    Honestly, I wouldn't bother in your position. Reasoning:
    - It started when you were 17 so it's aggressive and won't be halted for long
    - Your temples have receded A LOT, limiting your hairstyles. Growing it out won't look good.
    - You have diffuse thinning all over.

    You're looking at a year of Minox + Fin to get decent coverage with the same hairline, and your hairline isn't that good.
    I'd call it a day, buzzcut it and save yourself the time and money.

    Hi there,

    In my opinion if hair loss is affecting you then its certainly worth doing something now whilst you still can and know you tried. I have seen some remarkable responders to the big 3 so in my opinion worth a try. You will certainly need commit to it for a minimum of 8-12 months to gain a good opinion on the benefits.

    Take some clear pictures and have them as a solid control to work to.


    Keep us updated and best of luck whatever you decide man !

    Be aware of initially shedding on hair loss treatments too. I would recommend not over doing any of the treatments especially not Nizoral ;-)

    You could get some great results from fin and minox. If you fill in the mostly diffused areas then the temples could be fixed in the future with a HT. If you respond really well to treatments then you could really have a shot of a decent head of hair again.

    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.
