It is a somewhat unorthodox place to start losing your hair. But people have different patterns and the Norwood patterns are just general tendencies. They apply to most people, but not absolutely everyone. Some people have some very interesting patters. I know one guy who basically went bald...

Congrats man, I'm on the same regimen here and things are going great too!

Congratulations man! 3 years here on finasteride and minoxidil and things couldn't be better. Reversed an Norwood 3.5 to an Norwood 2 and no side effects other than occassionally a little bit of itchy scalp, probably because I used the cheaper generic minoxidil from Costco. Never got itch from the more...

Yup, I agree with rerun. You probably have male pattern baldness. Very common. You can have it even if your dad, brothers, uncles etc don't have it. And generally speaking, it is progressive, so your bald spot will probably get worse. It may be one year it may be 10. You may get a bigger...

Just my perspective here, but I think that once you are on a regimen that works for you, you should just stay on it indefinitely. Forever. Hair loss is such a strange thing, and even the top doctors in the field don't seem to fully understand it. What we do seem to know is that DHT blockers...

Warlord is funny!

The problem with Nizoral is that the company has been unreliable as of late. I have switched to Regenepure and it seems ok. I don't think this stuff adds much more to the Rogaine / Propecia regimen, but I will say that the Regenepure ingredients have just about everything that MIGHT have an...

hehe, zerolibido is a faker! hehe...

Hmm, that's why I sometimes wonder about the usefulness of terms such as a "mature hairline." It gives people an idea they can use to justify not treating their male pattern baldness. "Maybe it will stop here." The concept of a mature hairline may encourage people to not treat their male pattern baldness early enough.

Good luck with the treatments! Do note that only about 1% of men get any side effects...that's what all of the studies show, but you'll have to decide what information you are going to believe, scientific studies or internet posters. Been on finasteride here for three years, no sides here. Just had...

Yes because if you have success on FDA approved drugs with well designed clinical studies that show effectiveness and safety, then you must be working for big pharma. Yes, everything is a conspiracy. Everything bad is good and good is bad. The Illuminati are coming. Best to whine and...

Hi all, I'm new to the board here. I will post a quick introduction shortly but I just wanted to ask your take on the topic (no pun intended) of combining hair transplants with smp - scalp micropigmentation. I mean...what can I really say. I guess I just wanted to state my position and see...

A little more alcoholy and less greasy than rogaine. Rogaine feels a bit more oily, but it actually feels like its healthier for your hair. The Kirkland stuff makes my head a little itchy at times, and I think I get more flakes than with Rogaine. But its a lot cheaper and effective so I use...

I just went ahead and bought a bottle of Regenepure Dr. Expensive...small bottle for like $25 bucks. But it has 1% keto in it and lots of other good stuff so it'll do the job until Nizoral returns or something cheaper comes up.
