    Haven't been able to use rogaine for a few weeks - is this a big deal?

    Ok, completely opposite answers lol. Well I've got the delivery into today and have just applied it so no worries. If there was any loss, it was relatively minor.

    Haven't been able to use rogaine for a few weeks - is this a big deal?

    Just curious as I'm still new to using it. I've put an order in now and it should be delivered soon, but I haven't been able to use it for 3-4 weeks. I was wondering if this is a big problem? I know Propecia takes a good few months before the effects wear off, I was wondering if Rogaine was...

    Rogaine questions from a long time Propecia user

    Hi all. I've been on Propecia for coming on to three years this December, and am considering starting Rogaine. I was wondering what I can expect. When hair shedding might happen, and how drastic that hair shedding will be? When I can expect to see results, and what kind of results? Can you get a...

    25 years old - receding hairline?

    You're at an early stage of hair loss still, so finasteride, and minoxidil if you want to do that too, would be a good option for you. If you're interested in it definitely speak to a doctor and do some research. Your hair isn't too bad at the moment, but as you can see it isn't the thickest...

    How bad?

    Looks like you are losing it, your hair reminds me of mine around the time I got on Propecia, I was also your age. I'd recommend looking into doing the same, generally it has a very high success rate, although a very small percentage of people have experienced side effects, so if that happens to...

    3 months on propecia

    Propecia takes time dude. I've been on it for two years now and I remember the first few months it didn't look too great. Give it at least six months then speak to a doctor if you think it isn't working.

    23 years of age having hairloss

    Looks like you are losing hair at the crown. Your hairline still looks great so I don't think you are going to lose your hair rapidly, plus it isn't hugely obvious or bad looking. If you want to get treatment I'd recommend speaking to your doctor about finasteride (propecia is the main brand...

    Dinosaur_Sr's Story (22, NW2-2.5, Thinning)

    Thank you for the positive responses people - best of luck! : ) Right, here are some pictures, taken this evening. It's not perfect but I'm happy with it! Might add Rogaine if I think it's worth it/can afford it in future. My hair doesn't look great longer as it doesn't have the...

    Dinosaur_Sr's Story (22, NW2-2.5, Thinning)

    Quick update! Things are still going well here. My hair might be in a slightly better place than it was actually - hard to say. I'll post some pictures soon. I'd also like to try and find some pictures to post from before I started propecia that give a better idea of where my hair was headed...

    22...in need of advice!

    Well, I started at 21 and have had no problems with Propecia, and clinical studies show that almost all men don't. Dunno what people are saying about your penis shrinking but that is rubbish! Funny though. I don't think you're losing any hair at the back but you might be starting to lose it at...

    Baffled by my hair loss... 21 y/o with diffused hair loss

    Well, male pattern baldness isn't really affected too much by your diet or lifestyle, it's a genetic thing. If you're losing the hair right above your ears then that isn't standard balding, although if you're losing it on the back it could be crown loss. Have you spoken to a doctor? That'd be...

    No hope for diffuse thinners?

    I was thinning overall and finasteride has stabilized my loss, regrown a bit too - been on it for over a year now. I read a lot beforehand and don't remember too much about diffuse thinning being impossible to treat. Check success stories for examples, it works for many!

    I'm 25. Confused as to what # I am on the Norwood Scale.

    Looks like you need finasteride (propecia, proscar, finpecia etc). Hair grows in cycles, Rogaine will grow hair in inactive hair follicles, meaning more hair, but it won't stop the hair loss process. finasteride will actually halt your hair loss by working against the DHT hormones in your body. Check...

    Dinosaur_Sr's Story (22, NW2-2.5, Thinning)

    Hi everybody, thought I'd post an update as it's apparently been a year now! Time flies. The Propecia is still working it's magic, my hair has stabilized and the temples have grown in a little as I've mentioned. The first few months my hair was pretty thin, possibly due to shedding, but...

    Receding Hair at 26 - will I go bald?

    Meds won't hurt your kidneys, you could go to the doctor's and ask about Propecia.
