    Need some advice.. (pics included)

    unfortunately, number 3s (3/8" buzz) dont work great for diffuse (general) hair thinning. They tend to make the top of the head look very transparent, although it depends on your degree of hair loss. In general, you would be be better either cutting it to about an inch to an inch-and-a-half...

    Are we vain, us the People who visit here?

    ahh thats frustrating but you learned a lesson. Dont talk about it! lol. Yes, its a double standard, but its not going to get you anywhere by explaining that. If she brings it up again you can bust her for the pounds of foundation and stuff, but youll look real dumb if you just bring it up next...

    Photoshop

    Today Im on the big 3, and im comfortable with my hair, but I still suspect that my hairloss is creeping forward, and I am a still a young man. For the hell of it I decided to photoshop my head as bald, after I patted my hair down to see the shape of my head. Guess what? I dont think Ive ever...

    lil update :)

    1 and a half months in, my hair seems to not be falling out as much and some small hairs are sprouting :) I thought i was doomed!! I had the "proscar" talk with my GP last night and I asked him if he knew about finasteride, and he said that Merck relies on him for clinical trials and that he was...

    being black and bald

    I agree about black peoples hairlines, since they almost always go for razor straight with buzz cuts. Black people with mild diffuse thinning its hard to tell tho cuz afro hair fills up a lot of space, even when its a short buzz. Also its hard to see your bald spots cuz your hair and skin is...

    Suppose you could call today a 'bad hair day'

    I was just reading this post and um, it didnt sound like you the butt of any jokes.. No one makes mean-spirited jokes about people to their face unless their being confrontational... it sounds like the girls were trying to flirt with you.... thats what many women do.. they tease you about...

    You guys overreact way too much

    Orson Wells was definitely on finasteride!! Seriously thought you make a good point, but consider that most people taking hair loss treatments would wish that they got started earlier. What is more important that basic recession when deciding on treatment is how rapidly the hair is thinning/ receding as...

    Hope for those with rapid hair loss.

    Hey guys, I shared some info on my hairloss about a month back when I started taking Propecia. At that time I had lost about 50% density since the end of August where I had a full head of hair and now Im probably at about 1/3 density. I know hair loss treatments cause shedding, but heres the...

    Can't give blood while on finasteride.

    although the blood doesnt mix, obviously certain compounds, nutrients hormones etc diffuse between the different vascular systems.

    Is it normal not to experience any symptoms?

    Also I am very curious to see what happens with your hair on the drugs since a lot of what you said is the same for me. Ummm, can I ask you what your hair loss pattern is like and how fast you started losing hair?
