I've been losing my hair since I was a sophomore in high school, but I wasn't concerned about it until my Biology teacher pointed it out in front of the class, which is when I had it buzzed. Then I grew it out and started spiking it kinda like how Beckham did. From then on I've been using Nioxin shampoo and conditioner (system 1) up until a year ago. This is what I've been doing/taking:
- Sept 8, 2012 - Started Propecia + using Nioxin
- Aug 22, 2012 - Hair, Skin, and Nails, omega 3's, Propecia, and not using Nioxin because it weighed my hair down, and my stylist told me I didnt need it since I was on Propecia
- Feb 2, 2013 - Switched to generic Propecia (Finasteride), still doing everything in the above
- Feb 22, 2013 - Got off Fin due to brain fog, watery ejac, but it did maintain my hairline on my left side, the right just looked a little receeded, then I went back to Nioxin
As of now, I can see the my left side is starting to thin, I still take HS&N, omega 3's, and use Nioxin shampoo and conditioner, but I've been using the conditioner every other day because when my hair dries the receeded areas gets this flaky/creamy build-up. When I was a senior of '12 I had a weights class and was working out, but my receeding wasn't really noticeable. I also have a exceptionally well diet, I'm in good shape, and I do not put gels or hairspray in my hair.
A. What could I do to improve my hair growth, or atleast maintain it?
B. Should I get back on Propecia and stick to it since I've heard the generic kind increases testoserone? If so, will exercising balance my hormones out?
