19 years old, in need of guidance.

[s1292]

I'm 19 years old, my hair has been thinning for a really long time, since middleschool I began to notice it but I did nothing about it. I actually once began applying rogaine but I saw no results (2 months use) so I just let it go.

Why? I always had my hair long. I did this to hide simple bald spots. I wish I could've acted or at least my mom or dad could have aswell.

I recently got a buzzcut to see how I would look going just shaved. I don't like the look, as you can tell my head shape isn't very good lol. Shaving everything off isn't really the route I want to take anymore.

Now after avoiding it for so long I finally started doing some research about it. I've read up on and become familiar with "THE BIG 3" . I am considering taking it, but before I do that I would like you all to give me advice, and to introduce myself of course.

My questions to you guys is can I see regrowth of new hair at this stage I am at? Will the big 3 do me good if I stick with it? Also, is there any other medications I can take?

If so, Where can I get all of these medications/products at a reasonable price?

Thank you all.

Yes the big 3 is the only way.

Get proscar and spilt in 4 from your doctor (its cheaper and you are sure you get the right drug), Nizoral you can get from Amazon/ebay and Rogaine from your pharmacy.

I would personally not trust any online pharmacies or generics for propecia/proscar unless you have many positive reviews from people like the members in this forum, but we all have different views on these matters.

You will have a great chance for stopping your hair loss either for years or permanently. You can not be sure to see re-growth, even though quite a lot do see it especially in the crown area, including myself and many others. You can also benefit from a thicker/healthier look of the hair you have left.

Good luck with it.

Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it.

I am planning to take atleast minox and fin, however I have a question.

Is proscar, fincar, etc all the same product? They're all finasteride right? Will it matter what I buy or get prescribed?

I'm also very afraid of the side effect of fin. Will giving it a shot for two weeks show any early side effect enabling me to stop it immediately? and will those side effects be permanent?

Um, I have to say, I really don't see a problem in your pics.

Anyways, if you are in the US, you can get Nizoral A-D shampoo and Rogaine (or generic 5% Minoxidil) at any pharmacy or grocery store. You need to see your doctor for a prescription for Finasteride or the prescription strength Nizoral shampoo.

Your doctor can help you there - but Propecia is 1mg Finasteride. Proscar is 5mg Finasteride. Generic Finasteride is only available in the US in 5mg pills.

Nizoral you can get from Amazon/ebay...

Really? Why can't you just get Nizoral at the same pharmacy you get Rogaine? That's what I do.

Okay thank you a lot, I will update this when I'm on the products.

Also, what do you mean by you don't see a problem in my pictures? I see it every single day, before I cut my hair (it was pretty long) everyone noticed that I had thin hair. I'd be okay with a bit thicker hair I guess.

I guess it's all relative. I know some women who are much worse off than you. From the pictures you have provided, I just don't see a problem. Preventative measures are rarely a bad idea though. Talk to your doctor about it.
