    Any hope for my hairline?

    Been using fin for 10 months and rogaine for 4.5 months...I will continue use regardless but you guys/gals think there's any hope for this area of my hairline? What nw do you think that's progressing to...3?

    Where there is hair, there is hope. I would consider adding 2% keto shampoo to your regimen (make sure you leave it in for 5 minutes before washing out)
    Do you use Rogaine 2x a day? And what is your fin dose?

      You should be fine if you keep using both, just stick with them. You have a lot of hair so it's like you're going to need a massive amount of regrowth.

        Thanks for the replies...Sorry I do use ket as well once a week. I only use rogaine once a day and .5mg of fin. The rest of my hair is doing pretty good it's just the corners have no density but The hair that remains is somewhat thick. What nw do y'all think that would be if completely slick bald...I'm guessing 3

          Try using Rogaine twice a day. And why he low dose on fin? Did you suffer from negative side effects on 1mg?

          I can't tell what your NW would be for sure. If you can take a straight picture showing your eyebrows to see the space between your hair line and eyebrows, I am sure it would be a lot easier. But I would say you're really not that bad, maybe a NW2.5 but that's just a bit of a guess.

            Ill take a better picture tomorrow and post

            I use .5mg cuz it's just what my doc prescribed..have no sides and it works well for maintaining my hair so I haven't considered upping my dose. As for minox twice a day, yea...I could but its just much easier and more manageable to do once a day instead.

              The quality of the photo you have provided is not even close to what it needs to be to give you good answers. From what little I can see in your photo, you will look fine even if you do lose that little bit. So try not to worry about it too much. Save it if you can but don't be so excited if you can't because you will still look good.

                Promised pictures..

                Having not a good day...just showered and counted shed hairs for shits and giggles...shed about 170 probably more just in the shower and drying my hair with a towel. Can't wait to put rogaine in and see another 30 go down the drain

                Thinning goes back to the pinky...what nw you think that is going to?


                I know it's not good quality but I'm just asking for a guess anyway

                  Do you have a good online source for keto 2%?

                        People here tell me i'm an NW3 and i'm in a lot worse shape than you are. Personally I think i'm an NW4 already, unfortunately. I think you may be right, you are NW3 but you have thick hair.

                            Not sure how I would rate it on the NW chart. 2.5-3 maybe if the thin areas were slick.

                            I would consider using the full 1 mg of fin every day. Good luck.

                              I don't know man, looking at it again, i'd have to go with my first guess that you are a NW2.5.
