    Dreadlocks Killed My Scalp. My Hairline Is An Ugly Patchy Mess.

    I think it might be easier to see results in these photos. First pic from may, 2nd pic from today. In the 2nd pic there's layer of vellus hair that goes like a half inch below the hairline in the front that isn't there in the first pic.

    Dreadlocks Killed My Scalp. My Hairline Is An Ugly Patchy Mess.

    A buzz might be a good idea, although that would eliminate the usefulness of all my before pics. My donor area has large sections of hair that only grow max two inches so i think i'm not a good transplant candidate. I am still seeing regrowth albeit only in the hairline so i'll still continue...

    Dreadlocks Killed My Scalp. My Hairline Is An Ugly Patchy Mess.

    6 month update. Still seeing progress, although the progress is slow. So slow in fact that i'm looking at the photos and can't see a difference at all. However, there is definitely new vellus hair popping up that wasn't there before the new regimen. The huge bald spot in the front has filled...

    Losing Ground Fast After Years Of Success - Dutas Time? Insight Appreciated

    it honestly doesn't look so bad. i'm currently getting tons of regrowth right now but my starting point was much worse. it will be a while before i even get to your level. my advice, don't stress about stuff so much and take it in stride. stay positive and emotionally healthy to avoid excessive...

    ha! honestly don't regret it tho, that was a fun season in my life. either way i would have gotten male pattern baldness eventually.

    Dreadlocks Killed My Scalp. My Hairline Is An Ugly Patchy Mess.

    1 month update. Still on a topical only regimen. Seeing new growth already! You can't see it in the pics but there are some tiny, tiny new hairs popping up in the center and right temple. They are so small you can only see them at the right angle with the right light. And i do believe the baby...

    Tried Propecia, Rogaine Foam, Tricomin, Prox, Nizoral, Topical Spironolactone

    Thanks for the reply. I guess i need to suck it up and get some finasteride. I've been on a similar regimen to yours now minus the revivogen for like 10 days or so, actually starting to see some new baby hairs popping up already. But i'm turning 37 and i'd like to jump start the growth and grow...

    Dreadlocks Killed My Scalp. My Hairline Is An Ugly Patchy Mess.

    Yesterday i received a shipment of tricomin spray. I got a shipment of nizoral 1% shampoo today. Can't seem to find 2% that i can buy without rx anywhere. I've also got s5 cream in transit. Thinking of ordering revivogen as well. Gonna go on a topical only regimen for a while inspired by this...

    Dreadlocks Killed My Scalp. My Hairline Is An Ugly Patchy Mess.

    Lol you guys are tldring my post and only reading the title. Here's the short version: Yes i'm getting old. Yes i have male pattern baldness. However, yes it's also true that the dreads accelerated the rate of balding and made the hair line much more irregular than it would have been by causing...

    Dreadlocks Killed My Scalp. My Hairline Is An Ugly Patchy Mess.

    I do but i'm positive the dreads accelerated the process. Caused lots of dandruff and pore clogging, and especially the pulling on the bangs. I've never seen it where only a few strands in the front survive but the whole rest of the hairline recedes. Edit: here's a clearer pic taken in a mirror...

    Dreadlocks Killed My Scalp. My Hairline Is An Ugly Patchy Mess.

    Hi all. Found this forum in a moment of desperation today and decided to share my story. I've been on a losing battle against hair loss for about six years. In hindsight, i probably started losing at the corner of my temples around 18. but i was completely oblivious, and to be honest i can't...
