rogaine for 9 yrs, finasteride for 6, now wearing hair 'system'
Hairloss: Norwood scale 3 at 17. Went on Finasteride for 9 years with minoxidil/rogaine for 6. Came off both finasteride and minoxidil at 26. Now I'm 28 and still at Norwood scale 3 (frontal recession only). Unsure if either minoxidil or finasteride worked as I've read hair loss recession isn't linear (and can stop and start throughout life).
This summer I had my front hairline shaved off and then had a Total Cover Plus partial hair system fitted July 2017. Although only 1 person out of 40+ friends/family members have been able to tell, the lifts and maintenance are driving me crazy. Grumpy ever since.
Am feeling pretty despondent about the piece. I was better off without it. Would appreciate any advice on dealing with the hair piece lifts or solidarity on hairloss.

Hi
I'm sorry, I have always tried to take pics but then quickly deleted them. I had a really bad time admitting I had hairloss and pics seemed to just prove it. So I don't have pics of hairline at 17 nor can I stomach a pic of me without the system.
This also means I think I was Norwood 3 at 17 and that the hairloss hasn't progressed since but I could be wrong.
Sorry not to be more helpful.
And yes if I hadn't shaved my front hairline I would definitely get rid of the system. I am wasting so many hours on the maintenance...

If it hasn't changed a lot then u are fine.are u still using propecia an rogaine. And can u at least show a pic with system so we can get an idea what ur talking about. Btw I'm 15 and balding like crazy my hairline has gone back and and thinned and I can feel crown thinning too so u should be a bit unconcerned!!!!!!

Can you see my pics comebackkid? I can't tell if they've uploaded

Who done your system? I seen some good videos YouTube London places etc. I know there's also a place Swindon I attended once and their systems were very good.

Your pics are not showing up - maybe better if you put them on Flickr or something. That way you also retain control of them, and can delete them when they have served their purpose.
I have been wearing a system for 3 years, so maybe I can help. What adhesive are you using? Total Cover systems have silicone bases, right?
