Hello, I am 24 and have signifcant hair loss. I am realistic that I wont have my hair much longer, but I would like to have my hair for a few more years. Unfortunately, I am apparently one of the few men who inherit hair loss from their Grandfather as no one else in the family had it and whats worse is when he was my age he lost all his hair in a matter of 12 months. I talked to a doctor and she said it was definitely male pattern baldness and I was just unfortunate to get the worst genes in the family.
It all happened 1 year ago after I shaved my head and my hair didn't really grow back to well up top. I used Minoxidil for 3 months and had 0 results so stopped (minor shed after I stopped). It then stayed thin but manageable for the remainder of the year until this November and December were I lost so much hair. Now I am almost bald on the crown of my head (I still have a few patches) and heavy losses up front.
I am realistic that I won't have my hair much longer, but if I could keep my hair for another 2 or 3 years that would be awesome. Besides the teasing from my friends is unbearable. I currently can not take any prescription drug to treat the hair loss (Thats just how it is), and I will not get a hair transplant. However if there is anything that I can do to stop the hair loss I would do it.
Currently I am using:
HairOmega DHT blocker (Saw Palmetto)
Viviscal for Men
Nioxin 2 Scalp Treatment
Nioxin 2 Shampoo
Nizoral 2% which I use every other day between this and the nizoral.
Rogaine 2% liquid and Rogaine 2% foam as of January 11th.
If there is anything else I could take I would love to try it. I feel that the combination of (HairOmega, Viviscal, and Nioxin have definitely slowed the hair loss. I am desperate for progress. I've heard about a S5 cream? Is that worth anything?
Also I am not sure about the Rogaine, it says it works on the Vertex of the Head? Has any other man out there had success using Rogaine for losses on the crown of their head? Is it worth the money.
Again I am desperate so any advice would be appreciated.
