Does mpb affect the speed of your hair growth??

It has been 3 months!!! Since I shaved my hair down to the bone. And I just measured the length of my hair on the top my head and it is just slightly under 1inch!! WTF is going on?

The hair at the back and sides grows at twice the rate of the top and I have had to trim it down twice during those months.

This ****ing sucks, my hair looks like shit! It's ridiculous. My hair used to grow like wild fire.

ive read male pattern baldness decreases the length of time of the grow phase...so i wouldnt be suprised if at the same time its also decreasing the rate at which it grows. sorry your hairs not looking good. how did you look with the shaved head?

Well that sucks, but it makes sense. I dunno, ok I guess, but much, much older, which I didn't like. I think if I was much older I could accept being bald, but being bald at 22 it just doesn't look right.

i feel ya man - im 23 so, right there with you.

I took a look at mine and i cut my hair with an 8 guard on top 5 on side and its been 1.5 months and my sides are a little bit longer than the top...so i guess i am experiencing the same thing.

hair is supposed to grow 1/4-1/2'' a month...so it sounds like your hair is still in the "normal" range of growth...even though the back/sides are faster

You on any treatments mmmcoffee? What NW are you?

[mmmcoffee]

ive been on propecia for 8 months, rogaine for 2 month, nizoral for ~1 month

im kind of a weird case...i used rogaine for 7 months before going on propecia and then stopped using rogaine...so i went through a huge shed from quitting rogaine, but am back on it now...

waiting, not very patiently, for that "hey its working" feeling.

still a NW2 but with clear thinning towards a NW3 vertex....
