r/malepatternbaldness

Found an old ID from work, i knew ive lost hair but i didnt realize just how bad it truly was. This was all within 3 years....yes there is a length difference but its so much thinner now

Help please ... Am I done ? Or do I have hopes

I'm 18m noticed i had a big forehead when i was 14 , since 2024 no big changes that i see happened besides a few missing/broken thin hair at the front of the hairline. What should i do? Do i get on minoxidil? Do i get on dht blockers?

Since 2 years hair shedding happened.....now I am seeing baby hair ....will it grow again to normal hair???

Hey all! I needed to make a post about this as I am getting kinda depressed with this situation, I used to have nice hair around 6 months ago and then I decided to move to Australia to live here for a while, since then I started to notice some hair loss, and looks like it went worse until now, actually I have thinning on the left temporal peak is moving back and also in my front of the scalp but isn’t that hard there, what could be causing all of these? I had also an issue with the hair thinning back in 2024 and after taking vitamins I was able to fix it, but not sure if that’s the case now, any advice l, what it could be? First picture is from 6 months ago, 2nd from two months ago and the last is from today, is that vitamin deficiency? Also the frontal density has changed a lot in the last month

So ive always have this on my mind since 14 yo thats when i notice i had a big forehead and now i'm 18, looking back at pictures of my forehead/hairline back in 2024 and now they look the same minus a few missing thin hair on the hairline but overall the same since 2024 untill now. So my question is should i get on minoxidil? Or dht blocker? My father and grand father both still have hair for their age but both of them don't have as big of a forehead as i do.

Maybe any suggestion/input?

I visited a doctor and he said I got grade 2 male pattern baldness he prescribed these medicines. I just wanna to know if they are effective and do they have any side effects

Hey guys, I am 27M and need some advice.
Lately, people have told me I look bald from the front and it's really getting in my head. I feel like I might be a Norwood 2, but I can't tell if I'm actually balding or if this is just a mature hairline setting in.
I've attached some pictures. Let me know what you think:

1. Is this just a mature hairline or am I losing it?
2. Should I get a hair transplant to fix the front?
3. Is there any other way to get this back before going for surgery?
   Appreciate any advice on what I should do.

Hi,
Im 28 and I have already had an Hair transplant but they told me I havent enough graft to take the whole vertex area and I use minoxidil too.
I would like to know if I use finasteride do that will finish the job on the vertex? And what are the danger please?
Thank you

Am I Cooked 🥲 it started to get like this after I broke my wrist . Is there anything I do
😖

Any tips are appreciated I’m honestly suprised at what results I have obtained. I assumed it was too far gone and it might possibly still be. Been bald since I was around 19. Figured I’d give it a shot anyway for the heck of it.

Will this grow back? Get worse? Should i grow it out to do comb over to hide? Second picture much worse. Going to dermatologist next week. Please help. Thanks.

I am genetically predisposed to have thinner hair on top of my head and I’ve had people in my family mention it’s time. Should I? I come before the council humbled and expecting the worst but hoping for the best. I can handle the answer no matter what it is, I just need people with no attachments to me whatsoever to be blatantly honest with me

Im 16 male with thick wavy hair. I get paranoid about my hair from time to time. I suffered chickenpox around 3 months ago which made me shed hair like crazy. It has gone down a bit. My barber tell me Im ok. Is everything ok? Thank you guys

Just turned 22, half a month ago. I was facing male pattern baldness since I was 16, hairline recessed very gradually. I didn’t give much attention to this issue until I get into college. I started topical minoxidil 5% along with 1mg finestride every alternate day at the age of 20 and a half.

Thinning has stopped since then. Overall Density has improved slightly as well because of finestride; I suppose. Unfortunately, oral minoxidil wasn’t working for me—I just found out that around 60% of the population doesn’t have the enzyme in hair to make it work.

Consequently, I switched to oral minoxidil 2.5 mg, I take a pill everyday. It has been 1 and a half month, waiting for the results right now (probably this is the reason density is looking bad currently because of being in initial phase of taking minoxidil). Thinking about taking finestride everyday instead of skipping one day, and getting a hair transplant after 25.

So, I wrote all this story just to ask, whether my planning of dealing with this balding good enough and at which of the Norwood stage I am?
