@pegasus2 what a toxic mentality man. I feel bad for you. Just lower your expectations a bit and you will be a lot happier for sure!

Maintenance + 1 or 2 hair transplants should be the cure for all of us. If not, you better start shaving haha

0-3 yr fina > massive regrowth. From NW3 with diffused in NW6 to full NW1,5/2 ish. 3-5 yr duta > Fina stopped working, so upgraded to duta. Loss stopped and previous gains came back even stronger. 6-7 yr from duta back to fina > started losing gains since duta stopped working. Switched back...

Interesting. I’m a long time duta user, going downwards for the past 2 years after some years of very good results. Do the same possible side effects of spironolactone also count for RU? By stating it is best to try RU first, I assume this is less strong than spironolactone?

You clearly didn’t do any research. Try fina for at least a year to 1.5 year, to evaluate what it did for you. The first months can look like your situation is going downhill, while in most cases it doesn’t. Still not any positive results like maintainance after more than a year? Then you could...

Could adding topical RU to the regimen to reduce scalp T caused by duta, potentially hinder the growth of facial hair? By that I mean hinder it more than duta does on its own? At this moment I am on a (successful) journey for growing a decent beard, as well as I am fighting hair loss. The duta...

Sure you can. The buzzcut already looks good on you + you might improve a bit with the routine you’re mentioning. Take these 2 years to put money aside for the procedure and have something nice to look out for by the start of 2022. Stay positive man!

Ofu Like I said, the density won’t be perfect. But it seems to me that your donor is at least capable of harvesting about 3000 grafts. Just do an online consult to be sure. A lot of them are free of charge. Go for a NW1,5 (or NW2) hairline to frame your face, and spread the remaining grafts...

I understand, that’s good to hear. I never had any side effects on finasteride, duta or minoxidil, so I hope this sets a good marker for my body’s respons to RU. I will start some research on it and will most likely add it to my regimen. Last 2 questions for now: - is 85 mg the daily recommended dose? -...

To be honest: with your hair status, in my opinion the battle (for a decent result) is already lost. The good news is, you indeed have got a great head shape. The buzzcut suits you better than the thin few hairs you had before. If I were in your shoes, this is what I (after lockdown) would do...

I am a long time duta user. Never heard/read this one before, but sounds very interesting! I’m slowly losing ground again, so adding RU might at least halt the loss like duta did before? The two work synergetic? I am not afraid of side effects, but is there any risk (like feminization) by...

Speak for yourself. I DO care about keeping the same hair for 6 months, as long as the procedure is any affordable. The problem is, that the maintainance drugs you mention are all temporary. For me, minoxidil and duta did its work and lost all its efficiency. Now I’m slowly going back to baseline...

Definitely not, just a regular cowlick. Now get tf out and come back in 10 yrs! ;)

My hairline is totally destroyed, take my word for that. The center is kind of intact, but my temples lost about 3-4cm each. The far worst is the overall thinning in NW6 pattern. For your interest; all that I’ve lost for the past two years, are the massive gains that I had in the years before...

Because after 2-3 insane years of regrowth on fina, the results slowly started to reverse. Bought myself another 1-2 years on good results by upgrading to duta. Unfortunately the reverse has returned. My hairloss is just too agressive for AA’s to battle it any longer. Still on duta today, since...
