A little thinner than it used to be but nothing too dramatic; hasn't receded or anything.

60$ for the rogaine and around 14$ every odd month or so for the nizoral (i only use it once or twice a week). Finasteride is covered by my health care. - - - Updated - - - I use the foam once or twice daily (haven't been 100% consistent with it) because the liquid burned my scalp and gave me...

13 month update 13 month update! Added vitamin D and fish oil a while ago. Zero sides. If you got any questions feel free to ask :)

11 months in* So I'm making another update for anyone following my treatment course. So far its just more of the usual; meaning my hair is slowly but surely gaining in thickness. I'm very grateful I decided to take the plunge around this time last year and I feel a lessening of my crippling...

Even with propecia there is nothing fully guaranteed; it could go either way really or just remain at the same level (which is still considered a success in itself). So without propecia the only option is going thinner at the rate you currently are; so if you're fully comfortable with that...

The only link I found with androgens and heart disease is that lower testosterone levels in ageing men has been linked to poor cardio vascular health. So why is there such a strong correlation between thinning crowns and heart disease? You really believe that they are in no way related?

Actually I just googled balding crown the first time and it came up; I seriously would have never expected this, it was a pretty big shock. So (even though I find this expression annoying) your argument is completely invalid. Either way it wouldn't be confirmation bias since the studies have...

Actually the way its presented in these articles is that crown baldness (especially at a young age) is a potential sign that you are at risk & may develop heart disease. As for the reasons..yeah nothing has been discussed. Maybe because the heart reduces its supply of blood flow to the top of...

First of all, if you have no family history of heart disease or diabetes; this has no relation to you. I also made it clear that this only applies to those whose hairloss started with crown thinning (such as myself). 2nd; a 36% chance increase in developing heart disease in people with thinning...

looks like plain old receding; diffuse hair loss would be more or less evenly on the top of the head. Either get on the big 3 if you wanna do something about it.

Proof of a link between health and hair loss If you do a quick search for "balding crown risk" you will find that a lot of new research is coming out linking heart disease with crown thinning. Basically stating that men with crown thinning are more likely to develop heart disease, HOWEVER men...

If you look around the forum you'll find loads of people who started balding at 16-17 years old, so it's not super uncommon. It seems like you could just have a mature hairline; meaning that it naturally isn't straight and might remain that way the rest of your life. The pics of the side of your...

It's next to impossible to give you any worthwhile opinion without seeing some pictures. Anything less is just random speculation from our parts.

Wow I would've never expected these kinds of results, this is incredible; you've practically reversed your condition. How much biotin are you taking every day?

Brace yourself to continue losing more hair. I tried saw palmetto, green tea capsules, biotin and all that crap for over a year. The only result was I lost ground that will never be fully recovered. Are you serious about not being bald? Then get on the real treatments now because time is your...
