No, the first photo was taken in a bathroom at an apartment at which I no longer live. So replicating the lighting wasn't really going to happen. Still, the results show for what they are.
Combination of new growth and almost no shedding, plus my hair was just behaving much more manageably. But then it sort of gradually unraveled its progress. The point of that is that this is really a marathon, not a sprint. So stick to the course! I don't think you'll regret, either because 1...
It was kind of weird for me. I'd say I first noticed some pretty surprisingly good results in the first couple of months. Then it started to drop off again and didn't really get back to those good results again until like a year after that. Over the last two years, it's been pretty consistent.
Thanks? lol I don't know.
I noticed some sexual dysfunction the first probably 3 weeks or so on the drug, but after that not really, no. No depression or anything like that. I think the sexual side effects scare is blown out of proportion (personal opinion). I wouldn't let it stop you from...
Just finasteride and I use Nioxin shampoo. I used to use Regenepure and really liked it but it's a little expensive for just 8 oz. Tried topicals for a hot minute before deciding that wasn't really for me. Didn't really give it a chance though.
Thanks! I'm happy to see it back. I often wonder what...
I was 21 when I started. Started noticing the loss between 19 and 21. Looked at my dad's head and his dad's head and thought, "I know where this is going. I don't so much mind going bald as long as I know I did whatever I could to prevent it." I still hold that view and realize finasteride may not work...
Just now noticing some of these comments, and I didn't want them to go unappreciated. My apologies for not getting to them sooner.
Thank you! Yes, I try to take photos when my hair is shorter so that folks on here get the real idea. It doesn't do anyone any good to try to cover up. Appreciate...
I've got my progressive attached below. The front facing shots are from March-April 2016 and the bad looking crown is from May 2016. I started on finasteride in May 2016, the day the crown photo was taken.
The other shot of my crown and the sideview shot of my face are from today, January 26, 2019.

Congrats on the gains! Keep it up. I agree, rogaine or any topicals besides shampoo just seem like too much effort to me. I tried using it for a couple weeks and stopped; just let finasteride take control.
I do think my crown and top of my head are back to virtually complete thickness. My hairline has...
I'm guessing around now. Over 2.5 years it's gone through great increases and some pretty severe sheds, but it's definitely started to level off in the last 6 months.
I was 19 when I started noticing my hair getting kind of thin. By 21, I had a bit of a bald spot situation on the crown. Hopped on finasteride. It's 2.5 years later, I'm 24, and here are the results of finasteride.
The before picture had really long hair. The second picture taken today is a few days after a...
