    Default Diffuse hair loss, just started treatment.

    Hello all,

    I thought I would document my hair loss & treatment on here as it may be of some interest to anybody who has a similar hair loss pattern & is wondering if any of the well known treatments work and to what degree.

    I am 33 & have diffuse hair loss that starts at my hair line (although hair line is still intact) and spreads across the top of my head towards my crown. My crown is not yet too badly affected, however does show signs of miniaturisation.

    My hair started thinning (or miniaturising) probably about two years (possibly earlier, however it’s hard to put an exact time scale on things) however, in the last year the miniaturisation has really stepped up a gear (basically the front and mid-scalp consist almost entirely of miniaturised hairs.

    My dad was a NW6 by the time he was about 28/29.

    Anyway, 1 month ago I started to take finasteride 1mg daily and apply minoxidil 5% morning and night. The photo below is 1 month after starting treatment and is considered below baseline. I have been shedding large numbers of miniaturised hairs since just a few days into using minoxidil, and this continues until now (currently week four)

    I plan to post an update and photo at the 3 month mark.

    All the best.
