bald spot starting?

[goldbondmafia]

Adding some more pictures , just using this thread as a blog i guess to keep track of my hair. Started using nizoral 1x per week, emu oil only at night and coconut oil again instead of aloe vera with vitamin e before my night shower. Also gonna grow my hair out , got it cut feb 8ish to a 2 so now its probably a 3 in length.

As I said before, You are everything but bald, most of us here would give anything for a full set of hair like Yours.

Anyway, have You seen any added density with the stuff You're using - coconut oil, aloe vera etc ? Do You take any supplements ?

I haven't really noticed much from the aloe vera with vitamin e oil which is why i am going back to using coconut oil, but my hair has been really short the entire time i used it as most buzzed cuts looks pretty similar. I just started using the coconut oil again a few days ago so well see how it looks as my hair grows longer if it looks thicker. My goal is to document my hairline and improve the quality of my hair , i think im on the right path if you look at my pics on first page.

But yes i take a lot of supplements: biotin, vitamin D, fish oil, multi vitamin (orange triad brand), saw palmetto, green tea, vitamin C.

You have great hair, but if you are starting to thin you need to make sure you have a good DHT blocker.

Some new pics, my hair is quite a bit longer since the last pictures, id say an inch-inch.5 maybe. pictures were taken again directly under sunlight so i dont know if that is a factor in seeing my scalp in last two pics...? im not sure if my last pic the one of the crown is normal, from my pictures in mid december it looks the same and maybe even better now then my the pictures i posted in original post on page 1.

BTW normal DHT levels should be between 860-3406 according to my doctor, mine is 4128 right now, although these results are from last decemberish so next month i will get it checked out again

Sorry for dropping in like this - but where/how do you measure your DHT level?

blood tests

new update, my hair is getting quite a bit longer since last month. As usual I took my pictures under a ceiling window and I also did another DHT test and my levels have gone up a tiny bit from 4128 to 4193 althought my doctor thinks nothing of it. Im thinking its from lifting heavier weights at the gym for the last 4-5 months.

any thoughts on the new pics?

Yes, its from lifting weights.

You've got what looks like some general thinning going on on the top. Its starting to look like a diffuse pattern (even though theres no such thing exactly..)

pic #37 shows it the most...its thin in places it just shouldn't be, like a cowlick swirl area or hair part.

Ye I just find it weird that all the pics look good (minus second last photo #37). If you look at post 47 on page 5 you can see my hair from the same angle in December and my hair isnt spiked its combed over which makes it look a ton better. My hair is spiked up and under sunlight in the photos from today which creates more of a thin look as well. Once it gets worse in a year or two from now ill get on fin haha. And my swirl in the last pic has always looked like that tho.

I feel pretty lucky as my hair has looked this way since last october and ive managed to halt further thinning from back then, just gotta keep it rolling

[goldbondmafia]

tracy any thoughts do you think its getting better/worse from before?

Why wait a year or two from now?

Dunno, its not noticable now unless my hairs in the sunlight but then again light can make anyone seem thinner (not that mine isnt starting).

I plan on seeing an IAHRS doc this summer to discuss some things first too. BTW are you on fin?

[goldbondmafia]

Some new pics. Buzzed my hair again to a 2 a few weeks ago its a bit longer now tho. Im also seeing an IAHRS doc in two weeks so we will see what he says and recommends. To be honest I may start taking fin in a low dose to reduce some DHT (as I believe male bodies need it) but if I notice any difference in my body im not taking it again and will accept hair loss haha gonna save my money for a real cure in the future then get jacked as fuuck till then

Just by reading the hair boards I found that a lot of guys are on low doses of Fin (like .25-.50) to avoid sides. Some seem to have really good results too.
I didn't want to go back on FIN but I could see my vertex/crown was getting worse on just Minox. I recently started on .50, but will drop to .25 if I have to .
So yea I think a low dose of FIN is a good compromise if you are concerned about sides. Oh and some guys report they do feel it for a couple of weeks even on low doses but it clears up pretty quickly.
