    1 year 6 months

    Well, like I said, I have lost hair and continue to do so, on 1.25 g of finasteride a day. Granted, I haven't lost any hair where the drug is advertised to work, on the back. It is my firm belief that balding works somewhat differently in the front than the back, and finasteride just sadly doesn't do...

    1 year 6 months

    Thought I'd come back to post an update. 24 years old... first noticed temple loss beginning about 2 years ago. Have been hitting my head with the big 3 religiously for 1 year 6 months. The only skimping has been a once daily application of minoxidil instead of twice, since I don't want that crap...

    Finasteride and receeding hairline?

    I have been taking 1.25g of finasteride a day for over that year. In that time my temple loss has been dramatic. I seriously doubt the finasteride did anything at all for my temples.

    Norwood 2, heading to norwood 3, my story.

    I'm pretty sure tanning played a big part in deteriorating the condition of my skin. Of course, I'm sure some of it is natural aging. I don't think moisturizing does a whole lot for your skin, other than keeping it from getting dry and peely. I'm not well read on the subject though.

    Norwood 2, heading to norwood 3, my story.

    I just wanted to post and give info to people in my situation, which might be similar to yours. Around 12 months ago, having just turned 23, I had the half full/half empty moment. I was a pretty boy/prep with a full head of thick gelled up hair. Spiked it up complete with the abercrombie and...

    Temples... no man's land?

    So I haven't posted or been to this sight much in the last 5 months. I'm on about month 8 of the big three. I'd just like to make a thread asking if anyone has actually had 'real' results on their temples. My problem started with the temples, so I immediately jumped on all 3 to catch it...

    My situation: right temple, nickle sized bald spot, but right hairline in tact. left side: cluster f***. the left side of my hairline is thinning, diffuse and you can see through it and garner what its trying to become. A razor edge straight line of strong hair going from the left side of...

    Those of you with RAPID loss please help.

    Well I started noticing loss around november last year. Just some temple receding. I jumped on minoxidil, then nizoral.. by the end of december 2004 I had got my finasteride as well. Been on all 3 ever since. Hair still falling out, hairline becoming more jagged and wispy, and as of about a week ago, for the...

    Hairline Going Fast: Need Advice

    I just got done examining my hair. I just started to notice it about 6-7 months ago, but i'm having very similar hair loss as you. (23) my hair used to be really thick. It's thinning drastically now, my hairline is being crushed into a V, temples going. It's terrible... short time span...

    Mixed Results on Big 3...

    To throw in my support, minoxidil does the same thing to my hairline. It makes all these very promising hairs grow to about a cm, then they just fall out. It's god damn annoying and they've been growing that length and falling out for like 3 months now without any of them going terminal.

    10 Month update. Hello minoxidil shed!

    Temples are the hardest to regrow. Even the mighty minoxidil falters against my temples, which continue to recede. Not only that but minoxidil is psychological warfare, that greasy sh*t (well I use kirkland) clumps your hair and makes it look much worse than the situation really is. I always feel...

    Wow This Minoxidil Stuff Works

    Well I'm 23 years old and using on hairline edges/temples. And while I can see it trying hard... the hair that it stimulates to grow just can't seem to grow fully terminal. It has induced all kinds of growth, but the damn hairs just grow a centimeter or two and fall out. these temples are...
