How does Jack Black do it? Check out his Wikipedia page - total NW3 action going on up there. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Black. This is from 2007. But look at him on a tour in the same timeframe: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Jack_Black_2006.jpg Unless he lost THAT MUCH hair in a...

Just noticed my temples receding this year. Went on minoxidil as a precaution and will move to Propecia in a few months if I see any sort of reaction from the minoxidil (which I have) Looking at other people on NW3 from various blogs's, I'm not even close to that bad, but my dermatologist suggested...

I was looking at the wikipedia article for DHT, and considered this. "DHT is produced by males in vivo and is responsible for the formation of male sex-specific characteristics. DHT is an important contributor to other characteristics generally attributed to males, including facial and body...

I'm an NW2, rogaine is pushing me into NW1 territory with the pattern of vellous hair that's sprouted after two weeks, but it's anyone's guess as to how much will go terminal.

Are you using finasteride or any other DHT blockers with it? minoxidil, if it works for you, will probably be overpowered by the progression of balding if DHT continues to run wild.

It might not make it more effective, but your hair will at least grow evenly. I have an NW1 full of vellous hair after about two weeks of minoxidil, but since my 'original' bangs already reach below my eyebrows, it will take forever before that hair is "effective" - first off, going terminal...

Hey, I've been using store-bought Rogaine (5% foam from Walgreens) for about a week now. I didn't have a huge hair loss problem before, really, (NW2 with one iffy temple, didn't really notice until 26), but having a feminine hairstyle is extremely important to me for reasons I can't get into...

Okay, I did a bit more googling tonight and that definitely seems to be the case. Thanks for drawing my attention to it. Propecia doesn't really do much for temples anyhow, though, right?

I should add that the hairs growing out of my "bad" temple are still thick and as long as the rest of my bangs.. there's just.. fewer of them. They don't appear miniaturized.

Hi. I just turned 26. I'm honestly not sure I'm balding (yet), but it seems to run in the family some. My dad's side is fairly clear - the only balding I can think of is his diffuse thinning in back, which I haven't noticed yet in me. None of his male siblings have any kind of early hair...
