Hey guys,
I’m very much a newbie here, and really just looking for some help advice and support
Just to set the scene, basically when I was about 18 (I’m 20 now) I started feeling this strange itch on the top and crown of my head, scratched away and low and behold was pretty freaked to remove a dead follicle from my scalp. This has been going on, admittedly in phases, pretty much ever since. At first I denied my hair was going, but I’ve realised that I’ve really gotta do something about it now before it’s too late.
I’m at a point right now where maintenance, with minor regrowth, would have a huge impact on my life. My hair has thinned but not to the point where it is hugely noticeable except by me or anyone that sees me straight out of the shower! My hairline, except on the temples, is pretty much where it’s always been, but on top my hair is a lot thinner.
I’ve been researching tentatively for about a few months now and lurking on here for the last few weeks, in the past I’ve only found all these bullish websites promising miracle cures but it’s only here I’ve found what I hope will offer a genuine bit of hope.
Basically, I’ve pretty much decided I’ll go with a Propecia and Nizoral regimen, but I was just wondering if anyone would take the time to have a look at some pics I’ve taken and offer any advice. I’m pretty freaked about the idea of shedding but I’ve heard a lot of conflicting stories regarding Propecia and shedding, so I’m a little unsure what to expect.
Also, I’ve heard a lot of people supplementing their regimens with particular additions to their diet, such as vitamins or herbal supplements (such as green tea) I wasn’t sure whether it would be wise to include any of these seeing as I’m just starting out?
My main goal is to keep the hair I have, any regrowth will be a huge bonus, I’m willing to give it the time and patience it’ll take to make it work, I just hope to god it does!
If anyone has a similar problem but is a little bit further in their treatment and wouldn’t mind guiding me through the early stages I’d be very appreciative.
Thanks for your time
p.s. will stick some pics up as soon as i can find somewhere to host them
