Hi all, I'm a new here, but sadly not to the loosing/lost hair story. I started loosing my hair in the mid/late 20s, and started wearing a hair (unit) about 15 years ago (now 47), and I'm just getting tired of it. I will say that the place I've been going to is very good at making it look natural, but again just tired of it and want as much of my real hair back!!!!
Right now I'm about half way between a 5A & 6 on this baldness chart, but a 10-15% density along the top.
Two questions about options I'm thinking of.
1. How much of a successfully candidate would I be for hair transplants.
2. I've also been thinking of going the route of a combination of finasteride and minoxidil for a year to see what kind of results I could get. The question I have on this - If this was to work, and I get a substantial regrowth back that I'm happy with, could I stop taking the finasteride and just keep using the minoxidil to keep what grew back? I don't want to be taking finasteride for the next 20+ years.
Once I retire, then I may just shave all off, but for now I feel that I'm just too young for that route (personally).
Any help/opinions/stories/options would be GREATLY appreciated.
