Thebaldone1 - haha, I wish! But unfortunately, I am balding. As I said, these are really bad representation of how thin/fine my hair is, so I don't blame you for not seeing it.Comment

HEy Ćelo, thanks for your reply. From looking at your earlier pics, and the recent ones. It is pretty obvious that it is working
.. I think if you add Rogaine to your regime , you will see even better results.
I have started using Rogaine about a month ago, and planning on continuing using it. Also getting my Propeica prescription filled in 3 days. Although I am planning on taking it at much lower dosage.
first week one pill a week , second week two pill and so forth. I think it might help to build some tolerance to the drug. Also I have added, a lot of proven aphrodisiacs food to my already pretty healthy diet. would not want to lose any libido now. As it is one the sides of being on propecia.
Anyways, hopefully this keeps working for you, and keep us posted.Comment

Thebaldone1 and others, these photos were taken fresh out of the shower, with the same phone and under the same light as my previous pictures, but in this case my head has just been towel dried. You can definitely see the issue
I didn't have any 'wet' photos posted so I thought I'd use this opportunity for tracking as well.

Hi there,
your photo shows difussed thining on the crown like me buddy. Dont sweat it, your not actually bald there, there is still hair so you can hid that perfectly with some toppik/nanogen (I use the latter but im in the uk, you might find toppik easier or cheaper to get).
Try youtubing "nanogen".
I would suggest you get some Minoxidil on that, but check with your doc re: blood pressure etc first, I got dizzy on that but had to stop, but my brother and friend are both fine on it.
Propecia is your other medical choice, however there has been a report in the UK that says medics cant rule out possiblity of it causing breast cancer in men plus it can cause deformaties in unborn children.
My advice is get some toppik, keep it looking this with that stuff, then once it gets to the point that the top is about to go and you cant hide it, get a hair system. That is the only two methid i know for realistically having a thick looking head of hair. Meds have varying results at best.
Hope this helps you chap, if not, send me a message and I will be happy to share my thoughts with you some more and or give you some more advice.
In the end its up to you which route to choose. You can always shave it off (i tried that too and it looked rubbish).

ERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR...... SORRY..... Propecia may cause breast cancer?

No probs pal, my bro is on the minoxidil (UHP Spectral) and my friend is on Regaine (Rogaine in USA). Spectral is A LOT cheaper, 6 months worth is about the same price at 1 month of Regaine. However, Regaine is a foam that dries quickly, Spectral is in a bottle and it is applied using a dropper. Spectral takes about 20 mins to dry, so if you like to rush out in the morning its not great.
As I said before, I got very light headed from Minoxidil and had to stop, I hear that this is rare though, so you should be fine. Good luck with it and remember you must do it twice a day every day to make it work and if you stop the extra hair just falls out. Minoxidil works usually for 5 years before the effects start to die off.

Hey peeps,
Just wanted to post a quick frontal picture that I just took today, with my hair "done".
The upper picture was taken in the bathroom, under a harsh fluorescent light, using my phone. My hair looks terrible, and actually doesn't look (well, to me) nearly as bad when looking straight at the mirror.
Note: Notice on the right side, how you can see my scalp through my hair? That's actually a scar (~2.5 inch diameter) that I got in a car accident 8 years ago. Back then, you couldn't see it at all because the approximate half inch of hair that is standing in front of it was much, much thicker..
The lower pictures was taken 10 minutes later, in a similarly lit environment (office lighting, fluorescent), but the light is much softer.

Hi Celo,
Your shots look like youre a young lad in your twenties. I am 28. I had a hair style like you up until last August (2010). You have diffused balding at the very early stage. Mine is more advanced than you and I hide it no problem. Spiking your hair up is the problem, youre letting light straight through, even the thickest hair looks thinner when spiked. Trick is to crop it and comb forward giving you a sharp look, then use nanogen fibres or Toppik fibres on your hair. The stuff is like magic, you just then spray some hair spray on to seal it. You will have a wicked looking thick head of hair again and only you and your hair dresser need ever know.Comment

Benq,
I am actually 28 as well. My hair actually (still) looks good with this hairstyle for the most part, especially if I use a thickening shampoo (which I didn't today). I am considering the use of toppik/nanogen, I think I'll give it a try soon just to see how it works for me.Comment

i've got a question about this nanogen stuff and toppik. What about when people run their fingers through your hair? does the stuff come off on the hands?Comment

Benq - I'd love to be able to compare the two of your pics in the same lighting/conditions, but it really does look like a dramatic improvement.
Thebaldone1 - I'd love to know the same.
Also, does it irritate the scalp? That's one of the reasons I'm not to crazy about getting it, I have a very sensitive scalp.Comment
