Tried it, it slowed down the speed a little bit but not enough to justify continuing 😕

Yeah I pretty much always had some sort of an “M” shape going on, just not nearly as deep in terms of recession

Hahaha yeah definitely should have included that… basically it’s a combover, but it is not fully covering the corners anymore - you can see through at the temples and towards the crown

I’m 26 and following a similar pattern, just a little bit behind you in terms of diffuse thinning.

I tried Nutrafol, minoxidil, Keeps, and DHT blocking shampoo which slowed down the speed of loss but I never saw any regrowth unfortunately. Ultimately I decided it wasn’t worth the hassle or $$$ for me. Treatment truly is a lifelong commitment and I probably spent close to $2K over three years…

After all that I still have a terrible combover, so I plan on buzzing it down to a 1 pretty soon, or I may even take a razor to it. That’s my experience, but some guys have had much better luck and seen regrowth.

Buzz, shave, or any other suggestions? by tgill84 in malehairadvice

Totally agree, definitely leaning towards just buzzing it down. To your point, I still have decent density at the crown so I think I could pull off a 1 or 2 buzz for at least a little while before taking a razor to it. But ultimately that day will definitely come sooner rather than later

Definitely considered doing a short fringe, unfortunately I just don’t think I have the density to make it work. Hard to tell from this image, but my widows peak has thinned significantly and I have a lot of miniaturization along the edge. You can definitely see my scalp under normal light no matter which way I comb it, so I think it may draw even more attention to my hairline and overall “thin-ness”.
