Advice on how to treat my hair

[StallionX]

I have long hair, shoulder length.

What I notice is thinner hair on the top of my scalp, on my frontal hairline. In the last 8 years or so it is really not that much worse, however I have been on propecia and dutas since I was 24 or so.. (dutas for at least 3-4 years now) I feel that even with dutas I am still experiencing thinning in the front, I cannot be 100% sure but I think so.

Now I still have a full head of hair, but the hairline is not as "strong" as the side in the front.

Besides Using .5 Dutas daily and nizoral 3x a week what else can I do when I dont have a bald spot per se?

Should I use Rogaine foam? and just smush it all over my crown even though it's full of hair? or what?

Thanks.

you're not using finasteride and dutasteride at the same time are you???

Yes, if you're thinning out still on dutasteride than start using Rogaine Foam and/or Spectral DNC. You will have to continue using it twice per day though otherwise your thickened hairs will eventually thin out again.

If you're spotty you could probably use some Retin-A and/or homemade spironolactone cream on those spots as well.

Check out the new Revita shampoo over at divineskin.com too. It's a replacement to nizoral but it's a bit more expensive as it has many other hair regrowth ingredients to it.

Have you considered cutting your hair short and pushing it forward? You might be able to hide it at least with that new style.

I really do doubt that you are experiencing thinning in the front. You can't go back in time now, but you really should be taking pics every couple months or so so you have something to compare your current situation to, because your eyes can deceive you.

Dutasteride is hella powerful and if you're taking 0.5 mg of it a day like I am and still thinning at a moderate or fast rate, well that's just really hard to believe.

FairTax did say that you could add Rogaine Foam, but to be honest, if your dutasteride is not holding your hair for you(which you aren't even sure about), then Rogaine is only going to buy you a year or two at most.

Like you said though, you aren't even sure if your hair is progressing, and without pictures, and not being sure, I would be cautious about assuming.

ALSO, I hate to mention this, but if you are buying your dutasteride online, then it could be fake. And this would explain why you are continuing to notice thinning while on such a powerful drug. I don't like to mention this but we don't see many stories of people on here continuing to thin while on daily dutasteride, so I thought I would.

Buying time is part of the battle. HM or OSH101 may be out by this time.

Well yeah but say he gets 1000 hairs from Rogaine. I just pulled that 1000 number out of my ***. He'd then have to keep using his Rogaine after HM to keep those hairs, or once they fell out from discontinuing Rogaine, he'd have to go back for a second HM session, correct?

Just talking hypotheticals here of course.

Sounds right since you'd only HM where you don't have any terminals, so there wouldn't be HM on the minoxidil induced hairs.

But OSH101 that chrome was posting about in HLH sounds like it's a few years away too and it's not going to be a twice a day topical!!

I use Dutas from unitedPharmacy.com Dr. Reddy's drug I believe, I was told that it was a legit drug and my father worked with one of the executives at Dr. REddy's at GSK for awhile, I believe Reddy's is legit correct?

If not is there another Dutestaride generic you guys can recommend as being legit?

It's true I am NOT sure if it has gotten worse, it's really insane becauase if it has gotten worse it's minimal from 5 years ago, if anything.. it also could be traction alopecia from having long hair most of my 20's..

Yes that is legit so you don't have to worry about that. Honestly the only thing you should do know is start getting diligent about taking pics from all angles and lighting situations every couple months so that you can really track your progress. Your eyes can be very deceiving as I said.

I chose not to order dutastride from unitedpharmacies.com. I posted a thread here and linked information were that company sent out fake dutastride.

Unfortunatly, that wasn't a maybe but a for sure thing. Pictures of the drugs were posted, and it was indeed verified that unitedpharmacies.com sent out fake dutastride that came out of Hong Kong.

That link says nothing about fake dutasteride from what I see? It only mentions fake proscar?

And there are plenty of people on here who have had success with finasteride and dutasteride from UP, hawaii male and beaner being two.

Oops, it was finastride. However, its still scarey to know that UP has sent out fakes before, no matter what the drug. Heck, maybe UP is legit but in transit some dude in Hong Kong swaps out the meds that are supposed to be sent out with a fake box.
