    Nice, you're on 0.5mg Fin right? Stick with that for another 12 months, sounds like a good plan/

    Have you got your DHT tested since last time bro? I got my DHT tested again and it turns out fin does nothing for me! It's either dut or baldness now aahah
    hey dan,

    sorry for the slow response ive been out of the country! but yeah im only using fin 1.25mg and nizoral 2%. I haven't gotten any blood tests done since 6 weeks AFTER I started fin but I plan on getting my DHT and test levels taken in early January to compare. I sort of feel like my sex drive is going down a bit which is why I want to get the blood tests done again

    hey guys, figured I would do a one year update since I began fin 1.25mg last June 10th

    Pictures 1 and 3 are baseline, 2 and 4 are today. I personally think I have maintained and possibly seen very slight improvement though nothing crazy.

    I was thinking of adding in dut 0.5 mg 2x/week and fin only 5x/week. Or minox either once or twice a day although I haven't decided yet. Do you guys think I should add anything in?

    Considering these pics were also taken in bright light it makes it look worse but even in general i do think its very early stages of thinning at the top a bit and the sworl part ofcourse too.

    My hairline was receeding a tiny bit, could just have gone into a mature hairline though. My hairline is all good for now, then this swirl thinning comes up...

    Right now im taking saw palmetto 2x per day, and putting coconut oil and emu oil on my scalp over night and using nizoral 2 percent three times per week. ive been doing those 4 things for a month now since mid september.

    Im just very confused because in regular lighting looking at the back of my hair through a mirror it looks like a relativly normal swirl and even two weeks ago i got my haircut and my hairdresser of 5 years thinks everything is normal and that im not balding. wtf
    Sometimes hair dressers can just be too nice.. out of all the hair dressers I've had, I've only been told by one that my hair is looking in bad shape (due to hair loss).

    Camera flash and the way hair is parted can create the illusion of hair loss. Take more pictures with higher resolution, under different lighting with the flash turned off.

    Hard to say. My crown has been the same since I was 10 years old and its similar to yours.

    Ive been on fin for 1.5 years now and rogaine foam for 6 months I have seen maintenance for sure, possible slight regrowth at the hairline. Hopefully fin can hold my hair until something better comes out. PS i got a few PMs about oils - I stopped using emu oil years ago and just recently stopped coconut oil forever.
