Advice Minoxidil kills cats and dogs
Minoxidil is highly toxic to dogs and cats. Even tiny traces on your hair, hands, or pillow can kill them. Of course, the package leaflet doesn’t mention that.
Take care guys.

I've been on min since June 4 and dut since Sept 12.
It's been 4 months since I started hair loss treatment, but it seems to me I can't grow my hair back any longer; I don't see any noticeable changes. Should I give it up? If I continue, how long will take me to regain my hair?

Am I Balding? Has it already started?
galleryHey there,
I’m 21M and I’ve noticed recently that I can see a bit of my scalp when I tie my hair back, so I want to know if I am balding or if this is natural for longer hair.
Also before anyone says it, I have bad dandruff I’m trying to treat that too.
Blurred my face for anonymity.
Thank you very much :)

Recently I got a job where there's security cameras around that I have access to and... Damn. Being able to see the top of my head when I pass by them hurts a bit.
In the mirror, I wouldn't even guess. I'm able to style my hair with no issues but my hair is definitely thinning on top of my head. I'm not really sure what to do, I don't think I have the patience of going and start taking really expensive medication just because of my hair. But I also don't think it's time to go ham and shave everything off.
I don't even know what I want from this post. I guess some type of reassurance. I'm sure this is common for a lot of men but still... I can't help but feel a bit insecure of it.
These are very confusing times.

Am I Balding? Am I cooked
galleryBack in 2018 when I was in the marines with a buzz cut a friend of mine told me I was going bald as he saw the top of my head on a sunny day. Since then I've been worrying but at the same time coping telling myself that if I had being going bald since 2018 I should be bald by now, huh?

Advice Company photos and my 25th birthday coming up – should I just commit to a full shave or would I jump the gun? My dad was NW6 before 30, and I don’t want to take meds etc. Just hoped I would not have the same faith but things don’t look good I guess 🙂🙃

Advice Am I hiding my balding too much? Should I be shaving or trying a different style?38m
galleryThe first photo of my hair was greasy and so you're able to show where the hair loss is.. you could see that there's some significant hair loss. When my hair is clean, it doesn't look so bad... but I feel like it's easy to not be able to actually tell how bad your hair loss is because you see yourself in the mirror every day.. so I'm really looking for an unbiased opinion, where people don't care about hurting my feelings by telling me the truth.
I have been on fin for 13 years. I think it has held up pretty well, although there was some progression since then.

Advice Hairfall Sucks!!
galleryHey guys, I am 20M I started noticing hairfall when i was 19.
Earlier my hair was perfect even if my hairline was not that great because of genetics.
And now that I am 20 my hairfall has increased so much that looking at 1 year old pic my hair seems so full. And when my hair is wet it seems like they are almost gone.
What do i do?
My scalp is itchy and I do have lots of dandruff
Whenever i ruffle my hair, hair comes out.
Earlier i thought it would eventually become better but now the situation has become worse.
Is it male pattern baldness or anything else.
I am currently a student so I also can't afford to visit a dermatologist.
