    Does Ketoconazole Work As An Anti-androgen?

    I feel like Nizoral doesn't get enough praise. I used to use it once per week and some weeks got lazy and forgot. Then I decided to start getting a little more serious and started using it every 3 days without fail, and leaving it in for longer. I have since had several very obvious new hairs...

    Is It Possible That My Dht Was Too High?

    I have had a very positive experience with propecia since I started it 2.5 years ago, not just because of it stopping (and reversing) my hairloss, but also a host of other positive side effects. My previously low sex drive is now at least average. My hyperhydrosis is a thing of the past. And my...

    3 month results on Big 3 and counting (Early 20s with Diffuse Thinning)

    I had similar great results on my crown, but other areas didn't get much regrowth, just maintenance

    Incredible recovery from NW5: the power of super aggressive regimens!

    I had exactly the same problem when I temporarily quit minoxidil at one point.. Jumped straight back on it 5 months later after losing half my density on top

    Thinking of starting minoxidil but not entirely sure.

    i use it once a day just before bed, i don't bother with a hat or anything... haven't noticed any stains on my pillows

    Almost 3 Years On Finasteride And Minoxidil. Still Shedding.

    I am slightly above baseline from when I started finasteride 2 years ago, but I still shed loads too... It's worrying :/ although its the opposite for me... I can only pull hairs from the back donor area if I pull really hard. But even if I just brush the top of my head lightly, hair falls onto my desk...

    finasteride/dutasteride + RU/CB

    I'd take dutasteride if I could get it from a regulated supplier in the UK. I don't trust online pharmacies at all. Will have to stick to finasteride here. :(

    Finasteride 7 months lost all gains from month 5 and below baseline.

    finasteride has been a bit of a rollercoaster for me too. Been on it for 2 years now, it seems to have stabilised as of ~6 months ago. I'm slightly above baseline.

    How many grafts do I need to get NW2?

    Been on minoxidil for 5 years and finasteride for 2 years which has stabilised me very well, but not happy with the small (albeit still some) regrowth so looking to mainly patch the temples up and maybe some thickening on top. Not trying to get back my NW1 hairline, think more along the lines of NW2. What...

    Can you tell me your opinion?

    This is what scared me into not taking it for years. Only a small percentage of men get them. The UK NHS website says under 1%. Keep in mind millions of men take this drug world wide, so 1% is still a large number - and that minority seem to be VERY vocal about it. In 2 years I have had no side...

    Can you tell me your opinion?

    You look NW3 to me (same as me). Minoxidil + Nizoral will only mask the problem for a few years - they do very little to prevent damage of hair follicles and further loss. I wish it had been finasteride I started 5 years ago instead of minoxidil... But all the scare mongerers stopped me. Get on...

    Best places in the UK for a transplant

    London -> Brussels is 2.5 hours for <£60 return journey on the Eurostar, probably the same as it'd take to get to somewhere on the south coast from London.

    Affording a hair transplant

    I'd rather do it myself with a butter knife

    Do you guys see progress?!

    The 'after' pic needs to be the same angle and lighting... If I have good lighting and angle I can look NW1 despite being NW2.5

    How much donor hair do I have?

    I read most men have 6000-8000 donor hair... But does this count the sides? My sides are curly, but straight at the back and on top so I can't use the sides as donor hair, although my back is very thick and dense.
