Hey What's up guys

[Notcoolanymore]

I'll just jump right into it. I'm 36, MPB, maybe a NW4? Been losing my hair since my early 20's.

Just to give you some background info. I went to see my Dr. when I was about age 25 to discuss hair loss. Instead of trying to help me slow it down or stop it, he began to tell me how it is just a natural part of life and how it will happen to most guys. He told me to look at his hairloss. This dude was at least 50!! What a useless waste of skin. Needless to say, he isn't my doctor anymore.

Not too long after that I started cutting my hair really short. Longer hair is a pain in the ass to have where I work and since I thought my hair was garbage I just said screw it. Fast forward to today and just recently I saw a picture of myself from behind and I was like holy crap I am really bald. Haha! So I know I am very late to the party. Not completely shiny anywhere, but in the front due to MPB. So I am trying to do what I can to slow this down, maybe stop it, reverse it a little.

So doing research online about hairloss products and stuff I found this site and decided to join. If I think of anything else I will add it below.

Welcome to the forum. This is a really good place to learn about treatments and to learn to cope.

Thanks. I try to keep a level head when dealing with losing hair though. I don't like it, but I am not suicidal either. Just try to deal with it the best I can. What you guys have going on here is for the most part pretty good. You have some guys that are a bit over the top, but most seem pretty cool.

Just to let you know what I am using:

Minox foam or minox solution w/hairmuck 2x/day
Regenpure Dr shampoo daily(if possible)
Microneedle 3 - 4 times a week
Daily Vitamins(nothing special)
Biotin
Silica
Saw Palmetto

Have been on this stuff for about a month now. No noticable results, but I will stick with it and take pics about every month or so.

Hey Guys,

Just wanted to post some pics with my progress. Not amazing results, but I have kept my expectations realistic so at this point I am pretty satisfied. Let me know what you think or if you have questions let me know.

This is what I use:
1mg Prepecia ED(for about 8 weeks)
Regenepure DR shampoo 4 - 5 days/week
Minox foam or liquid(mixed in with hair muck) 2x/day
Dermaroller Microneedle 3-4 days/week
Vitamins: 1 Biotin 5000mcg and 1 Silica Complex 500mg ED

I know I am using a lot of stuff, some of which is probably ineffective. But I have no clue what is so I continue to take it all.

Each pic was taken approx. one month apart starting with the baseline pic. You will notice I started at almost a NW6 so I keep my expectations very low. Believe it or not I actually went through a bit of a shed during the first month. You might notice less hair after the 1st month at my crown. Lastly every pic taken is right after I cut my hair. I use #2 clipper on top. BTW I am not using concealer to give the appearance of more hair.

wow awesome!! If that's actually the same length every month, looks like some serious progress! would be better if u used one each for about 8 months but i totally understand you just wanting results keep it up dude!!

That's a big improvement. I haven't tried micro needling yet, but plan to. I have been using minoxidil along with scalp massage and exercises. My hair has improved quite a bit over the last several months. Part of it may be the beard hair Dr. Cole scattered on top and the sides. My daughter brought a product home called "Hair Skin and Nails". It includes Biotin and MSM. It's a terrible tasting liquid but that could perhaps be contributing to some improvement.

Again, your results are very encouraging.

Looking good notcoolanymore! After a month of shaving my head. I've decided to restart all treatments. Let's hope I can gain back as much ground as you have.
