My Story and your opinion

[jkriley]

I first started noticing I was losing my hair when I was 25, I started on finasteride and minoxidil right away but had a lot of scalp issue with Monix so I stopped at 6 months. At 27 my hair had thinned and diffused a lot so I decided to try Dutasteride, the results where great and I got a lot of my hair back over the next year and a half. I am now 32 and over the last 8 months my hair as really started to thin and diffuse again. So my question is what to do after Dutasteride? I have had a hair transplant on my hair line which I was very happy with but I have noticed that it is starting to go down hill again.

I am not bald and still have lots of hair but I see it heading down hill again so I am trying to be proactive, my hair is very thick per strand. My thinning pattern is odd it is in the shape of an S that starts at the back of my head and goes to the front. At first I thought it was just a part but it is getting bigger and bigger and the front is really thinning.

Any opinions or help would great

it's really hard to see the thinning from those pics

but it sounds like you are doing everything you can to prevent your "balding" predicament

so keep it up

and enjoy your hair in the meantime

I think you've lost all perspective Jk, your hair looks thick and healthy.

No medication can get your hair better than that .

I don’t really think I have lost my perspective, as I said I am not bald but I am starting to thin more and I am trying to stay ahead of the game. I am at the 5 year mark on Dust and was wondering if it was time to look at other options. My hair is much thinner now then it was a year ago at this time.

You can see my before and after transplant pic's here

My transplant was done by Dr Cotterill in Toronto. He did an amazing job and I am really happy with his work.

you got a great hair transplant imo

 

[fromchicago]

you didn't even need a hair transplant, imo

 

[jkriley]

Well saying I did not need a hair transplant at all is debatable, It is no different then someone getting a nose job. I did it to make myself feel better and so far it is the best money I have spent on myself :woot:

I would do it again in a heart beat

you are wayy too worried... you have a full head of hair and on top of it you got a hair transplant.. nothing wrong with the hair transplant, but go out and enjoy life. otherwise you might lose more hair worrying about a problem you don't have..

 

[jkriley]

lol ok thanks.

As I said I am really not that worried I am just thinking about what to do next.

I am 100% less paranoid then I used to be, scary as that sounds.

But thanks for the responses.

So you are 32 years old, had a dense packed hair transplant into an already NW1 hairline, are still worried about thinning when you obviously have none - yep, definitely not paranoid.

I have never seen an S-shaped balding pattern...are you sure you have male pattern baldness??

 

[jkriley]

I am always impressed by people who are able to tell me I am not thinning by looking at a photograph.

I also like it when people play down how I feel about my hair, please feel free not to respond to my posts if you feel I am wasting your time.
I did not say i was not paranoid i said i was 100% less then i was. If i was not paranoid i would not be on here nor would you.

I am diffuse thinner who had very good results on dust, my question was simply what did others do when they found it had stopped working for them.

lol ok thanks.

Hi AssignmentZero,

I asked the same question when I first noticed it. I have very think hair strands I think it is a combination of a part and thinning around the part. I have been taking pics for the last 12 + months and I can see a difference in the thinning. I am really just trying to decide if I want to stay on dust or try something else. I am sure I worry more then I need to but judging by the number of members on this forum I am not alone.

Do you have pics from x months ago? Can we see a comparison between the pics you posted a few days ago and the pics from the past?
