Booyah ... I'll be borrowing that! Guy ... I'm in the same boat as you. Norwood 4 diffuse at early 20's? EXCEPT my family is poor and so am I. hair transplant? Haaaa, never. Basically I just said "@#$ it" and forgot about my hairloss and just shaved it off at 20, hit the gym and did what I was good at...

Yes, I am in the exact same situation as you. 5 months on the "BIG THREE" and losing hair again. Let's ride it out.

Yups, I starting losing hair at 18 as well. My friends were the first to notice it since I was totally oblivious to it. Thanks to them, I was aware of it and now I am treating it, but only 3 years later. But people have NOT made fun of me about my hair. Even if they do, it doesn't hurt...

Another side effect I have experienced is ACNE and oily face. I thought my acne was gone for good, but propecia just brought it back. Hormones are getting out of whack. I have been on it for nearly 5 months.

I really don't think losing less or losing more hair is a good indication of whether the treatments have any effect on hairloss. I believe that the diameter of the hairshafts is a better indication. And so far, all hairs that fall out have miniaturization. Even though I am losing alot less...

Hey, I would like to know as well. 90% of the hairs that fall out are very thin in diameter and only grow to max 1/2 in - 1in long when all my hairs are longer than 5 in!

I am currently a NW2 diffuse thinner, only at the age of 21. The diffuse thinning is very noticeable since no matter what, people can see my scalp all on top. It is funny how you realize you have male pattern baldness only when friends keep on telling you about your baldspot. Without them, I am sure I woudl...

LOL You on B5 eh? Did it help you out? I mega-dosed on that and only just helped me lose hair ... 200+ in the shower. Great news ... because I am in exactly the same boat as you. Except I am already a NW2 with diffuse @ 21.

Great explanation Gardener! I have come to believe that genetics is the major factor in everything. I used to have bad acne, and it would never go away even with prescribed acne medication (except Accutane). Then after 5 yrs, most of my acne just went away. Almost overnight...

Yups, I am already on propecia and minoxidil since Aug 2003. Forgot to update sig ... but ya, I dropped Saw Palmeto long time ago already. I guess that 0.5 inch is the maximum length these dying hairs can get. Hopeful to see resutls from propecia soon. I would be satisfied just to maintain.

I am 21 yrs old diffuse thinner but with a nw2 receding hairline.] Now my question is that 95% of the hairs that fall out are very very thin (almost colourless) and are 0.5 inches long. It's amazing how consistent they are in length and diameter. I would take pics if i could afford a...

4.5 months of the big 3 and my hair loss seem to have to slowed down. You're not alone BOMBSCIENCE, ... the hairs that fall out are as thin as Ally McBeal on a diet, and are at least half as long as the rest of my hair (super short). Well at least I don't loose more than 200+ a day...

Hello, I am new to this hairloss business. I am 21 yrs old with a NW2.5-3, and I believe I started to loose hair 2 years ago. Before starting the big 3, I usually loose around 100-150 hairs in the shower everyday. After starting the regimen, I am now loosing 200+ hairs. I just did a...

LOL, I wouldn't mind loosing hair driving a Ferrari convertible. MHP. I have been on Minodoxil for 4 weeks, but I believe this is not a shed, since I still lose approx. the same amount of hair as b4 Rogaine and Saw Palmetto. I will go for the BIG 3 treatment.

I am 21 yrs old (I think NW2-3) and am losing hair very quick. I am currently on just Rogaine 5% and Nizoral since my Doctor thinks I am too young for Propeica. Being in Canada, I have to get a prescription. I'd assume that a few strands of hair falling out when combing is natural. But I...
