Awesome results. Thanks for sharing. Did you use minoxidil foam or the liquid?

Awesome results. My hair is alot like your first picture, but mine is worse and totally asymmetrical. I've been using minoxidil (foam), finpecia, and nizoral for five months now and my results can't match yours. I've actually been experiencing a good deal of shedding recently and have been considering...

Those are great results! Wow. In 3 months! I've been on 1mg finasteride daily and using minoxidil 5% for over 4 months now and have only had modest results. My main hair loss problem is all in the front like yours. I really hope it will start to fill in like your hair has! Do you still take finasteride? Or is it only...

Yes, minoxidil can work on the front hairline, but before the foam came out, the liquid made application to the hairline and temples more difficult and the crusty residue would be completely visible given the location. The foam however is oustanding in comparison (the 'scent' aside). The residue is...

Great results SE. You're fortunate (relatively speaking of course) to have had your hairloss restricted to the crown area where treatments seem to be the most effective. I can't help but notice the difference in your hair color in the most recent picture. I've read from other peoples experiences...

Looks good. Definite progress on the crown. But I would definitely add minoxidil. It works well on the crown. Might want to use the liquid because of the length of your hair, but the foam is better in my experience.

Um, don't the directions that come with the foam tell you to use the cap?

I started finasteride tonight as well. Come on hair!!

Hey Boru, I took saw palmetto gel capsules for... quite a long time, not sure exactly. Probably 8 months or more.. maybe a year. I took high quality large daily doses. The side effects were minimal (no real problems). If I took too much all at once I'd get pain in my groin area, but it didn't...

I don't know about tricomin, but revivogen, in addition to be very expensive, is a dark brown thick greasey liquid, and when it dries you have a dark brown crusty layer on your scalp. You have to wash your hair really thoroughly to get the stuff out. minoxidil is better.

Your hair may have thinned out as you said, but it still looks pretty damn good. You're 100x in better shape than me. I'd say go back to finasteride and stick with it. Plus you could just grow yer hair out another .5-1 inch and you'll cover your relative thinning, but still looks great. One day I'll...

Read about minoxidil. It takes a few months of continuous use for you to see results. Six weeks isn't enough time. The shedding you're having is generally expected at this stage. I'd recommend sticking with it. Give it six months and if you have no signs of stabilization or improvement then stop...

Rogaine has worked somewhat for me, but I have real problems with it leaving a crusty layer on my scalp which ends up looking like the world's most massive dandruff. It's disgusting. Does the foam leave the same layer or is it free from these problems??

Ginald, Well in addition to just being ugly, I have a severe case of a genetic skin disorder called Keratosis Pilaris, which basically looks like red, permanent goose bumps which cover your arms and your legs. There's really no treatment for it and definitely no cure either. So add that to my...

I have. I've never seriously attempted it though. I messed myself up badly, but never ended up in the hospital. although i was put "on watch" once too. But, in my case, I'm so hideous I'm practically deformed, and this even before losing all my hair. I had a nightmare of a time getting girls...
