Cool

Hi people, Long story short; 40, been on Min since 18, on finasteride since 30 and use the Nizoral when I shower (also lately, coal tar shampoo, but that's been more or a benefit for bad dandruff). Currently on oral Min (5mg) and finasteride (1mg) and microneedle about once a week. Also finally kicked...

Hope anyone and everyone out there is doing alright. Revisiting this old post. On the other side of 35 now and wondering if it might be time to start thinking about that anticipated transplant. Just find it hard to style and I only look worse with my head shaved. Took a look at myself on a...

So... it's been a few months. I've been seeking treatment for general anxiety for a little while now, but had kind of a moment yesterday where I couldn't make anything work well enough to leave the house. I get that I may have more hair than some, but and maybe a transplant is an expensive stab...

There are days when I definitely do, and I know in retrospect even though I did technically start relatively early, I’ve had lots of good hair days. I did also get on minoxidil as soon as I knew there was a generic brand (thanks Costco) and found a dermatologist as soon as I had one near me. I’ve...

I can appreciate that sentiment. Different severities of the same malady. In my position it’s watching the slow death of hairstyles that I used to love to rock. I’m in a band and being around progressively younger and younger folks as I feel like I’m just coming into my own is a little...

I will say that is has been a boon to hear from the community. Thanks all, keep me mostly upbeat for a couple of years.

Back at it again... been awhile and wondering what the opinions and consensus of treatment is lately. I’ve New much shorter pics. Thinking about transplant in a year as I might have some money, but not sure about the amount needed to make things look less old. Sometime I feel like jut the right...

Thanks for the reply Michel As for on and off it was mainly in my early to mid 20s. I never really stopped fully, I was just lazy ie. not every day/not twice a day, might stop for a couple of days/ a week or a month if I happened to run out. Never felt like a worse than usual shed but I feel...

Interesting... and thank you, im not fishing for hair compliments, but I'll take fine. My siblings give me hell for my regime, but my immediate younger brother is two years my junior and muuuuuuch worse off (large bald spot and receding) and my youngest brother is following my dad with notched...

Sooo. . . I've always had a lot of hair but began losing it since I turned 18. I noticed that what used to naturally comb backwards into a pretty great, if wiry pompadour, began to lay more flat around the time I graduated from high school. I started combing it forward or to the side and...

Not that it matters, but pic updates. Hope everyone out there's been dealing well with life. been trimming it shorter. . . Still thinking about transplant, but wondering if it's better to wait or pounce as early as possible and what any of the folks here would speculate on costs...

Density, density has been good. About a 1/4 - 1/2" behind the recession areas looks fine... There was a spell where I was getting wicked irritation/inflammation around the center of my cowlick, lately not so much though. Here's some wet picks... I know, steamy.

Thanks for responding. As far as hairline, I guess angles are everything. I like to think I do ok with what I've got I think. . . Except for the days I don't My real worry is when what I've got isn't what I've got now. I've only really experienced shedding when I got lazy and stopped minoxidil...
