Losing ten hairs or so while shampooing is quite normal, considering that every human being loses 100-150 hairs a day on average. I lose a lot more than ten while shampooing. Telogen Effluvium is a stress or trauma induced condition, making you lose a lot of hair in a short time. If you have Telogen Effluvium, don;t worry...

I agree with some other posters.. looks like you have slightly improved. At the very least you have maintained. Congrats! Don't jump on minoxidil as long as you are not loosing ground. Your pattern of thinning is almost identical to mine: diffuse on top/ at the back of the parting. However, i...

I am on finasteride for more than two years and use spironolactone and nizoral... Shedding of hair has never stopped (200+ a day). Thinning predominantly on top and crown. Can't part my hair properly anymore, so i comb it backward. I have been optimistic from time to time, but there is no denial that i am...

Fluridil.

Uk-Propecia I am still on finasteride. Started propecia in July 2004 after noticing crown and vertex thinning (hairline was still NW1), switched to 1/4 proscar in July 2005. Last May, i added spironolactone to my regimen. No, my hair has never improved since starting finasteride. Especially my temples have...

I first noticed crown and vertex thinning when i was 24, while my teenage hairline was still intact. Diffuse thinning sucks since it's so hard to hide, but - to look on the bright site - it made me aware of my hairloss in an early stage. Unfortunately, after starting treatments my hairline...

Some people have naturally thinner crowns, i think. However, you should compare your present situation with a couple of years ago - i tell you nothing new with that, i think. My crown is slightly worse than yours, while i used to have a 'normal' one. So yes, i would say that you have vertex...

UK Propecia, i can totally affiliate to your story. Exactly the same thing has happened to me. Diffuse thinning, and after starting fina permanent shedding and sudden receding of the hairline. However, my top has remained the same for the last two years, more or less. I tend to believe that...

Hi Taugenichts, my hairloss is almost identical to yours, especially on top (same diffuse vertex/ crown thinning). My hair colour is almost the same as yours. My hairline used to be straight too, but now slowly turning into a V. I am on my way to, but haven't quite reached Norwood 2 yet, though. I...

I am from Holland, and i feel that it is something like a taboo to actually tackle your hair problem - well, at least to talk about tackling it. Somehow i feel that in countries like the USA this is way more accepted. I am 27 and have been trying to halt my hairloss for two years now. At least...

I can affiliate with your story. I am a diffuse thinner, almost two years on finasteride now without much success (recently added spironolactone), and i have the same thing going on, especially with my left temple. It is mainly the area above my temple and further back near my ear. But my left temple itself is...

My hair is fairly long, so the hairs that do fall out are pretty long and wavy too. They do seem to become thinner and thinner with every progressing season, so i do consider that a bad sign.. :(

Dark one, i am considering to order spironolactone because i am not maintaining on Proscar.. I have rapidly progressing temples (NW2 now, but a lot of thinning behind them) and diffuse thinning on top. I heard that spironolactone 5% is too hard to apply on the top when there is still hair there. How do you manage...

I am a diffuse thinner (26), very thin hair at the back of the vertex and some temporal recession. After 1,5 years of finasteride i am still losing ground. I comb my hair backwards to hide my thinning mop, which sucks. I want to add spironolactone to my regimen to see if it can halt the thinning. Now, i've...

I hope so.. I am almost 18 months on finasteride and my hair has gone worse..
