My hair: Should I bother fighting this?

[Hubris]

Hi everyone - thanks for all your encouragement and advice. Since there is some interest as to how I am doing thus far, I thought I'd give you a (roughly) one month update.

I hope this is close enough to a direct comparison:

First week of starting treatment.


Approximately one month after starting treatment.


As stated, I am using the big three. This week I also started using Folligen, but it cannot be credited for any of the results I may or may not have had thus far, since I have only used it once. In any case, my last picture was taken before I started using Folligen.

The lighting is different, seems harsher in the first pic. However I'd say there is some great improvement there bud. Keep it up.

I agree. It is the same room with the same light bulb, but yet the lighting is different somehow. It could be because there is a window directly in front of where I'm facing. I might have taken the pictures at a different time of day, and therefore the light coming from outside might be slightly different as well.

Keep updating this post. I'd like to see the results. I'm currently considering what to do about my thinning. I was considering taking Propecia and washing with Nizoral. I'm kinda nervous to start the Propecia though with all the talk about sexual side effects. I'd like to talk with individuals who have been on the drug for a while to see how it has affected them.

I will definitely keep it updated, but too soon for a new post right now.

Kirkland Minoxidil x2 daily
Propecia daily

Hi Hubris !!

How are you doing? I see that you have been given a lot of good advice!!
I have not read everything here on this thread of yours so I want to ask, how old are you?
I HOPE that you are not ALLOWING stress to affect you.

I too would also advise that you consider Finasteride and Minoxidil.
Also, pick up the multivitamin~ BIOTIN. That would also help your hairline.

Oops ..I just reread your original thread post,
" I'm 26 years old and have been balding since about 17..."
At 26..it would be a safe thing to use Finasteride.

Hi Artista,

Thanks for your response. For a short while my account was under moderation due to a small misunderstanding/error on my part, that issue has been resolved now. As a result, there was a bit of a delay between you posting this response and my previous post above becoming publicly viewable. As you can see, I am taking Minoxidil and Finasteride already. I am also taking biotin, omega-3 and zinc supplements, but failed to mention this in my previous post. As a side note, I'd really like to get Piloscopy one day in order to move my hair line forward.

Quick update.

1.

2.


I think it's just about passable for a corporate job. You can see the quality and texture of the hair is clearly different in the areas that have suffered the effects of MPB the most (the hairline).

[Artista]

You hair looks GREAT bro!!

I would never lie to anyone.

[jamesst11]

Is it just me or did you have some real regrowth??? congrats man!

[Mpbman]

Looks good mate!

Maybe you could (for a better comparison) make another photo like this one you've posted in August:

[Artista]

Mpbman makes a very good point Hubris !
Good going Mpbman, you too are giving good advice to others here!!

[Hubris]

Sure.

I've tried my best to get as close to the same lighting, hairstyle and angle as the above picture. As you can see, all of the hair is brushed away from the balding region.

LUCKY YOU Hubris!!!! I hope that my hairline gets to be like that..
