    I just looked into the mirror.....(sry, more whining)

    ..and I do apologize for going a little crazy, but come on fellas! It's not the end of the world! One door closes, another door opens!

    Neo, I encourage you to stay at this website, because you aren't psycho about hairloss like many are. In the end, I think you will end up liking yourself better, whether or not you regrow anything. You're a nice guy, I like you. But remember, hair isn't a substitute for confidence.

    I just looked into the mirror.....(sry, more whining)

    My treatment was showing good results. But I don't want to be a slave to drugs and products that won't work forever. I like my new look better. And this isn't me in my avatar. My hairline is way better than that.

    I just looked into the mirror.....(sry, more whining)

    I had some other things written originally, but f*ck it. This insecurity from this thread is the exact reason I left this website. While I respect those who really are just here for advice and are levelheaded (most of the mods fit into this category, with a few other regular posters), the rest...

    Honestly, it's people like JayB and others which turn an online community for those who seek help, like this one, into a cesspool of whiny crybabies who worship their Rogaine bottles like the Second Coming. Blondeguy, who happens to be my older brother, has infinitely bigger balls than I do...

    Shaved my head with a 3 guard

    If my clipper guards are labeled correctly, a 3 guard is 3/8 of an inch (about 10 mm). Yesterday I cut mine down to 3/16in (about 4.5 mm) for Spring Break. It's amazing feeling, and I think I have the facial features to be able to pull off the look of a close buzz if I want to keep it this...

    Is keeping one's hair very short a good idea?

    I guess it depends on how much hair you've lost, and where.

    Is keeping one's hair very short a good idea?

    2 days ago, I was a hair's width away (har har) from buzzing my hair off because of how awful it was looking on my right temple. But instead, I went down to 1 inch, and I comb it straight down (but still making it look a little messy) and it almost completely hides it. Sure, my hair isn't as...

    OW, my nipples! Now what?

    What about topicals like revivogen, or spironolactone? I'm not familiar with them, ingredient-wise. Are they anti-DHT, or are they just a bunch of "helpful" stuff to compliment the big 3? Oh, and the nipple sensations have stopped after being finasteride-free for a week. I also feel a little better...

    Can't get rid of dandruff HELP!!

    What brand of minoxidil are you using (if you are using it)? For me, the cheap brands always flaked off like a mofo (even when using Nizoral), until I switched to Rogaine foam and I no longer deal with that crap. If that's not the problem, I suggest a visit to a dermatologist.

    Haircut?

    I've found that, when I grow my hair out longer than 1 inch, I have more to style with so it looks 'cooler', but it's almost impossible to make the temple recession on my right side look acceptable (the left side isn't so bad). Now, I constantly cut it to 1 inch on top, and 3/4 inch on the...

    The best hair thickening shampoos

    How often do you use either the Aveda or Diametress?

    OW, my nipples! Now what?

    Okay, so I've been using my Dr. Reddy's Finast from Unitedpharmacies for about 5 months. For whatever reason, I decided I would get Cipla brand Fincar (also from United) for my next 5 month supply. I don't know if there's a correlation, but a day or two after switching brands, my left nipple...

    Finasteride and headaches

    I ordered Dr. Reddy's Finast from unitedpharmacies.com, and have been taking 1.25 mg a day for a week now. These last few days I've been feeling tension/headache in my upper neck/lower skull, and it's been making concentrating in college a little difficult at times. Has anybody experienced...
