hi

I've been on the big 3 for 2 years. 1mg finasteride, regaine twice a day. nizoral.

Im maintaining but I have gone from an NW1 to an NW2 hairline in this time. I am 30 years old. Is it pretty much inevitable that you will receide to an NW2. maybe further. And will the recieding stop and stabalize....any one with a similar experience

I'll post pics of my 2 year journey later tonight after work

thanks

It all depends on your genes, my friend.

I started out as about an Norwood 1.5 on the front, with some thinning on the crown. I've been on finasteride for over 3 years now. My crown has almost completely filled in, but my hairline is now at least NW2, if not 2.5ish. However, I'm not too sad about it. every single male in my family (brothers, uncles) were at least NW4 at my age (27) and several of them were NW6.

Negative. There are pictures of my birth and being held by my parents right after. Not sure that photoshop was advanced enough for that back in 1984 :woot:
