    Diffuse thinners, buzz your hair...

    You got to buzz it down shorter. I know it sounds weird, but the shorter the better. It's like you expect the scalp to show at that point so it kind of hides your lose. This is awesome for diffuse thinners that have their hairline intact or somewhat intact. Trust me. If you think it looks to...

    Percentage of men under 30 suffering from male pattern baldness?

    Does anyone have a figure for the percentage of men suffering from male pattern baldness under 30 or around 30...basically premature hairloss? Before I get flamed on how useless this is, I know, I know...it's useless. I'm just curious that's all =)

    5 month mark on finasteride, will I bounce back? Need some support!

    Thanks for the response guys, I'll keep everyone posted on my progress. I hope I bounce back SOON! I think I read more hairs shed during summer so I can't wait until the days of summer are over! LOL =)

    Recovering from Propecia shed

    Hey man, I'm at month 5. I went through a bad shed I think, well I know my hair got dramatically worse after starting finasteride. I haven't recovered yet, and I made a post recently about this which no one replied to. It's good to hear you've stablized, hopefully you'll get regrowth, hang in there...

    5 month mark on finasteride, will I bounce back? Need some support!

    Well I've hit the 5 month mark and my diffuse thinning is still looking bad. I know, I know, I need to give it a year or so...but this is sooooo depressing. Before I went on finasteride (proscar 1/4 every day) my hair was thinning all over, but only noticable on close examination...I mean it was...

    Start minoxidil in 1 spot now...years later add it to the rest?

    Well I'm guessing I wouldn't put the whole 1ml on that tiny spot, I'd use less. When my diffuse hairloss gets really bad I guess I could use more. :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

    I think of it as sort of a tolerance. Using it now would mean it would lessen the effect later when I need to use it all over.

    What time does everyone take their finasteride?

    I take mine at night right before I go to bed. I never gave it much thought, but the idea just popped in my head just now. I'm guessing it probably makes no difference, but I figure better safe than sorry. So is there a recommended time to take it?

    Start minoxidil in 1 spot now...years later add it to the rest?

    Thanks, I was hoping to put off minoxidil as long as possible. The dependence thing as well as a possible shed are a bit of a turn off. It's still up in the air for me. Maybe I'll give finasteride another month or two for recovering the tiny baldspot. For now, couvre does hide it well.

    diffuse thinners - cut your hair SHORT and use COUVRE!

    I'm not on the norwood scale at all actually. My hairline is totally intact, though I did find a tiny baldspot at the top, which is why I'm using the couvre. Actually my hair is pretty thin, using the couvre all over the top really helps, and with hair this short it's easier to apply. I...

    diffuse thinners - cut your hair SHORT and use COUVRE!

    I have black hair. I am on proscar, nizoral, folligen. But my hair looks like crap, and it's hard to style. This is a lot better for me now.

    diffuse thinners - cut your hair SHORT and use COUVRE!

    I shaved my hair just now. 2 guard on the sides and back, 3 guard on the top. It looks ok now, and I don't have to deal with the daily struggle to style my limp thin hair. But after I put couvre on now, my hair looks GREAT! I was afraid couvre would be noticable with this short hair, but it...

    Start minoxidil in 1 spot now...years later add it to the rest?

    Well I'm a diffuse thinner. I finally decided to cut my hair really short. I did it myself just now. I did a 2 guard on the sides and back, with a 3 on top. I have to say I'm really pleased with how this looks. My hair looks thin but you wouldn't really know I'm balding...except.... I...
