    Been on rogaine for 6 months, how is my hair?

    Been on rogaine for 6 months not sure if I like how my hair is. Would you guys think I'm balding if you saw me?

      Yeah, I fail to see a hairloss problem based off those photos, let alone one that warrants use of Rogaine (though I do not have a reference to how you looked prior to the use). You have a maturing hairline, but that is normal for a male.

        The only part that I see bald is the part between your eyebrows and your hairline. Usually foreheads don't have much hair though.

        Please provide before pics. I would really like to see what you considered as balding.

          The problem is under bright light (or in this case a camera flash) you can see my scalp easy and I do get sunburns on my head




          Also I took a hair dryer and blew up my hairline. Looks sorta thin doesn't it?

            AHHH yah I see where you are thinning in the crown and the front hairline but it is very little right now. Have you thought about getting on any meds? Propecia or avodart? Also getting Nizoral shampoo and using that twice a week.


            The front might just be a mature hair line developing not really sure. Getting on meds, shampoo, and continue use of rogaine will most likely slow down further progression of hair loss but as the years go by you most likely will need a Hair Transplant.

              I would not use Minox on hairline trust me on that one. I would get on Fin or even avodart to slow down the hair loss. Keep in mind rogaine and Fin takes up too 12 month to see progress.

                What is wrong with using Minox on the hairline? I have been doing it for years now, I know its not as effective on the hairline like it is on the crown. Is there something negative about using it on the hairline?

                    Just took this after #5 haircut. Looks like a lot of thinning.
