    Just use scientifically backed medications. Finasteride and Minoxidil (five percent) are your best bets, in my opinion.

    Just so you know, Minoxidil does work on the hairline as well as vertex. Expect shedding for twelve to sixteen weeks if you decide to use it. Would recommend the foam, which won't cause dandruff.

    One milligram of Finasteride will really help you save your hair. In fact, it will do more than the Minoxidil.

    The longer you wait, without medication, the less chance you will have to regrow your hair. Sad but true. I waited until my forties to use Finasteride. I regret that decision. Now I have to use an aggressive regimen to regrow my hair.

    You have to be happy with it. Acceptance is also good. If it doesn't bother you, then
    don't worry about it.
    Thanks for providing some hope. I've been feeling pretty down about this whole thing. I hope both of the methods you describe help...not only with maintenance but regrowth.

    It's depressing when everyone my age has 'normal' hair and takes it for granted.
