a c**t thinks it wants. Mines going, i dont care, she doesnt care. Everything is dying, its the natural order.
