My story... Need some advice

[Stinger122]

Hello everybody, I have surfed this site but I have not decided to post my story till today, here is my story:

I was 16 years old and I decided to grow my hair out, basically when my hair got long (Upto my chin) My parents decided to tell me long hair would make you go bald, so from then on I got paranoid, really I was not losing hair it was all in my mind... In the shower only two hairs would fall out but I would get paranoid over just 2 hairs and think I was going bald!!

I kept stressing over the 2 hairs that would come out in the shower each time(This was not even hair loss, but I thought I was going bald)

Anyway, as time went on I noticed my hair was thinning all over, (Especially at the back of my head) I went to the doctor who gave me a blood test and he said everything was fine... So that was useless...

2 years later im 18 now and my hair has gotten quite thin at the top (only noticeable in sunlight but deffinetly less than before) I dont know what to think of my hair loss apart from it started all because of me being paranoid, I believe I was not suffering from hair loss but my body started to believe it was... Any ideas guys?

I notice when a hair falls out it has this weird thing attached to the root?

Im currently using revivogen(3 weeks), folligen(coming soon), Biotin 1mg, Saw palmetto 320mg, Horsetail 440mg and MSM 3000mg.

Thanks for taking the time to read this post guys, if you have any questions just ask.

What do you guys think I should do? Do you guys think im suffering from DHT hair loss?

Post was to long and gave me tired head so I quit reading. Please shorten up.

Yeah too long! Keep things short & sweet!

Im trying revivogen at the moment and I just ordered the folligen spray (Incase it might be to do with my scalp health).

In my opinion, your wasting your money on revivogen & folligen isn't that good either.

What you need is:

a)Propecia
b)Minoxidil 5%
c)spironolactone 2%
d)Nizoral 2% shampoo.

Anything else & your wasting your money in my opinion (apart from certain experimental treatments).

Using Biotin, MSM etc. may help cosmetically too.

ps. hows Brum?

Sorry guys its just I dont know, I felt I had to give the full story.. But I will post another thread that shows my story in a smaller version..

Im trying revivo and folligen because im too scared of using propecia at the moment and even if I did use propecia I would get fincar (Cause im a cheap *** student!!)

I do use biotin 1mg, 3000mg of MSM, Horsetail 440mg, Saw palmetto 360mg and B-50 time release vitamins.

Brum is alright, bit cold at the moment..! But the bullring (new shopping centre) is looking good, although its full of people and it can be annoying!

What part of England are you from mate?

Take care

What part of England are you from mate?

North East, i have mate near Brum, he went to the Uni.

Now, a few points:

I did use propecia I would get fincar (Cause im a cheap *** student!!)

I've used that, it's fine. I got mine here:

Secondly, i really recommend you try minoxidil 5% if you think you have male pattern baldness. This is where i get mine:

Cheap as chips :rockon:

minoxidil is gonna do more for your hair than revivigen & folligen put together, and at a fraction of the price. spironolactone 2% is an option too. And get some Nizoral Shampoo, you can get it at boots or here:

Good luck

Shortened my story

Thanks, I do use Nizoral 2%... I shortend my story and I hope its more readable, its the best I could shorten it to as I do need to give the story out so you can understand

Thanks for the websites, I will deffinetly probably order some stuff tommorow if somebody could answer my questions in my story...

thanks mate!

Be more specific about the "Weird thing at the end of the root".

Black or white buld? Comepletely normal if it was.

 

[giggsy]

You are 18 so get on propecia, minoxidil and nizoral 2%.

The big three should help you. The longer you can maintain what you have, the better....hopefully hair cloning will be available within 10 years. If you can work out a good regimen to sustain your hair for that long (bearing in mind that it is highly probable that within those 10 years, better products than Propecia and minoxidil may become available) then you will be looking sweet.

Good Luck

 

[Cassin]

If your 18 and are considering taking Propecia, make sure you are having your hormones monitored by a Doctor while taking it.

 

[giggsy]

Good point Cassin..very important

 

[Rudiratlos]

Just go on finasteride and nizoral shampoo..
u dont really need minoxidil.. (it only gives u sheds) ..although it gives u
better results at the start.. ther is no difference at 12 months..

and if u quite minoxidil u Will shed..

lower BMI and eat healthy anti- oxidant rich food,

 

[Stinger122]

Sorry yes at the end of the root there is a white buld... I never noticed it before my hairloss so I guess I dont really know if it was there or not at the start.

Thanks for your help guys, im quite scared of trying Propecia but I guess I might give Fincar a chance... I just hear all these bad reports and it puts me off big time, oh well.. Just hope this all goes away someday and we dont have to have this on our minds at all times.
