    Rajiv's Story - 8.5 Month update with Pics

    Hello Everyone,

    I am 26 years old from Mumbai, India. I have been experiencing hair loss since the last 4-5 years. MPB runs in my family both in my fathers & mothers side, I cant think of an uncle or cousin who have a head full of hair. I deliberated treatment because honestly I didn't feel that theres anything, anyone could do about it. However I started searching the web and forums such as this to see if theres still hope for me. A member in another hairloss forum suggested me to get on the Big 3 for atleast a year. So I started my regimen with Finasteride 1mg, Minoxidil 5% & Nizoral 1%.

    I started my treatment on the 15th of October 2011 and so far have responded well to it. The first two months I stuck to Minoxidil 5% while in month 3 I started using Minoxidil 10% in the night and Minoxidil 5% in the morning. I also had a bottle of Vichy dercos lying around which is basically Aminexil that Im using every alternate day.

    In the last 3 months I have experienced a decrease in hairloss and some regrowth. Though its still very early I can feel an increase in density of hair on the scalp, they are still very thin and unhealthy, I hope Minoxidil can help thicken it. So heres my journey so far...

    My thoughts exactly. When I saw the first pic I thought it was too late for any treatments. Great progress.

    Hello Folks,

    Sorry for the late reply, was too preoccupied with academics, full time MBA is a b**ch, anyways with regards to my hair, well the improvement rate has siginificantly slowed down in the last 3 months. The density is still improving however at a much slower rate. I underwent a really bad shed period over 2 months(March & April) but it has come down significantly this month. I am currently on Minox 10% twice a day, Nizoral 2% thrice a week and Finasteride 1mg everyday. Kindly leave your comments and suggestions.

    Thanks & Regards,
    Rajiv Nair
