    Question to people that have thinning hair on the back/side of your head

    I don't have a camera, I also have an old phone (so no camera there) My maternal grandfather had male pattern baldness, not sure about DUPA. He had already lost all of his hair by my age though (23). I still have most of my hair - I'm approx nw2.5 No female relatives have any hair loss. Father's side of the...

    Question to people that have thinning hair on the back/side of your head

    Has anything helped to increase thickness in these areas? I have thinning in these areas as well as typical male pattern baldness, and I don't think finasteride is doing anything for these areas.

    finasteride since 03/13/13 - great success

    Did your dye your hair? cause it looks a lot darker. Could be due to lighting or thickening from finasteride as well.

    Your hair is definitely thicker. Are you planning on buzzing your hair again to give a complete comparison though?

    SQUEEGEE SHOULD BE ABLE TO COME BACK

    Like him or not, but he was definitely the driving force of the dermarolling thread. I agree that banning him was probably justified, but I think he should be allowed back at some point.

    Should I start taking Propecia? (pics)

    The amount of times I've heard people on finasteride say they wish they started sooner. There's really nothing to be gained by waiting if you already know you're going to be taking it at some point (it sounds like you've made you're mind up)

    Is anyone planning on stopping dermarolling after their 12 weeks is up? Thats what people did in the study, correct?

    Minoxidil with Tea Tree oil and Diclofenac - 2013 study on PubMed.

    This may have been posted before, and I've just realised I've posted it in the wrong section. Anyone think this would be a good adjunct to dermarolling? Preparation and evaluation of a multimodal minoxidil microemulsion versus minoxidil alone in the treatment of androgenic alopecia of mixed...

    Hair loss on right side of head due to sleeping position

    So I've definitely got standard male pattern baldness (NW2.5, minor crown thinning). However, the hair on the right side of my head is pretty thin, and it seems to match the exact position where my head lies on my pillow. I sleep with my arm under my pillow, so this creates a lot of pressure on my head. Is it...

    squeegee, I've followed some of your posts and you said that you had a pretty big shed from rolling. Would you say that you're back to baseline yet?

    So I've just taken my first Niacin tablet, and I'm getting the flush. Today's my rolling day as well. How long should I wait now before rolling? I can just imagine my scalp being really irritated/burning if I rolled any time soon. Anyone have experience with Niacin and rolling?

    Anyone here have any experience with Gingko Biloba? I've read that it causes vasodilation, and just curious if it would be a good adjunct to rolling.

    Anyone here with longer hair using a roller with needles longer than 1.5mm? I find it quite hard to penetrate through to my scalp where my hair is the thickest.

    My head really itches for about an hour after rolling, almost feels like its on fire. No trace of it the day after though.
