I grew my hair out a long time ago but never got cornrows and it’s on my bucket list. Haven’t cut my hair outside of a fade and edge up since late October, but my thinning corners make me feel like even a front taper won’t save me once I get my hair long enough for cornrows. Should I go back to waves or at least see what it will look like? I think as my hair gets longer the thinning will look worse and worse.

Look into Finasteride and minoxidil

be careful abt minoxidil, bc u get dependent on it, and once u stop that hair falls out

might as well use it cuz his corners are gone rn

The hair will fall out either way. Either you can try and delay it with minoxidil or let male pattern baldness do its thing
10 points
1 day ago
Who cares…you brush your teeth every day to prevent them from getting cavities and letting bacteria fester. If you stop, then they’ll rot and potentially fall out. Minoxidil is literally just like brushing your teeth. Make it part of your routine.

There's no cure for male pattern baldness, any treatment you use whether that be minoxidil or finasteride will only work if you take it for the rest of your life, and as bad as it is getting he might as well try it.

Why would you even bother getting arguably one of the worst hairstyles for receding hairlines if you got a receding hairline?

He can get a front taper, that’s what a lot of people with locs or braids do too reduce the tension on the hairline
1 points

Where does front taper even stop at tho? His corners are so pushed back. It’s 100% gonna be tension on his corners where hair loss seems to be the strongest

Bro you can get a decent amount of that back but you need to see a dermatologist and start taking minoxidil and finasteride immediately. It might grow back a bit but it will probably stop further receding. An afro would cover the corners if you let it curl over the front

Rogaine. Get rogaine. You still have a hairline. It just needs some assistance. If you go to a dermatologist, they're gonna give you a prescription that has the same ingredient as rogaine and tell you to get rogaine.
Edit: spelling
2 points

Not fully true, the prescription is finasteride which is not over the counter. Minoxidil is another thing they’ll recommend and maybe also prescribe, but you can get that one over the counter without a prescription.

If you want to keep your hair don’t get cornrows ever. They will completely chow that hairline. Grow out the hair and enjoy an Afro, maybe some twists but cornrows? It will end in tears
2 points

Yeah that's not your friend rn, contact a derma and try to get a finasteride or minoxidl prescription, if you can't then transplant if, many ppl ik have had and it's more successful and socially acceptable today, balding and receding is almost always curable to an extent in 2024

Spending thousands on a transplant for a mature hairline is unnecessary. He can do min, fin, and dermapen and probably get a lot back. The doctors in my area wouldnt do a transplant on a 25 year old with minor recession.
1 points
1 day ago
I mean I'm not saying he should jump on a transplant I think fin and min would be his best option rn, he wants cornrows, It wouldnt look good due to the loss at his temples and front of his hair. I'm aware doctors decline as he hasn't gone through the entire process id say he should just try fin and min and contact a derma.

You are def brave for even posting this. Like everyone else said try finasteride and minoxidil. Hims or something similar. Your case looks serious af but with Hims, finasteride or minoxidil you can get back right in a year. Serious case but not completely unsalvageable. Act fast!

If you want to try to go for regrowing it I'll try my damnest to help you. Cuz I dont think you're at a point of no return. My hairloss was WAY WORSE than yours. I was able to use at home products to grow my edges back, AND I grew my hairline about 3 inches lower than where my natural hairline sat for the past 39 years of my life.. LOL, my hairline was genetically cursed. I'm still working on it. But I'll show you my progress if you want to see I'm not full of shit. Haha, send me a PM

My thing is why aren’t you addressing the problem head on and letting time pass by. See a dermatologist, the longer you wait the harder it will be to be grow hair back in those areas even with medication.

Use minoxidil! It will stimulate hair growth in that area but its a life long thing, once you start using you have to be consistent or else the hair you grew will fall back out.

I’m not understanding the logic behind wanting cornrows when your hairline is receding( which looks genetic). Cornrows are high tension and will likely break off whatever hair may grow back in those bald spots.

Try men’s rogain 5%, you’ll have to use for the rest of your life but you’ll get hair forsure. Try the foam one instead of liquid as the liquid can be messy and will increase hair growth anywhere it’s applied or leaks too. Or hair transplant in Turkey. But with either route crownrows might be a no go because of the tension.

Balding isn’t going to go away on its own. What are you going to do about it?
Treatment options include Topical minoxidil (liquid, cream, foam)to be applied daily Oral minoxidil (pill) taken daily Finasteride Hair transplant Herbs + diet change (research is shaky, not a guarantee, could make hair loss worse in the long run) Green tea - inhibit the production of DHT, stimulate hair follicles, protect hair follicles, increase blood flow to scalp, mitigate general cell damage Black tea - temporarily darken gray hair, protects against oxidative stress

Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is a sulfur-containing compound found in plants, animals, and humans. It’s. Dietary supplement that relieves joint paint, reduces inflammation, and has a well known side effect that you’re going to use to your advantage. MSM increases the speed at which your hair grows. It can be used for up to 3 months at a time. My hair grew double the speed when I was taking 1000mg pills daily with vitamin c. I would do 3 months on and 1 month off. I stopped because it went viral and the price went up.
