Fair enough I think we are on the same wavelength, good luck to you. As for me, im avoiding minoxidil only because Im happy with the hair I have now and taking a pill is so much easier than applying minoxidil, however applying minoxidil is no chore, if ever I feel I want regrowth or extra help...

I believe you can actually change your GP within a surgery, a friend of mine has done this (well I assume she has as there is a GP there she refuses to see) I had a quick look online and all it says is about changing actual GP surgeries (as in when you move home or location) but perhaps you can...

What have I said that is nonsense Warlord? If you read (and comprehend) what I said, you would realise at no point have you actually stated why you disagree with me, and your 16 years plus experience with minoxidil doesn't either I do think it is possible for someone like yourself to have visibly...

I dont think they are Minoxidil haters at all, in fact I think Decade Two is actually on it himself. I never took finasteride either going straight for dutasteride instead as I was happy with the hair I had at the time, if id had felt I needed regrowth at the crown or temples Id have happily got on minoxidil as well.

Warlord - Perhaps you should read the full studies you are so keen to link the graphs from. The studies show that after the initial growth period balding at the prior rate continues. In of them one of the researchers even says something along the lines of how (after the initial growth period)...

My source is the Olsen 1990 study, which shows that after a few month hair loss continued at the same rate as the placebo group. - Basically regrowth took place and after this hair loss continued, the difference between the minoxidil group and the placebo group remained the same. (because they were...

I think Minoxidil does give hair that 'bit of extra life' as stated above and obviously regrow lost hairs. However I think studies showed that after the regrowth period balding continues at the prior rate. So I think if we were to look at a before and after photo even in some cases up to 10...

Just on Minoxidil - I think a good analogy for it as far as hair loss is concerned is that it may rewind time a bit for you but wont slow it down. Basically that you may see regrowth but it will do nothing to stop the balding process so after the regrowth you will continue balding. Whether...

No pictures unfortunately. I'm 23 now and first looked in the mirror and thought '**** am i receding' when I was 17, however if this was the case between 17 and 22 (I started dutasteride at 22) it was verrrrry slow and barely changed at all! - though I still think it was receding hence the dutasteride and nizoral...

Yeah i'd say that was male pattern baldness and the best thing you could do right now would be to do your research on finasteride, nizoral and Minoxidil. I dont think your families comments are that uncommon a lot of (lets say) 'layman' just dont seem to notice receding hairlines very well. Take my girlfriend for example...

Nizoral could well get rid of that itch for you, give that a go along with the finasteride, my hair and loss is almost identical to yours and that photo taken from above could even be me but for the fact that my crown would be a paler!

Get mine from DRM too and they are a UK registered Pharmacy operating out of Jersey.

Its not the hairloss that is doing all this though - its your reaction to it. If you had MS, cancer or MND I would indeed agree that the situation was grave, and while im not saying hairloss (especially at a young age) is easy, you will eventually realise it isn't the end of the world, and you...

I agree with the OP, but people need to remember we are talking abut ugly guys getting with insanely hot girls here - it is that which is very hard if it impossible to come by. Just as it is an ugly girl getting with a good looking guy. I have a friend who really isnt the best looking chap in...
