Here was my original thread:
I'm 21
So as of about 2 weeks ago:
I've started taking:
Finasteride (.25mg a day so far)
Minoxidil (rogaine 5% foam) 2x a day
-should I also add nizoral?
-should I up my dosage of Fin?
-When I look at my hairline it's pretty full of these tiny whispy hairs that are more or less colorless.. Is this an indication that these can be revived still?
This whole progression has gotten me pretty down and depressed with myself.
I mean I feel like I need to avoid direct lighting... Under the light it looks like my hair is barely there, but then in darker or softer lighting it appears thick as it used to be! What the hell?
Especially since about 8 months ago I thought to myself "my hair looks pretty light on the edges lately, probably nothing" and then fast forward to today and I feel like absolute shit about how it looks now and wish I had started treatment back then...
-Is it likely that I can stick to a regiment and thicken up these now dying follicles? I don't need any miracle regrow my entire hairline - I just really want to thicken it back up.. I feel like I really only noticed my hairline becoming thinner and thinner about 3 months ago, and now it seems almost impossible how far along it has thinned to this point..
My hair currently is a little bit longer since those pictures, obviously, but I can't decide whether or not to cut it shorter or let it grow more. The longer front can cover the right side of the hairline better, but the left side is thinning noticeably pretty far along now....
-Should I just buzz it down? What's worse, the full visibility of the receded hairline or the longer thin hair?
Again, thanks everyone..
