My hair is almost exactly like yours - very reassuring to see things like this. I seem to spend everyday analysing my progress and getting frustrated that nothing seems to happen (2/3 months ish on finasteride now from 22 June)! Did your hairs start off very light and fine when they came through?

Quick Update for everyone: Just completed my first week on finasteride. I have decided to go carefully on the stuff so I have started at .25mg (cut the pill into four) and this week I am now doing .33mg before working up to .50mg max. Will keep everyone posted!

Yeah be really careful with these guys because they will feed you shovel loads of B.S. about prescription procurement difficulties, admin costs etc. I managed to nail them down to paying £55.60 a month, no comittment either which was the best I could get. The stuff is really easy to apply...

So here is my three month update (bang on 3 months) Regimen; Nizoral 2% - Once, every other day Bioitin - 1 tab a day Morning - minoxidil 5% liquid Evening - minoxidil 10% cream + Azeleaic Acid. Unfortunately, whilst it began to look as though my hairline was perhaps thickening out (although no...

Many thanks to everyone for your advice. I think I may have to bite the bullet and try finasteride. As per CliffLee's advice...maybe I should just try the 0.5 dose and see how it goes. Out of interest, has anyone ever tried Minoxidil + Azelaic Acid? AA is supposed to be an inhibitor of DHT so I...

So month II into my new regimen and I woke up this morning and noticed my hairline has got worse.....is this even f*cking possible? for something like this to happen overnight? I am hoping this means that the hairs are going into the resting phase and new hair will be due to come through...

Thanks ID :) Just as an update - I have collected my prescription for finasteride today. I have decided to give this a try in an attempt to make doubly sure that I am doing utmost I can to stop anything getting worse. HOPING I won't get too much of a shed adding this to my current regime. Will keep...

Many thanks for your advice! I am considering running this treatment for a further two months (As I only started the new minoxidil & regular nizoral use on 17 March) and see how it goes.

I know exactly how you feel - I spend most of my life worrying about how my F*cking hair looks now...its really getting me down! Keeping my fingers crossed that a few months more on this regime will show some good results. - - - Updated - - - Thank you for this! I must admit, the density and...

Is this a good sign - will the hair that has shed regrow?

I have considered Finasteride for some time however I am terrified by the some of the horror stories I have heard :unsure: - Thats why I opted for the stronger Minoxidil with AA (apparently an anti DHT agent).

Im a 27 y.o. male living in the UK and have been on and off this site for some time, but never actually joined. Up until about 2/3 months ago my hairline had always stayed at a steady NW2 ish (if that). I had been using 5% topical minoxidil on prescription twice a day for about a year since I...
