Okay, I see some receding in the temples.

From what you listed, the only thing that is proven to fight male pattern baldness is Nizoral.

For a regular shampoo use something with no SLS.

Biotin, MSM, multivitamins are not known to slow down, stop or regrow hair in men with MPB. But for the the overall health of hair Biotin and MSM are good, and a multivitamin is good for your health.

You say you're trying to stay away from finasteride and minoxidil, but just know that those are two most proven hair loss treatments for MPB.

I can't really suggest anything else. Stay with Nizoral 2% and try a natural route. But like I said yesterday, waiting is the worst thing you can do with MPB. In the pictures you showed however, I don't see much frontal balding, if any at all but you say it has gotten worse now.

Hey guys,

Been receding hard recently so thought I should start posting and get in the know. Pics included are from a year ago btw so have lost more hair and receded since then. Thing is though, with a long cut I can still hide it and look okay. Would love to maintain!!

Been using Niz 2% twice a week to help with the itch/dandruff and in the hope it will fight DHT a bit. I have thick/coarse hair though and it really dries it out and makes it unhealthy. Shame as it helps with the itch a lot and does make the hair look thicker for a day or two. Should I consider Regenepure/Revita? And which is better? Bit concerned as they seem like expensive snake oil shampoos from reading reports on here... Also what is the best daily/regular shampoo?

Trying to avoid Fin/Minox for now due to the sides. I know Minox isn't too bad but apparently it only works for a year or two? What are the best supps to take? I've ordered a multivitamin with biotin but have read on here that MSM/some special vitamin E formulation (can't remember proper name ha) can help?

Thanks for reading. Any thoughts/comments welcome.
