hey everyone, while this is not some resounding success story, i think its somewhat encouraging. i am 21 years old and noticed my hairline receding and overall thinning about 9 months ago. i got on finasteride , and i am finishing my 6th month now. while i definitely had a decline initially...

looks great actionpack. im jealous.

hey guys, not to be rude or make you feel worse, but maybe u need to reconsider the friends you have around you. i know for a fact that my friends would never point out something like that or poke fun at a person for something like balding. they know its a sensitive issue for most people and...

Hey guys, so i've recently tried dermatch and it loosk great. however, do you use it every day? i am afraid to start using it in case i am not able to put it on some mornings if i dont have time, and people will notice that my hair keeps changing from thin to thick. what has your approach...

no its great i love it. you do need a fair amount of hair though, otherwise it has nothing to cling on to. but i have a very thin front and a couple thin spots and it works great. ive become quite dependant on ... for good or bad...

douggie you are a champ for giving us feedback. woulkd you mind giving us a quick summary of what happened every 2-3 months or so? just so we can know what to expect if we are good responders? best of luck in the future!

the one thing i HUGELY recommend is to find a great barber that you go to regularly. i have a barber that is totally bald at a nice salon and he knows how to cut my hair that after each haircut i look great and far from losing my hair. and its nice because even though he knows its getting worse...

thanks guys. i think i will condition my hair more and generally wait until the 1 year mark on propecia to make any decisions on other stuff like lasercomb. keep on keepin' on

Hey guys, While I hate my overall thinning and recession in the front, probably what bothers me the most is that my hair quality everywhere has gotten so much worse over the past 6 months when I noticed my male pattern baldness. Is this due to the miniaturization of the follicles and therefore they come back...

thats a really good question. only thing i can think of is they may need approval from the people whose pictures they took. but these should be easy to get since they still retain annonymity of the people b/c its taken from an angle that doesnt show the face. dunno dude...

I was using 1% for a while which smelled great and made me hair look much better. I then switched to 2% which made my hair much drier and just particularly crappy looking. Now I'm back on 1% and things are looking much better. I would recommend you try both and see which works better for you.

ignoring the fact that a girl that would get rid of a guy who started to lose his hair is not worth your time and certainly not marriage, if you are a good responder to propecia according to the studies you will keep your hair for the next 5 years. in 5 years there will be far superior topical...

no i would not say im a diffused thinner. receding in the front, left side much worse than right, some vertex thinning -- but definitely not diffuse like people on this site that have hair all over its just thinned out. i lose 3 hairs with a simple grab of a tiny area. i lose more if i grab...

hey everyone, ive been on propecia for 3.5 months and while i am still losing hair and density big time, i have not seen an increase in the number of hairs im visibly losing (shower, on shirts and pillow etc). i have not seen any signs that propecia is working, but its still early and im not...
