The miniaturization of your hair follicles is what's causing them to become shorter and thinner. Basically, as dihydrotestosterone (DHT) attacks your hair follicles, they will slowly but surely get smaller and smaller with each growing stage. DHT will restrict or slow blood flow to the area...

Just wanted to say your hair looks great to begin with! I can definitely see some recession but it's in the very early stages luckily. You seem to have quite a good hairline as it is. 1 month is usually far too early to tell if you're responding well to treatment, but if you're shedding its...

In my opinion it looks a LOT better than baseline. I think you're selling yourself short. At the start of your treatments just about anyone might say you were balding, but now it's quite hard to tell. Not saying you were considering this, but DO NOT under any circumstances stop treatment because...

Re: Just started treatment Hey djarr! I'm happy to hear that you're not experiencing side effects from the finasteride. Maybe the side effects you experienced before were more psychological too? That's pretty much what happened to me. You and I have a very similar hair loss pattern, and what I have...

Thanks for the reply it means a lot. I'm heading back to uni tomorrow and will be taking all my hair loss stuff with me (nizoral, minoxidil, finasteride) so I'll wait to add anything else until the winter break and I'm back home. I'm glad you've kinda warned me about the MSM. The problem I get is when the hair...

Maybe a little tiny bit, but it's hard to tell without seeing pictures of your hairline when you were younger. You might just naturally have a mature hairline. At 17-18 is when I saw some thinning/recession so I know it's possible, I'm just not sure about your situation as everybody is...

Hey man, I live in Canada too. My family has a place down in the states and the last time I went down there I brought some rogaine back with me, but I have done a lot of research on the net and there's a few websites which will ship either the foam or liquid (5%) to Canada. There are also...

I'm not kidding, the second I saw your most recent pictures I said "oh my god" out loud. Truly shocked at how much hair you've grown back. Congrats I truly mean that. I'm going to stick with my current regimen for the next couple of months before I see some regrowth with the big 3, but you've...

Seriously man if you're taking all that stuff orally god knows how bad it is on your body. I currently take 1.25mg of finasteride with no side effects... but I hate to say that I feel as though you're overstating your hair loss to a degree. Oral spironolactone is what MTF transsexuals take to turn into...

Looks a lot better than your baseline. I'm amazed what only 2% minoxidil can do. Pretty incredible but I guess considering your age you're in the perfect situation to achieve regrowth. Good luck dude.

Wow! Vertex looks way better at this point. Hopefully the temples get thicker from here on out. Good luck man

Can you wait to cut it up? That would be better. But either way you're allowed to take prescription drugs on a flight and it's exactly that so there's nothing to worry about. Just be sure to keep it in the bottle with the prescription label. As for the finasteride/MDMA I highly doubt they interact.

This is an epic thread. Just wanted to say your hair looks awesome. Your hard work at the gym has clearly paid off judging by your physique, it's very impressive. You're an inspiration to a lot of guys on here including myself. Hopefully I'll be in the success stories section at some point too...

1 Week update: Things have been going well so far. Of course it's way too easy to see any growth but I've noticed quite a bit of shedding the past couple of days which I assume is normal from what I've read. Had to quit the minoxidil for now because of the itchiness and redness it was giving...

Re: Kthxbi's Story UPDATED. - (heavy nw2? finasteride/nizoral) great growth dude, really impressed that's all without minoxidil
