Hey all.
I've posted a few topics about my use of Saw Palmetto and Biotin to combat hair loss. I'm gonna try to keep my story short this time.
For the original topic I made about SP and Biotin and the results I've noticed: http://www.baldtruthtalk.com/showthread.php?t=8981
Most all men in my family have hair loss, but none have had any crown loss. My dad, who I take after in pretty much all other physical traits, is an early NW3 (strong forelock), and has been since his mid 20's. He's now 42. If I had to guess, I'd say I'm inheriting his hairline.
My temples have slowly been receding since I was about 19. (21 now)
I'm probably NW2.25 or something like that at the moment. Temples are starting to go back more towards NW3, and the hairline itself is going back just a tiny bit.
A couple of months ago I started taking 320 mg Saw Palmetto extract and 10,000 mcg biotin daily. I didn't want to take propecia because after trying it for a couple of weeks, I started to develop "brain fog" and odd mood swings. It didn't seem worth the risk, as propecia isn't mean for the temples as much, anyway.
After using SP and Biotin for about 7-8 weeks, others have commented on the quality of my hair. I have noticed the improvement as well, but I'll let you guys look at the pics.
The first pic was taken in late 2010 when I was about 20. The reason I chose such an old pic is because that was the last time I had hair at a similar length as what it is now. I had been keeping it short over the past couple of years, but recently decided to grow it back out. At the time of the first pic, I didn't even notice I had hair loss, but as you will see, the quality of my hair wasn't very good. I obviously wasn't taking anything for treatment at the time.
The second pic was taken pretty recently. My hairline is more receded in the more recent pic, but the quality of the hair is much better. The pics really don't show the full difference, either, but you may get the idea.
Enough rambling, though. I'll let you guys see the pics and see what you think. Again, the pic on the left is from 2010. The pic on the right is a couple of weeks ago.
Quite a difference, or not so much?
