Male 27 ... 6+ Years on Propecia & 2+ Years on Regaine

Hi All,

Never posted in any forums like this before but want to share my results with people. Ive been taking Propecia since 2011 and Regaine since 2015.

Background - I started losing my hair when I was 21 and at university. At first I was in denial and then decided to take action immediately, and started out on Propecia. I have experienced good results whilst on it especially on the crown. After about 5 years on Propecia I added Regaine because I noticed my hairline receding.

After about 4 years on Propecia only:

After 6+ years on Propecia and 2+ on Regaine:

How I style it day to day:

I have just run out of my annual Propecia prescription and am thinking of changing to Generic Finis, as its cheaper

Looks amazing. Norwood 1 definetly. I'm 18 right now and ahve been on nizoral + minoxidil for about 2 months now. I'm thinking about adding propecia but im unsure due to side effects, what do you suggest considernig my age? Thanks.

I’d recommend it 100%. From the day I started taking it I noticed instant results. I wish I’d have started on it sooner. I saw absolutely no side effects.

Thanks for the answer!

Don't you think it can mess up my hormones (height, facial features, etc). Also, where do you purchase propecia?

Have you ever had any periods of time where you missed putting in your rogaine? If so, did you notice any significant amounts of hairloss?

Hi,

I haven’t noticed Propecia’s had any side effects whatsoever. Height, other body hair, sexual etc ... no side effects. I currently buy it from Boots but thinking of switching to Generic Finis as its half the price. Only thing I would say is it made me less up for the gym when I first started taking it but use pre workout all the time now.

On the rogaine question I actually only use it of an evening. I wash it out in the morning when I have my shower. I do not use it at all most weekends when at my girlfriends and longest I have gone without using it is on 2 week holidays abroad. Never noticed any regression from those times I don’t use it. I think you will if you go several months without using it. However, Propecia is no effort so I aim to never miss a day.

Would you mind showing us your current hairline by pulling it up? And could you possibly link me the website? Thank you so much

Great hair. You are a good responder.some questions:

1. Do u use foam or liquid Rogaine?
2. What shampoos do u use and do they contain silicones?
3. Do u take any supplements like whey protein or creatine and does it affect ur hair?
4. Do u take any vitamins/supplements for hair?
5. Did u or do u currently have scalp itching/inflammation/dandruff?

Thanks

Hi John,

Apologies for the long delay in replying, I have not been on the site in some time. Some answers to your questions below:

1. I use liquid form
2. I used Nizoral 2% shampoo for roughly a year at once a week. After running out I didn't bother buying it again as I did not notice much difference. Now I just use a regular silk and smooth shampoo.
3. I take 3 scoops of whey protein a day and have done that for years now. I don't believe this effects your hair in anyway. I took creatine for about 6 months a couple years ago and it made me a little paranoid I was getting thinner at the front so stopped taking it. I may have just been paranoid but no longer take creatine. I have no evidence to back up my paranoia.
4. I take no vitamins for my hair. Just a standard A-Z complete vitamins and minerals pill a day.
5. No scalp itching / dandruff etc
