If he was happy going bald, he wouldn't come here. At 17, I would start taking biotin supplements and using nizoral shampoo. At 18, get on the other big 2, finasteride/min.

Another update... so soon I know. I think I might be having a shed, its not massive, but I'm noticing lots of thin, 1 - 1 1/2 inch hairs (some have faint color) coming out very easily. I'm hoping this will make room for larger hairs, but I guess the short run might get a little hectic, hopefully...

I don't recall aggressive hair loss in my first few weeks.

I hate the flash too, but I usually forget/don't have time to take daylight pics. I would like to add that I've added biotin to my regimen about a week & 1/2 ago, 5000mcg per day. I used to take it in much much smaller quantities and stopped, but I'm going to put it into overdrive and see if...

Re: Bill Shakespeare's Story - (2 month finasteride and nizoral update!!) I'll just throw this out there, you might want to add biotin to your regimen. Its a supplement you can buy over the counter, it promotes hair growth. I've been taking it now to supplement finasteride/min/nizoral. Its cheap so you don't really...

Yes, I get this too. I have a comb I use just for when I apply minoxidil, try finer tooth combs (not too fine though, it may take out extra hairs). Then when you think you've got it all out, use a fresh comb. I have to do this because I have longer hair, it might be easier for short hair, but yes I...

Re: CBFs' story 23 (Pics) Good progress. Make sure you stay on it and don't quit or you will lose it all.

Another update. Just after a shower with Nizoral. Still on propecia, trying to get rogaine in twice a day, but at least once a day. I will continue both treatments. I still see vellus hairs that aren't terminal, I don't know if its supposed to take this long but I wish they would darken up...

I've heard things about dutasteride and stuff, I don't know. I've lost a lot of my drive and I don't think its the lifestyle change. I heard people say they had side effects for a while but they wore off, I've been on this for nearly 5 months now so I really need to know... Yes I've had some...

I think I am going to get off propecia. For a while I have been changing my lifestyle in general and thought that side effects were just mental and not real, but I truly believe I am experiencing side effects from propecia and I'm going to quit immediately. Is there an alternative I can replace...

At least get on nizoral if you don't want to get on meds, it should make your hair look thicker.

About a week short of a month since my last update, but I felt like putting this up. This time its dry, after showering with nizoral on top and head & shoulders for the rest of my hair. It also looks like my scalp is not red/irritated like in the first pic, it could have been the light but I...

I have noticed some colorless hairs growing in since I started my regimen 3 months ago, and I was wondering if it is possible to dye them (so they are visible). Has anyone tried this? What are the results?

Wait, are you suffering from hair loss, or hair growth?

Small update with pics November 29th There might be minor improvements visible, not sure, but I am more interested in the progress that I can't capture on camera. Colorless hairs are filling in the center of my hairline, all along the hairline as far back as an inch is visible, and some...
