My hair: Should I bother fighting this?

[Hubris]

Thanks for your reply Mpbman. Today I ordered 12 months supply of Kirkland Minoxidil, one months supply of Propecia and 6 bottles of Nizoral. I still have doubts as to whether I'm wasting my time/money though. Unfortunately, my hair loss is extensive, and I didn't really notice until it was too late because I was coincidentally sporting a shaved head anyway. As I grew older I wanted to cultivate a different look, and found that I'd lost more of my hair than I'd realized.

I did use Rogaine in the past for approximately 3 months, but stopped due to financial reasons. It was working - I could see small dark hairs sprouting from my scalp. My financial situation is slightly improved now, and I have a years supply, so I may well document my results on here.

I would say start with Propecia and Rogaine ASAP. You might save what you have and even regrow some. Who knows, maybe you'll have a HT in the future.

Instead of Rogaine, you can get cheap minoxidil from Kirkland (try ebay) and instead of Propecia you could get generic version of Propecia(finasteride) - but that's always a bit risky.

Hi everyone,

I'd really appreciate some advice from the community. I'm 26 years old and have been balding since about 17. I'm aware of the big three; Finasteride; Minoxidil; and Nizoral. I'd like to know, based on my pictures, if I should attempt to fight my hair loss - is it too far gone? Also, money is an issue for me. I can just about afford it all, but I don't want to spend a load of money, just to later realize that my hair loss had already passed being redeemable. As a side note, I would like to get a hair transplant in the future when I have more money.

p.s. what do you guys think about laser combs/caps?
