the benefits of lifting weights and putting on size will far outweigh the slight (unproven?) risk of losing more hair. I have been on treatment for 3 years and noticed no accelerated loss whilst lifting for the past year. Even if it does, I would rather be big and bald than skinny and bald.

yeah trust me i speak from experience, once a day and it WILL f*** your hair up eventually. stick to 2/3 times week max

I used to work in a company where one person noticed I was wearing hair concealer on my crown and openly made comments & told other people about it, making me feel like s***. Fast forward 12 months, the guy went from nw1 to nw3 in the space of months. Justice was definitely served - but even...

Here are pictures of my progress on an old thread I started: http://www.gourmetstylewellness.com/interact/showthread.php/77546-My-Results-over-15-months-*-WITH-PICS-*-finasteride-and-minoxidil As things stand, I am better off than the baseline picture but slightly worse off than the second picture, I have...

I have been taking finasteride/minoxidil for over 2 years now and overall am better off than baseline. I have experienced 3 big bursts of regrowth along the way which are always followed by 6 months of light shedding (I am currently in a shed phase). I am currently at NW3 with crown thinning. I will be...

definitely not... maybe NW3 or NW2 if you are a good responder

definitely an improvement although the lighting doesn't give a fair representation. If you go for a short back and sides (2/3) faded in to a scissor trim on top, it will drastically minimise the thinning spot!

its a case of doing a simple cost/benefit analysis. What are the benefits of propecia (stall hair loss, potential hair growth, thickening hair, cure your depression, give you back control, confidence, appearence), what are the costs (a minuscule chance of side effects). Hair loss is rough...

Yes it did. Funnily enough I experienced my best load of regrowth yet after that shed. It definitly made me shed hair that isn't being affected by male pattern baldness yet though so just cut use down and ride it out. You will be ok.

I remember a guy who used to publicly tease me and spread rumours about me at work when he noticed I was using concealer (I was 21 yrs old at NW3 with crown thinning). This guy was a typical cocky NW1. Fast forward a year he started losing hair EVERYWHERE and FAST too! Went to NW3 in a matter...

I posted a thread on Nizoral while back. Basically I went a bit crazy with it (daily use) and shed a huge amount of hair... even ended up with a "landing strip" thin patch down the top of my head where I was letting it sit for 10 minutes. Be careful

' Also I am not a troll. I have 88 posts and you have 53. ' You have more posts than me because you reply to every comment with an even stupider answer. I try to contribute to this forum. You are right, one day the balding gene will slap you in the face and you will wish you spent more of...

sorry man but you need some psychological help. you have a full head of hair that most people on this forum (me included) would kill for. Not too sure if this is a troll post?

Yes I think it is clear you are thinning in the last picture (in brighter light). I would give a lower guard a go!
