You are most likely seeing delayed results from the minoxidil. I would strongly encourage you to restart it, because if you don't I suspect you'll have a nice big shed in the near future. Continue the shampoo and multivitamins if you want, they won't hurt. You're at a point now where you should...

About me: Slowly balding since age 20. Currently 28. Thin crown + severe frontal balding. On Big 3 + multivitamin/biotin since 08/25/2016. My goals: Thicken crown. Regrow as much as forelock as possible. Hair transplant to fix hairline. My progress so far: Hair looks a bit thicker overall...

You have classic male pattern baldness, the root cause is DHT. You need to be on finasteride and take it every single day for the rest of your life. You need to consistently use minoxidil 5% twice a day. You should also add in Nizoral because it's fast, easy, and cheap. It looks like you have already lost your...

Been on finasteride/min/keto/biotin/sulfate-free shampoo for 5 weeks. "Hairline" shown in blue. Be sure to zoom in. Are these old hairs at the end of the miniaturization process, or new hairs? Higher-res version: http://imgur.com/a/aff2g

Yeah I would agree with this. OP it looks like your hair is quite a bit longer in the second pic. Maintaining what you have is success, but I don't think you've made progress. Unless your hair is the same length in both pics, or you have close-up pics showing new hairs sprouting.

I have been on min/keto on and off for several years. I have a lot of vellus hairs in my frontal area. I have been on finasteride for 1 month and it seems like my vellus hairs are slightly longer, and a little bit thicker. It's starting to look like a downy covering on my scalp instead of scattered...

Well, I got a new phone and the camera is able to pick up these very fine hairs. They're invisible to my naked eye in most lighting conditions. To be honest, it doesn't matter, I'm just glad the follicles are alive and doing something. I supposed I'm mostly looking for encouragement. Depending...

There are small dark hairs growing in my frontal area. I can't tell if these are new hairs sprouting or heavily miniaturized hairs that are old and I'm just now seeing them. I buzzed my hair with a 1/2-guard (1/16" of an inch) about 6 weeks ago. I have been on min/keto off and on for years...
