I am 24 years old. It’s a bit shameful but I’ve started to lose my hair and it’s really bothering me. It’s hard to talk about it in real life because a lot of people see it as a small problem. But I started to have deepening hairline gulfs when I was 18… Unfortunately, I didn’t become aware of the problem until it was too late and I started taking finasteride when I was 22, I’m now on dutasteride (0.5mg) (by the way, I don’t thank all those who spend their time talking about unscientific ideas to scare people, whether it’s PFS, or stupid things like applying oil or whatever, I would have started finasteride long before without you). I’m now NW2. I also seem to have a larger forehead. Fortunately, it’s not so noticeable because I have long hair, so I let it grow to hide my gulfs. But it makes me uncomfortable. It really does.
So I’m thinking of doing a transplant in Turkey (because it’s cheaper). I don’t think I can spend more than 3,000 euros in all.
But I feel it’s still too early. So I’m torn between doing a transplant now or waiting. I’m afraid of several things. First of all, I don’t know what my transplant will look like when I’m older (50, 60).
Also, if I have a transplant, I’ll have to shave everything off. So I’ll have to spend 1 month alone with my very short hair. Right now I’m a student, but when I get a job, what will I do?
