There are no hairloss treatments.

[yeahyeahyeah]

Yeahyeahyeah, or i'm just gonna call you Triple-Y, name is too long. Anyway, your hair looks good, and I see you're lifting your hair to show your hairline. Last time I was doing that, I was a teenager. I'd wish to have enough hair on top, that I could cover my receded hairline.

Hey, thanks everyone.

Yeah noticable when I lift it up. I think I will put off taking propecia for now, given it is extremely slow pace MPB - if it is. Hopefully better treatments will be out in a few years.

I keep my hair short now, can't really grow it out anymore because it clumps up in the middle.

I feel for you patiently waiting, I mean I am fretting over a tiny bit of recession - must be difficult for you.

How old are you and was your hairline recession similar to mine?

My hairline has gone back though.

I just hope it holds out until better treatments are out.

I am not on fin, so I guess ths is a positive sign...just using toco 8, organic shampoos, and now niz.

If say I did get FUE, would I avoid scarring?

It's gone back just a liiiiiiiiiiitle bit, it actually isn't really that noticeable. You have really thick hair. I have a receding hairline and thinning hair at the top, plus AA.

[yeahyeahyeah]

yeahyeahyeah; Sorry if this is harsh, but quit whining bro. You're not even really balding. NW1.5 maybe.

Was told I was NW2 by hasson and wong

yeah at the risk of sides right

No side effects for me. 1 year and a half.

[yeahyeahyeah]

If you're consistent, Finasteride and Rogaine/or Minoxidil Foam, would do your hair pretty good.

My hair certainly has not gotten worse while on Finasteride. I wouldn't say it has gotten better, but it stopped my hair loss.

Well I tried to post some links to another forum about the topic but it blocked the url. The forum is hair restoration network .com There are a lot of negative views of that forum on this site, but as most are transplant patients almost all of them are on fin so you can get some good feedback about it. Type "1 mg 3times a week fin propecia" and "propecia" with the poster as spex and you will get some good posts about reduced dosage.

[yeahyeahyeah]

I was just talking about people on the forums. Search around here and other forums. Search for posts by spex I know he has a thread talking about starting gradually for people who have had sides and I think it has worked for some. I have seen people taking 1mg but only three times a week, also seen people taking .25mg everyday. Not sure which country you're in but if you do get on Fin cheapest way is to get 5mg generic proscar and cut it. My pharmacy price matches Walmart here in the states so I 4 months supply for $9.

1mg 3 times a week - is that effective?

Your hair looks pretty much the same to me in both pics. I don't want to sound like a d*ck but I think you maybe overreacting a little. Your hair looks great. You hairloss pattern is not following mine. I never had as much hair as you have now. I was prob a NW 4 or so by the time I was 24. Things could be much worse. If you are really concerned I would look into Fin. If you are scared of the sides I know some guys are getting by with lower dosages.

Thanks greatjob!

I have been thinking about a taking a lower dosage.

What dosages are your friends taking? For how long? And what is their hair situation since starting fin. Did they maintain or regrow?

Cheers mate.

BTW greatJob or anyone else, have I lost any ground on my hairline since 2 years ago, cheers.

[yeahyeahyeah]

Those pics do show some recession, but your hair is still great. Fue is going to still leave some scarring in the donor area. If I was you I would not get a transplant your hair is amazing. I would get on Fin though. My biggest regret was that I didn't take it sooner. I started balding very early, like 14yrs old, I contemplated taking fin when I was 19 but was scared off by the sides. I lost a lot of hair and I'm on Fin now anyway and have zero sides.

Sigh been trying to avoid fin, I've been hoping that my hairline went back a bit and stopped.

Sucks that there are no better treatments out there.

How long have you been on it? Did your hairloss pattern follow the same as mine?

I remember when I first started losing hair, I was told that losing hair at the front was normal and that all I was developing was a mature hairline, never been convinced.

Worst thing about this , is that I sm not even shedding - lost 0 hairs in the shower today.
