Hi Guys,
I've been lurking on here for about a year now. I am 23 years old, started losing my hair around 20, didnt do anything about until i was 22, right after i graduated college. I had let it get so bad, i was probably around a norwood 2.5 with diffuse thinning on the top when i started treatment. I was shedding an insane amount of hair the year leading up to starting the big 3, and that didnt stop until about 2 months into the big 3 and i got some crazy regrowth and thickening. I straight up forgot about hairloss until about month 5. Then i started shedding like crazy for probably 2-3 months, up until month 8. Then it stopped, and i didnt shed a single hair for about 3 months. I was back on top of the world. However, starting around month 11, i started shedding again. Its now been about 2 months of crazy, non stop shedding. I really lose an insane amount of hair in the shower, i dont count but its ALOT. I have lost a ton of density, mainly around the hairline where my left and right temples have just thinned to the point where theres barely any hair anymore. II also started rolling right when i noticed the shedding starting to increase, do you think that has something to do with it? thought that after a year on the treatment, i wouldnt' be shedding anymore and my hair would look the best it would. Has anyone else gone through a crazy shed after a year on the big3 and recovered? Is this normal? Should i hop on dutasteride? I have so many thoughts going through my mind, I really don't know what to think so any advice would be greatly appreciated. I would post pictures, but I have toppik in atm and it doesnt give an accurate reflection of what my hair is really like.
Thanks in advance, you guys are the best!
