M (23) receding hairline

[Zdude]

The medication looks like it's working. Your hairline doesn't look like its receding at all now.

Congratulations.

I think I've catch it at right time with the good products, I hate this greasy minoxidil stuff but I'm stick to it.
I think I haven't loose more hair since that I've started to use proscar;

I'm just wondering where I am right now on the norwood scale?

Your barely even a Norwood one. In fact, your closer to a Norwood zero than you know.

Temple hair is in good shape.

This might surprise you, but in males, usually the right side of the brain is one percent bigger
than the left. Most people's heads are not symmetrical. In fact, quite the opposite.

You are very fortunate to have as much hair as you do.

Definitely some regrowth going on the right side.

Do you mean cutting Proscar (five milligrams of Finasteride) in quarters? The tablet
isn't scored. That means the amount in fourths isn't evenly distributed.

[christophermitchell]

Yes I cut the proscar (5mg) in 4 pieces with a pill cutter, it's not perfect but it makes the job I guess.

I remember that I start receding around 18, I was stressing like crazy and I was really concerned. I saw a dermatologist who told me that I have MPB, then he prescribe me propecia.I don't remember loosing hair on the top of my head before finasteride. But I got a phase, where I was loosing some on the top while I was on it. I start panicking so I add minoxidil. Maybe I'm just over reacting...

Thanks for the reply.

It's always really stressful. Especially when we first discover it.

However, your treatment is definitely working for you. Nizerol shampoo? There's really not a whole lot of proof on that. Would not recommend washing your hair everyday, as it dries out natrual oils.

Keep using Finasteride and Minoxidil. I'll bet you'll be a "full head" by the end of
the year!

Bump,
Little shy to post that after 1 month on rogain but i see some little dark hair on my hairline. Is it some regrowth or the balding processus?

On the right:

That is definitely a sign of regrowth. The hair is terminal and growing in a diffuse area. That's how Minoxidil regrowth looks like
when it first grows back.

Ive stop nizoral shampoo for a while, it makes my hair dry...
It was hard at first to accept the fact that maybe one day ill be bald, now i know that it could eventually be a possibility but im taking the best 2 medications... if it gets worst and if its stable, i will considering a HT.

[christophermitchell]

2017 just started and I haven't experience hairloss since a long time....the medication are doing a great job, I think I'm still loosing hair but at a slow rate.

[christophermitchell]

Have been using minoxidil for a while now and I just saw that have hair between my eyebrows and hair... that so weird and I think it's because of minoxidil...

hey mate are u taking finasteride ??? if yes ,then since when are u taking it ??? did u faced any sides while taking it ??

[christophermitchell]

I started with propecia, I took the medication for 2 years but it was too expensive so I switched for finasteride 1/4 for 1 year and few months... I'm on it for 3 years and few months, never had problems with it. At first I was scared but you dont have to. Everybody is reacting differently to this medication, you gotta try to see how it goes

[christophermitchell]

Balding on the crown?

[CocoPoco]

I've been on propecia since 2015 and i wouldn't worry too much about your crown, like everyone BALDS there. You wont find anyone above 20+ without a little balding in the crown area.

Hi,

Just litlle update, ive stop using minoxidil on the crown because it was too itchy and i had too much dandruff....however, its been 1 month and a few days that i stoped this product and no sheding. Did i loose my time using this product, or ill see my hair fallout ?
