I recall seeing results very early at the beginning of my regimen - I don't know if it was within a month, but it was fast.

I've been taking it since 22. No sides. I wish I had started at 18, I'd probably have all my hair :P 1 mg per day, maybe even less, is the optimal dose. And go to the gym! The benefits of even 30 minutes of exercise 3 times a week are huge. You'll look and feel better, and believe me...

Laser is not FDA approved, so stay away. Don't go to those rip off shops. They'll try to brainwash you. Basically, your two options are (1) the big three treatments or (2) hair transplant later on down the road. A transplant has two varities: FUT: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Follicular...

Agreed. And Doug, perhaps I should elucidate a bit more: while I am absolutely certain that male pattern baldness has been around for millennia, I do feel like our sloppy, overindulgent, silky lifestyle - over the generations - has increased our genetic disposition to baldness. Just a theory, I have no proof...

Re: Eight years? No more loss. Then you gotta do everything in your power to keep it, and that means maintaining a positive attitude. If we carry ourselves with a shitty, negative outlook, it will shine through and hurt our other prospects in life, including with women. I hate girls who are...

That's correct. There is no reason for male pattern baldness, gentlemen, and certainly it's occurrence is no fault of your own (save perhaps the evolution of the western lifestyle over generations and generations.) I've heard the various diet, beating off, et cetera, theories and have found them wanting...

Re: Eight years? No more loss. 1. Transplant: Not at this stage of the game. I've consulted with some docs in the NYC area and they have recommended that I not do it until 35-40 years old or so when my loss has stabilized. The bottom line is that, eventually, I will get to where I'm...

Well, soap was originally derived from fatty acids and lye, which remains the base of all soap to this day. I can and have made my own soap from beef fat and lye. And of course, we've all seen fight club (using liposuction fat to produce high-end consumer soap). All shampoo derives from...

Don't do anything until you see signs of hair loss. You are not guaranteed to go bald, but you should watch closely for signs around 18 or so.

Re: Eight years? No more loss. Well, my hairline got a little better, but not astoundingly so. I had some hairs on the hairline that had thinned but had not yet shrunk so much as to be invisible; those came back and became cosmetically normal. Where there was a slick bald spot...not much to...

Hello all, I began on these forums in 2002, I believe, right after I graduated college. At the time I was a Norwood 2.5. I had some recession on the temples with a fairly large thinning spot on the crown. Embarrassing for a 22 year old. Once I had gained some basic knowledge, I immediately...

Finasteride has been effective for me for 7 years now.

That's incorrect. I have both crown and hairline loss.

No way to tell for certain. Personally I would not do a transplant of more than 500 the first time, just to see how I respond. You ever see those poor bastards with 2 or 3 ear to ear strip scars and only a few awful looking plugs to show for it? Now, if you're looking to "fill in" your Norwood 2, I...
