as promised here are my *almost* 9 month pics

[giggsy]

Mate you are a champ... Well done...

I think you are a real success story.....your hair looks like Robbie Williams...

I dont think based on your pics that you will be anywhere near a NW6 before the age of 40...once again congrats

I switch brands of GSE all the time, so i don't think it makes a difference.


zeus: my symptoms of gyno are an olive size lump situated behind my right nipple (not my left)
Its only noticable in certain odd lighting, most likely because my body fat is around 15%. I'm currently trying to get down to 10%, and will re-evaluate then.

 

[vodka by the gallon]

oh yeah, garth: nah man, i can remember it exactly, i was 18 and doing some homework, and noticed like 20 hairs on the white sheet of paper. I was like wtf? Brushed my hair more to see how many would fall out, and like 90-100 came out. I thought it was odd but left it alone for a bit

That summer i lost quite a bit. My hair generally used to work like this: kinda stands up on its own to a certain length, and then i notice it falls/parts once it gets longer (shafts are only so strong right). Basically i cut it when that would happen. In the summer i had to get way more haircuts then usual (and go shorter then usual) After summer i started to notice my hair was really different looking now. I saw a buddy whom i haddened seen for a while, and he commented that the corner of my hair was getting bigger.
That year was also when i started growing chest hair...so, something was up that year.

so how old are you in these pictures when your hair looks crappy and how long have you been on treatments all togather.. and you dont use any minoxidil that sounds weird to me i thought that proscar only helped to keep what you got but i could be wrong , havent been on this site for an age or two.

 

[Diddy]

The pics are about 2 years old, when i was 19 - 19 1/2 I beleive. I'm now 21 1/2. Proscar is good for thickening up weak hairs. If DHT is not killing them, then on the next cycle the hair should grow in healthier. Most of my regrowth is basically weak dying hairs growing in better. Not completely miniturized vellus hairs regrowing.

Studies show proscar does regrow significant amounts of hair, yet in only something like ~30% of people. the other ~50% or so experience mild regrowth / maintenance. (these numbers are from memory, the studies are on this site if you want the exact numbers)

Looks good. If you can maintain that much hair the rest of your life you should be thankful and happy. Im 33 and have always had crappy fine dry hair. Im not bald yet but have notived since my mid twenties that my hair has gotten a little dryer,frizzier, finer (maybe) Not many men even ones who have a full head of hair their whole lives have the same hairline and texture/thickness like they did in their late teens. (puberty takes care of that)

BUmp

 

[jblig]

I forgot about his great regrowth without minoxidil, makes me want to stick out the propecia for a year and see what happens......he had great results......

 

[BadHairDecade]

That's why I gave it a bump.

 

[Wezz]

awesome results, what product have you had best resutls with ? list the names pls

 

[bombscience]

you are dominating. i hope one day too i can have those results.

 

[Guest]

What the hell are you going to do about the gyno? And is there any way to avoid gyno, eg. diet and excercise?

 

[Guest]

DIDDY!? Update?

 

[Fran]

I´m now in the same situation as you were two years ago, the pic of your hairline reminds me mine a lot!hope I will regrowth the hair I had as you have done.Congratulations, and keep us informated please.

 

[Deaner]

Wow this gives me hope I'd say my hair is currently about as thick as your "styled 1.5 months ago" pic atm, one week into treatment of just finasteride and nizoral. I'm hoping that by month 9, much like you, I'll have seen considerable regrowth and a fair gain in thickness! Good job, and keep it up!

 

[Green Soap]

Man, I love this forums. You guys are the best. I've finally decided on my regimen.

I've already been doing minoxidil and nizoral for three weeks and my fears about cutting finasteride have been allayed.

So, starting next week it will be

finasteride
minoxidil
MSM
GSE
Nizoral
Folligen.


Wow. That's a lot.

Plus, the reason I'm totally amped is, Diddy, even though I'm 30, my hair looks like yours (actually, when long it's wavy, spirally) in terms of where it's thinning and how much from your bad pics.

I have reason to believe I'm going to be a good responder to this stuff. The cool part is, apparently all of the above is going to be dirt cheap.

minoxidil - $10 a month
finasteride - $7 a month
MSM/GSE ? $15 ? I'm going to the store right now.
Nizoral $5 a month (lasts a long time)
Folligen - $20 a month.

Added up, that's $57 a month. For all of it.

Considering you can't even get just Propecia alone for that much......

I love you guys. Thanks for the arsenal.

Deaner:

Guy, if your hair is about as thick as his styled 1.5 months ago then how could you possibly see any regrowth or added thickness. His hair at 1.5 months looked incredibly thick. If your hair is like Diddy's 1.5 month photo what makes you think your even experiencing hairloss.

 

[Deaner]

I'm a NW2, let's not forget this. The diffuse bit me later in the game. Plus my crown is SLIGHTLY thinning out. The diffuse ontop isn't so bad, my hair still looks pretty awesome, I'm not gonna lie. I'm glad I caught it this early.

 

[guy83]

I feel like taking GSE and the MSM and dropping minoxidil because ive been on it for over 4 months now and nothing much. Im using Nizoral and propecia though
