So I know its been a long time. Life kept me away from the forums for a while. Long story short had a fight with cancer (melanoma) but caught it early and won that fight so that is of no importance. Anyway, About a year and a half ago I posted about my fear of trying finasteride. As a professional stage actor I needed to keep my hair. I was then a 30 year old. Now am 32 and I thought Id give you all an update on my progess.
I first started to notice thinning in the hairline and crown around age 30. Nothing huge and to the untrained eye I had a full head of hair. But I knew I was thinning. It was obvious to me. My father and my older brother were both completely bald by the age of 28. Not so with me. My hair loss was following my mother's fathers loss pattern. Where he is now 80 and stil has some hair though a lot of it is gone. Wasnt really publicly noticeably going bald until he late 40s early 50s.
I jumped on finasteride after overcoming my fears of all the horror stories told online. Anyway, I started out at .25 mg a day for about half a year and then bumped it up to .5mg a day which I am still currently on. I also use Nizoral Shampoo non prescription strength twice a week as well as a hair vitamin daily. I have seen exceptional results.
All the hair that had thinned and was lost from my crown has grown back pretty full and I even got significant growth back on my hairline and now I have stabilized. It is late and I dont have pictures readily available but I will provide them asap. I just wanted you all to know that if you are on the fence about fin to take a chance. I have had virtually no adverse side effects other than a slight testicle ache on and off for the first month. Nothing else negative to report.
