    Thanks Bromin

    By 5 hair I mean I loose 5 hair each time I run my fingers no matter how many times I do it during my shower.. So it's alarming.. If I start to count the actual number of hair I loose after each shower, I will probably go mad.I sometimes wonder how my hair still looks ok when it's dry and it kills me to come to terms with the fact that it's not going to last long and not going to look the same in a couple of months.

    I will probably go for a medical check up here in the coming weeks but since I take vitamin supplements everyday, I doubt if there is a deficiency in that area.I am trying hard to keep my stress levels low by having short haircut and currently using a styling product that keeps my hair from being a mess when I go outside. One day it looks ok and the other day I see that I am clearly loosing ground.. Everyday is war

    Howardroarke, if you want to try Minoxidil I suggest you buy a small amount first! Don't buy it in bulk yet. You may or may not suffer from side effects like fatigue or nausea which would not exactly improve the quality of your life.

    Default Should I keep using Minixodil in the front?

    I have been using Minoxidil in the frontal part too and especially in the frontal portion of side part where I felt I was loosing more hair.. But I have been noticing that the hair in that area where I have been applying more liquid has thinned a lot and lost density in the past month to the point that I can count the number of hair there..

    Is it better to stop using Minoxidil in the hairline and use it only in the crown , mid and frontal scalp where it is known to show results? Any one who had similar experience with frontal thinning due to minox usage and later regrown a better quality hair? Please drop in your comments..

    Default Had a short haircut and it looks awful

    Got my hair shortened after a long time and as expected, it looks horrible. My corners have receeded like hell. I can only hope that the minox has done this to grow back thicker hair. if not, I am screwed. Close crop will be my only option in a few months and I think I don't have the head for it
    Please tell me if it's better to stop using minox on hairline and use it only on my mid scalp and crown. Or should I wait to see if it grows thicker hair? It has been 5 months since I started using minoxidil...

    Default Is hair gel making my hair thinner?

    Hey guys.. here is the update on my progress

    I have been on finasteride 1 mg (Finapecia) for 13 months . I discontinued the use of 10% minox after 5 months of use because I felt it's better to stop it early as I might not be able to keep with the routine in future .As per the suggestions of some of the forum members, I first reduced usage to once at night and then to alternate days and then after a while stopped it altogether . Without a doubt I see reduction in the amount of hair I loose. But still feel that my hairline and hair at my right temple are rapidly thinning.

    My hair naturally falls to my forehead and so it is very difficult to keep a groomed look unless I use a styling product. So far I have tried many and one one that seems to do a reasonably good job is the hair gel from Gatsby.Without this gel in my hair.. it would fly crazy when I go out and I know it looks horrible. So.. I am not sure if this hair gel which I mostly use on my frontal hair and sides (pic on my previous post) is responsible for the thinning of my hair.

    Only other option I could see now if I stop using the Gel is to buzz my hair close . But I am afraid it might not go well with my face as I have a M shaped hairline..Looking forward for your comments and suggestions.
