Hello all, I recently turned 21 and I noticed that my hair is seeming a bit more on the thin side lately. I still have quite a lot of hair left so I figure now is the time to act. I would like to try and maintain my hair until I am done with my education (I am currently going to be a senior in college but I do plan on attending grad school). I have done some research on the current treatments for hair loss but I still have a few questions.
Family History: On my mom's side, every guy has pretty great hair. My uncles are all into their 50s and there is nobody with hair loss more advanced than a NW 2.5 pattern and the density is very good all around and my grandpa was around a NW 3 with thin hair when he died.
On my dad's side, the hair is also pretty good with the exception of my father. Of his brothers, only one has a NW3 pattern of hair loss and nobody has a more advanced hair loss pattern. A couple of my cousins have slightly receding hairlines but none worse than a NW 2.5 pattern and the density is pretty good as well. My grandpa had fairly thick hair in a NW3.5 pattern when he died.
Unfortunately, the one person who got hit hard by genetics in my family was my father. He is pretty much a NW7 at 49 years old and he started losing his hair at a young age. Just goes to show how unpredictable genetics can be!
Anyway, I have to conclude that I am likely destined for a hair loss pattern similar to that of my father since I am starting to lose my hair so young and that doesn't often happen in my family. Thus, my questions about treatment are as follows:
1. How effective is Propecia for aggressive hair loss? (It seems in my research that it can be just as effective for aggressive hair loss but its effectiveness varies from person to person greatly. Thought I would ask anyway though.)
2. If I do indeed have the same pattern of hair loss as my father, am I a poor candidate for a hair transplant?
3. If I started propecia and it did halt my hair loss, would a respectable hair transplant surgeon perform a hair transplant in the future or would they refuse in case propecia loses effectiveness and hair loss continues?
4. I admit that I am a little apprehensive about propecia side effects. Would taking a smaller dose every couple days decrease the risks of a persistent side effect?
5. What exactly is RU and what is the most effective vehicle for it? hellrouser had nothing short of amazing results with it and some claim it can be more effective than propecia. Also, where would be the best place to buy it?
All help is appreciated! Thank you so much!
