    Exploring The Hormonal Route. Hair=life.

    Your results are looking even more impressive than antydhtor's considering how far your hairloss had progressed. If it's not too much to ask can you post a photo of your current hairline with your hair pulled back? I'm thinking of this as a possible last resort treatment for me in the future and...

    Got Pics Taken For A Formal, No Good Brahs

    No, either go with the full 1mg dose ASAP or don't do it at all. The way i see, is that if you're afraid of finasteride and are happy with your buzzcut then go with SMP route and do more sessions to fill in the bald spots as your hairloss progresses. That sounds like it'd be better and healthier for...

    Got Pics Taken For A Formal, No Good Brahs

    If it makes you feel better you look very normal to me. Since you're already on minoxidil and dermarolling then get on Finasteride or do a SMP eventually, though i have to say you're fortunate that buzzed hair doesn't look bad on you (cue bald might be a different story though).

    What Is Wrongly With The Back Of My Hair?

    It 'should' help with the crown area and that part, in fact it is supposed to help you more there than it would on temples and hairline. (and BTW, is your hairline intact?). I think you're also asking if your donor area would still allow for a transplant, right? Maybe, maybe not, you'd need to...

    What Is Wrongly With The Back Of My Hair?

    It does look like it has less density than normal. Might not mean anything though, if it makes you feel better i know several people who don't have hairloss (yet?) and have a small part of their scalp visible like that when their hair is very short like yours. Just take a picture every month...

    Why I Would Advise Against Taking Finasteride

    The incredible thing about this is that from what i've noticed in this forum, most of people complaining about side effects from Finasteride in here either use a really low dose (below 1mg), were afraid of side effects before they even started the treatment (placebo effect) or weren't consistent...

    Chances Of Beating Genetics And Avoiding Hair Loss

    Take pictures of your hair situation every month and if you notice recession or thinning then get on Finasteride. The chance of you not inheriting your father's hairloss is not zero, but don't count on it, hairloss can go from nonexistent to severe in just a year or two. So it's a good idea to...

    Help Idk Why This Is Happening! Wierd Bumps/texture

    Huh, you seem indeed to be getting regrowth. Can you please post again in 4-6 months so we can see how far it goes? And what exactly were the changes in your diet? Did you just make sure to be getting the proper amount of vitamins, and if so are you taking supplements or getting it from your...

    Samumes Update: As Per Samumed Ceo Sm04554 To Go Directly To Phase 3 Study This Year!

    Maybe we could find out where they're having the phase 3 studies to volunteer for them? They will probably have two phase 3 studies, which means it'll take a while until we see this on the market. So don't get too hyped up for it just yet. A group buy would be a good idea though.

    Considering Starting Spironolactone, Need Advice.

    Okay, so first things first, i have been on a Finasteride 1mg/day treatment for three and a half years now. (23yrs old) and i have pretty much managed to maintain since starting Finasteride, which for most of you would be considered a success story. But i waited far too long to start treating my...

    Left Temple Receding Or Just Paranoid?

    ^you're wrong, really if you can't see his hairloss then you don't know how the hair of someone who has no hairloss is supposed to be like and should refrain from telling people they don't have hairloss. The earlier you catch it the better, and if you don't do anything you'll regret it 100%, and...

    Finasteride Created Crown Pain (burning/bumps)

    I used to use an ice pack to do that. But after 6 months of Finasteride i stopped having inflammation on my scalp so there was no need for that anymore.

    Left Temple Receding Or Just Paranoid?

    I first noticed that exact temple recession at 16, i began to regret not treating it by age 19 when it became noticeable to most people. If by family you mean your father/brothers, then be very worried because the genes of hairloss are also passed down by women and it can manifest even if your...

    If Minoxidil Has A 22 Hour Half Life, Why Do Studies Show Superior Results With 2x Day Use?

    This is just conjecture, but 22 is not the same as 24, so by applying Minoxidil again you're guaranteeing it'll have an effect for the whole day, not just for 22 hours. The superior results in that case would be down to the 2 extra hours of effect, but there might be something else to this.
