Is it too late for me now? Pics

[BaldingEagle]

Started minoxidil about 10 months ago... Seen very slight regrowth but continued losing in other areas.

Hopped on finasteride 1mg a day 2.5 months ago, very little sides and hair quality seems noticeably better and I see minor hair growth around hairline.

I recently examined my hair throughly and noticed I've lost more than I thought, with some diffusing. Can finasteride thick this or is the diffusion too advanced?

Thanks

You have TONS of hair man! Relax, it's definitely not too late. Your thinnest area is the crown, an area that responds best to treatments.

[BaldingEagle]

My hairline is pretty receded too. I'm lucky I had a natural very small forehead so it doesn't look as bad. My crown hasn't gone much better on rogaine. But Propecia probably hasn't had its chance yet only 2.5mons in.

My main concern is just behind my hairline on the left side is thin. It has hairs, just thinner ones. Really hoping Propecia can revive those and I can avoid an FUE.

Thanks for the input James.

James do you think dermatch is a good option behind hairline and on crown for my loss?

BaldingEagle - you still have lots of hair man! I wish I had your hair, really!

If I was you, I would definitely continue with Minoxidil and Propecia.

As far as the concealers .. I've tried DermMatch, Caboki and Topik. DermMatch is a good concealer and stays on the hair the longest but made my hair very dry, so I wouldn't recommend it that much.

Topik was great too, but stayed on the hair only a day or so.

Caboki stays on my hair for 2 or 3 days and even after I wash my hair some of it still stays on the hair. I put just a small amount of it on the crown/vertex area and then comb it onto the front part of the hair. Then repeat till i get a satisfying result.

Does dyeing hair to color the weaker hairs improve thickness?

Things are not too late for you. There is still plenty you can do. Fin will probably help as well. Cheer up man!

I'm lucky I had a natural very small forehead

If yours is small i've got a tiny man and i know that aint the case however you've still got a lot of hair man should definitely be saved by your treatments. Wish i had the balls to hop on fina. but then again, i want to keep the balls i have..

[BaldingEagle]

I more so meant it was small before recession. So now with recession it's not as bad looking as it could be.

Also about fin: the sides are so overblown on the net. I got maybe a 10% libido loss, had worse sexual sides on antidepressants.

[Loony]

Ah right. Well again brother you've still got a lot of hair. Less then ive got but still a lot. You should definitely do everything you can to keep it and it wont even be obvious to others (with longer hair).

Does finasteride make you infertile?

[BaldingEagle]

It doesn't make you infertile. Many man conceive on it and also if planning to conceive just quit for 2 weeks.

All study's showed semen volume returned to baseline after discontinuation.

I'm only 2.5 months into fin so I can't say much for regrowth yet but my hair absolutely feels better to the touch and some dying unpigmented hairs are gaining color.

Also I'm growing my hair out so we'll see. Will probably do like 4-6 inches on top and a number 2 on the sides.

[BaldingEagle]

Wanted to add in not so concerned about looking like I have no hairloss at all as I'm approaching 30 and it's not uncommon at all at my age to have my stage of loss.

I just want to keep this because I still think my hair is better than bald at the moment.

I have no issues with girls with my current hair, hoping to keep it that way and potentially thicken up on fin and min.
