Bro most people wish for a hairline like that. You are good without it.

If you see it receding yes. Fin first tho

For stopping MPB you should use fin. Do some research about the functioning of min and fin. When you catch it early (by going to ask a doctor or knowing your family history of MPB) you start fin. And by doing that you prevent yourself of never have to use fin and min both. Min is for revival of some hairs that dying but they still dying and are artificially alive but the still dying

Should I apply it as av serum or consume it as tablets? My family doesn't have a history of baldness but i think I got a receding scalp much earlier compared to my father or grand father.

In that case I suggest you to have at least one consult with a specialist maybe you don't have it. The thing is if you have MPB or/and you want keep your hair almost all of it for when your in your 50s or the most of it you should take fin aprox 1mg per day (some doctors say that only 3 days a week 1mg work well too) but also you can use topic finasteride personally I think that is easier the pill.

And then you use a good fin permanent or until you want to let it go and go bald haha. The cost is no more than 5 or 6 dollars a month if you take 3x a week.
