Why not just get back on the finasteride? A hair system is a last resort

Shaved suits you well anyway mate! Did you also feel paranoid that everyone could tell?

Just thought I'd give a quick update on my situation, I tried a hair system for a month, it looked great at first but the problems began almost immediately. I had problems with the hairline from the beginning I tried 3 different glue and even tape but just could not get an undetectable hairline...

That looks great mate well done and thanks for taking the time to share your experience, I am hoping my system will arrive at the salon next week so I can have it fitted and I honestly can't wait! Reading this has given me more confidence about getting the system and what to expect

I met Phil Osmond the guy who runs hair4all, his system he was wearing looked perfect, he told me 2 systems per year not 1

I am due to have one of their systems very soon I'm just waiting for an email to say it's arrived so hopefully they are good as this will be my first system

Hi nemesis, I am in the same boat as you, my system should be ready at the beginning of May and I've been growing my hair since January. I look like total crap right now and like you I keep getting tempted to get the clippers out! Just gotta stick with it though, I have a night out with work...

That is very impressive mate I reckon I would need around 6000 to 8000 grafts to get a result I would be happy with and I'm not sure my donor area could support that, also in guessing I'd be looking at around £10,000

Thanks you both for the kind comments, I'm currently on finasteride and minoxidil and haven't cut my hair for 3 weeks, going to see if the meds can help to regrow some hair. I haven't looked into transplants as I know they are very expensive and don't really guarantee great results. I'm only...

Personally I think I look terrible but thanks

Thanks guys, I haven't had it any longer for about 5 years as I hate the way it looks like a dog chewed tennis ball when it starts growing!

Hi guys I'm 33 and pretty damn bald! I started the big 3 a month ago and I'm going to see how that goes for 6 months. If I don't get decent results then I'm thinking of trying a system, my hair is quite thin on the sides though so am I likely to get a good result from a topper? See pics

Cheers dude well I've just ordered 3 months worth of finasteride and minoxidil so will see how that goes, finasteride is pretty expensive in the uk and it's impossible to get proscar without a prescription

Thanks guys I'm just not sure I want to be on drugs with potential side effects for the rest of my life for a 15% improvement, how do I get these treatments in the uk?

Hi I've just joined as I'm considering going for a hair system but just wondered if the big 3 are worth trying at this stage, I started losing my hair at around 20 years old, decided to take it down to a grade 1 at 28 but I really would like hair again!
