My progress so far

[Rizaan]

I started using minoxidil since 1st November, 2014. These are my results so far :
First two were taken at the beginning of December, 2014
Second two were taken at the beginning of January, 2015
Last two were taken at the end of January, 2015

I don't know how good these results are. When I first started using minox., I started shedding hair, I was told here(and by searching google) that shedding does occur in some people, but the hair comes back later. what everyone failed to state was WHERE THE SHEDDING OCCURS. The hair density at the borders of my hair at the front is very low, it doesn't show much in the pics because I pulled back my hair, and it's gotten worse ever since I started this treatment even though there is some progress only on the bald areas(temples). So, I started applying minoxidil even at the front of my hairline, hoping my hair density would return to what it used to be, but I haven't noticed any new hair growing there. It's starting to depress me, and I don't know whether or not my hair will come back. Could you please share and compare your experience with minoxidil(including the shedding, and where it occurred)?

after 4 months on it my frontal has gone very worse but temples are getting somewhat strong.i don't understand what is going on may be i would grow some hair in future or i am going bald.

I did grow some hair from when the first photo was taken to the last one at the end of Jan. Plus, I didn't have my hair pulled back in the first two photos, and the miniaturized hairs have grown in all the bald area. What I want to know is whether my overall hair density will return back to normal. I visited my dermatologist a few days ago and she said it will come back but I'm not convinced fully because I don't see any new tiny hairs on my scalp between my normal hairs....yet. She said the hair growth will speed up after 3 months, and I am growing more hair now.

Rizaan, I am getting significant hair regrowth with saw palmetto and pumpkin seed oil where you are thinning, except you can see before, i had none. https://www.baldtruthtalk.com/album....chmentid=50813

I saw your posts on some other threads too. Why exactly are you commenting everywhere?
And did you use Saw Palmetto and the PSO topically?

[GroughBack]

Both topically and take saw palmetto, pumkin seed, and viamin and mineral complex. The reason I am posting, is its difficult to believe these things work, because no one takes the time to post any photos that make it clear that it does work. Wan't to let people like yourself know that there are other options that work just as well. In 2 years, I will have a full head of hair, and if you use minox, yours might stay the same. I post for your benifit or your photos would show visable re growth as well. You're welcome for taking the time.

I really appreciate that, man. Thank you.
It's great that you're seeing positive results, and i hope to see some too. I doubt you'll get a "full head of hair" from this but it might slow down your HL.

So, you use Saw Palmetto topically and orally(pills I assume?)? What about pumpkin seed out: is that topical too? Do you apply all over your head and do you wash it off? I'd really appreciate some details.
I got some veggiecaps(dietery supplements) today that are a combination of Saw Palmetto, biotin and vitamins but I doubt that'll do much; I'll need to apply Saw Palmetto topically.
I've been applying minoxidil for 2.5 years and I want to stop using it now because it's not effective anymore and its given me puffy eyes that are a f*cking pain in the *ss. But I fear i'll lose a lot more hair if I stop

Rizan, the good thing about natural is that if new growth(terminal) hair is happening. It will do more than just prevent more hair loss, this I believe is where the natural approach differs from pharms, and I think that many people on fin and minox would agree with this, that in most cases people who have gone the pharm route saw it as the only option in keeping the hair that they have. When new hair growth actually occurs naturally, it doesn't stop, it actually accelerates, because it is not at all a band aid to hairloss. When the hardest part to achieve (New terminal hair) happens naturally it is all down hill rather than an uphill battle to keep your hair, as it is whith pharms.Some hair means more hair when achieved naturally. I can tell u might be asking yourself, "what if I never started minox" "would I I have more hair now if I spent 2.5 years using natural topicals and dht blockers, vitamins and minerals that nourish, and 15 minutes of massage every night?". The answer for your hair is a definite "Yes". I have seen the pictures. Natural is smooth down hill, once the ball is rolling, whereas pharms are a contant battle uphill to keep there hair you have with no REAl progress, the progress IS, and ONLY in No More Hair Loss.

In case I don't get bak to this right away. Dont stop using minox, you have already LOCKED yourself into it. If you do, you will lose ALOT of hair.I am NOT at all a NATURAL GURU, I am about keeping hair! Natural is the BETTER option. In your case it is better to keep using minox and incorporate a natural cure into your routine. Mine takes almost an hour a day right now, so its not easy, but I know for certain what an hour a day will mean, 2.5 years from now, when I can see it already!

BUMP. No one?

Those are ****ING great results.


Hate to say this though, without Finasteride, or some anti DHT, your results
will be temporary. Even for a few years.


Best of luck.
