Perhaps it's just the lighting but, to me, your hair looks a little better. Plus you don't have those red blotchyish spots anymore. I don't think most people would notice that you've had an hair transplant. Many might might not even realize you're thinning... Keep us updated with your progress ;)

Hey ryohazuki, welcome to the forum. Unlike a lot people, I think it is possible that you have significantly exacerbated your hair loss problem with stress factors of all kinds. You very well might have a sensitivity to DHT and other things but I am a firm believer that stress (Trauma...

I too have diffuse thinning. I started my treatment 1 week ago but I'm only on 5% minoxidil as I think it should be enough for me. So I really cant comment on the big 3 from personal experience. I do want to give you some encouragement though. You more or less still have full coverage and, even...

@oldmpber Thanks for the reply. I'll try to keep that in mind, you make some very good points. I'm not totally opposed to finasteride, but I think I'll try a topical solution first. Hopefully that will help my chances of not getting side effects. BTW, what's "fpb"? ***EDIT*** Nevermind, I figured...

Two years ago, the hair on top was noticeably thinner and a lot more sparse than the rest. Now, I would say they are about the same in texture and thickness but I have less density on top. On the side, the hair is thinner than it used to be though. I'm reading up on the various topicals at the...

Re: Moosetache's story - (25 years old, baseline pics pg.2) I got a haircut today so I figured it would be a good time to post some baseline pictures. As I said in an earlier post, I've been keeping track of my hairloss for quite a while and it seems to have halted or, at the very least, it's...

First of all, define full head of hair, because I've seen many people with mental, stress, sleep and whatever other disorders who have full coverage (nw2) but extreme diffuse thinning (such as my uncle... ulcerative colitis) Now for the external factors themselves, it always depends on the...

Hey Nooby, welcome from a fellow newcommer :salut: Your story sounds somewhat similar to mine, though I don't have all the details for yours obviously. It absolutely could and probably is genetic (ie. you've lost all you had to lose for now and will stay like this for however long) or it...

Re: My hairloss story... (25 years old w/pictures) I have to disagree. Sure, if your predisposed for aggressive hair loss, than it will happen no matter what. On the other hand, I think there are many nuances here. I'll use my family to try and make this point. I have 10 aunts but only 2...

Re: My hairloss story... (25 years old w/pictures) Absolutely, I would rather go bald as billiards ball tomorrow than be unhealthy, tired and generally miserable for the rest of my life. Btw, I tried a few supplements that were just not for me before I settled on sam-e. Be patient and keep in...

Q A few more pics from years earlier The first one is with my teenage hairline. It's a school picture from when I was 15 (we wore uniforms to school :P) The next ones are from a few years ago, in the early stages after I realized that my hair was falling out quick, (I was losing hairs by...

Re: My hairloss story... Hey, I just wanted to add a few pictures I just took (april 23rd 2012) I took these with the webcam on my laptop since I don't have my camera at the moment and the quality is pretty bad. There's no flash and most of the lighting is coming from my TV. The thinning on...

Re: My hairloss story... Thanks for the support Antman :) As far as which supplements work best for me, that was mostly by trial and error. And yes, they have had a very positive effect on me. For starters, I had horrible insomnia to the point where it was extremely difficult for me to fall...

(Sorry if this is long, I wanted to keep it short but I failed miserably...) So, like many people on this board, I used to have thick luscious hair. So thick in fact that, every time I went for a haircut, the hairdresser would make a comment about it and proceed with thinning it out. It seems...
