Castigation means NOTHING to me,,hahaha
Hi Guys!
I wanted to update my use of Finasteride today.
I am now into my 9th month of using generic Finasteride at 1mg per day.

I had never expected that i would see such ongoing positive results that I have been experiencing from its use.
My hair loss HAS BEEN STOPPED!
The hair affected by MPB (not 100% minimized) has been 'rejuvenating' ..When I add Toppix to my scalp these days,,it doesnt have that 'waste of time' look to it..lol. My hair has revived enough now that Toppix will cling on.
Prior to using Fin' when I tried Toppix you would see a balding scalp with brown stuff on it..Not today.
Notcool' Im sure you can say the same!

Those of you that TRULY have been experiencing POSITIVE results from the use of Propecia/Finasteride ,
Could you PLEASE tell that to Joe From Staten Island here on this thread??
Joe,, I know that you say that it didn't work for you but why in the world would you say that it is garbage for everyone?

Finasteride does work to stop hair loss and regrow hair. Will it work for everybody? No, but most will get some benefit from it's use. Even I have seen some benefit and I have been losing hair for about 15 years. My only regret when it comes to fin is not getting on it much sooner.

[Artista]

I certainly wish I had started taking Finasteride early on too.
I am now on my 9th month of using Finasteride.
It has definitely STOPPED the progression of my hair loss.
Also, I AM experiencing the benefit of hair rejuvenation.
Recently my wife and I reviewed the pictures I had taken of my scalp at the beginning of August 2013 just before I started using Finasteride at 1mg per day.
My wife said, 'you now have hair growing in areas that use to be bald!'
We were so surprised when comparing my scalp to those August 2013 photos!
AND I am not at the one year mark either!
to note,
THIS IS NOT A RARE CASE & I AM NOT A RARE INDIVIDUAL experiencing positive effects either!

No major side effects either.

[Artista]

Hey Notcoolanymore , Hope your doing ok.
Have you taken photos of your scalp prior to using Fin' too?
If so, have you made the comparisons too ?

By the way, you are STILL COOL dude!!

[Notcoolanymore]

I did take pics prior to starting treatment. You can see my latest pics posted on my intro thread here:

The pictures I took in Jan(6mo fin, 7mo minox), showed the most improvement. The last few months haven't been all that great for me. I am not sure if my hair is just going through a few cycles, but definitely doesn't look at thick as it once did. I don't plan on quitting anytime soon. I'm giving it a full 1.5 - 2 years.

I hope you do really well I've had such great results on fin. Hopefully you have luscious locks in a few months. I do enjoy whenever you call the show in. Peace

Hi all!
Just wanted to say hello since I have been away for so long now.
Im back, I must say that Finasteride has been an AMAZING treatment for my hairloss.
My hair density has really been coming along slow but sure! This coming August will be a full year of its use at 1mg per day.
I will be posting before and after pics at the end of August.
Hang in there my friends!!

Hope to hear from Notcoolanymore ..How has your Finasteride usage been for YOU now Not'??

[Notcoolanymore]

Hey, what's up Artista, good to hear about you and your positive results. I am doing good. I check in from time to time, but to be honest I try not to hang out on the message forums for as long as I use to. As far as finasteride, I am still using it and continue to be side free. I am still seeing improvement, but nothing too dramatic.

[Artista]

Notcool' great to hear back from you so soon!!
Spencer Kobren has always advised that 'we' all should never spend too much time on any hair loss forums.
It certainly is good advice.
I too have not been as frequent on here as I use to be...partially because my life has gotten in the way-lol.
At any rate Im glad that you too are experiencing good results bro! I would not say that my hair looks fantastic as yet but it IS improving at a progressive rate. I feel very confident that in time it will look much better.
I can now confidently use hair building fibers like that of Caboki or Toppik. My hair density has been improving enough now for me to actually reuse that stuff. I had stopped using hair fibers back in late 2012 because it looked to be a waste of time. Not anymore.
Do you use anything like that?

[Notcoolanymore]

No I don't use any type of concealer. I have thought about buying some though and seeing what it would look like. Maybe I will give it a try and see how it looks.

[Artista]

Notcoolanymore, Yes you really should give it a try.
I personally like the brand- 'Caboki' I use the medium brown and it looks so natural.
Because my hair density has become better, due to the use of Finasteride, the Caboki fibers have something to 'grab onto'- lol It looks very natural as long as I do not over do it.
By the way Notcool' the Official Caboki website offers a free sample ,,here is the link- http://www.caboki.com/free.html

I will be purchasing more soon..

Uhmmmmm just to put it out there, ever since I've taken fin like 6 months ago, I'm horny as hell, my girl loves it. Could be just pure coincidence or is it?
