Hey 4myfuture! Thanks for the reply! Yeah it really was interesting the difference in the levels of success before and after including finasteride. Obviously I would never push you to take a medication that you didn't feel comfortable with, but based around my own personal experience, I would...

Hi Everyone - just here to share the story of my 3 year hair loss battle. I will be attaching pictures later on once I can find the best ones. Okay so here we go.... ABOUT ME: male hair loss sufferer aged 24.5. I first really noticed my hair loss at the start of my senior year of college at 21...

@tellersquill that is definitely correct! If you've got nothing in a certain area whatsoever, it won't work. However, you'd be shocked at how little hair you actually need for it to work!

Hi Everyone! I'm writing this because I see a lot of complaints about Toppik (and similar products) out on all the forums I follow, and I personally find them to be unfair. Often times you read how the product looks like dirt, how it falls out overnight, how it looks dull, etc. Now, as an...

Hey Guys, About 5 months ago I posted in the "Success Stories" portion of this forum because I had been on finasteride and didn't have any side effects (which I wanted people to know) and because my hair loss seemed to be slowing up big time. However, a week or two after that post I had a shed...

@RatherGoBlind There certainly could be an alternate cause to your hair loss. A lot of people do say that the side effects diminish after a month or two of use, and mine have definitely gone away. I am by no means saying that the sides are in your head, but keep in mind it is a...

For me it was about a month that I noticed decreased shedding. Every now and then I'll have a day where it seems like I'm shedding, but it's few and far between. I've stopped with minoxidil for now because I wanted to see what kind of effect finasteride could have on it's own considering it is so...

@Vincent777 sorry but I don't think that I ever said that people are making unsubstantiated claims about finasteride. What I'm saying is that you hear a lot more of the bad stories than the good stories. Also, I was not aiming any comment specifically at this forum, but at the numerous forums...

Hi Everyone, I am addressing this post to all men, especially younger men who are considering Propecia but are scared to take the plunge. Just a forewarning this is going to be fairly lengthy. MY STORY I am a 23 year old male and have been losing my hair since I was about 17. I didn't...

That is definitely success in my book! Congrats!

I guess it depends on what you consider "success". I'm a pretty young guy (23) so I still have an ok amount of hair left. However, it is noticeably thin and receding. I've been on Proscar for several months now and can absolutely say that my hair has stopped falling. I no longer have hair...

I know this won't be what you want to hear, but the best answer is maybe. You're correct that Munoz resets the hair growth cycle. The reality is that if you feel like your hair has gotten worse since minoxidil and you've been on it for several months (I'd personally give it at least 6 months if not...

I would say it's nothing to worry about! You see a little scalp when it's wet, but it looks perfect dry. My advice would be to not stress over it because no one would notice that but to keep an eye on it every now and then after a year just to make sure.
