I have been finasteride and minoxidil for about 2.5 years. In the last 6 months I have gotten PRP (platelet rich plasma) treatment (4-5 sessions). I honestly saw no improvement after PRP. My shedding has always been bad, but recently I have noticed increased shedding. After drying my hair in...

where I circled in the red is what I classify as a "lone soldier". clearly hair leftover from where my hairline used to be?

I have been on Propecia for about 10 months & Rogaine foam for roughly 4. From pretty much the 4th month and on of using Propecia I have noticed significant shedding. I actually think my crown situation has gotten better/not gotten worse, although it is hard to tell. However, my hairline I...

I have been on Finasteride (1mg) for about 6.5 months and Rogaine foam for almost 2 months. I apply the Rogaine throughout my entire scalp (crown, temples, middle etc). Although it is hard to tell if things have gotten worse, I have not seen any noticeable improvements in my hair status. I...

I have been using Rogaine Foam for about 2 months. My current process is I usually apply after I shower (Hair slightly wet). I apply the foam to the back of my head as well as through the rest of my scalp. Once dried my hair is stiff, waxy and almost impossible to style after. Does anyone...

Yeah my biggest fear is that its just getting lost in my hair and not doing the proper work on my scalp. On the other hand I figure, although definitely in my hair it has to have made its way to my scalp to some extent.

I have been using Rogaine Foam 5% Minoxidil for about a week now (twice daily). My hair is some what long and I apply to my hair when its partially wet to be able to see the thinning spots best. When applying I usually put the canister right onto my scalp to try and get as direct as possible...

How long have you been using it? Do you think it has thickened hair at all? I think my scalp is in rough shape I can feel calcium buildups which I'm sure is not helping my situation. My thought it the Nioxin will help clear that up.

Curious if anyone has used Nioxin before. Especially if it has been used with Propecia & Minoxidil as well. I'm thinking about adding Nioxin & Minoxidil to my Propecia regime and I'm very curious if anyone else out there has tried this and if so what type of results they saw. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the response. I will start minoxidil next week I think. I'm going to also throw in a Nioxin regime, I cant see how that can hurt me. A healthy scalp can't do any harm I wouldn't think.

I appreciate your reply...Hopefully these pictures are better...I guess based on a lot of my reading getting the shed close to the 5th month mark (W/o getting any previously) seemed a little weird to me. Also, the fact that it seems that I'm shedding longer and healthier looking hairs sometimes...

Thanks for the reply. I have attached a few photos. The 1st & 2nd photo show how it looks when normally styled. (For the record I wore a hat today so my hair is matted down). In the 3rd photo you can see what I refer to as the "1st layer" or thinning part of my hair brushed down. You can...

Hello - I am 24 years old and have been taking Propecia (1mg) daily for about 4.5 months. All my life I have had very thick hair. My entire dad's side of the family is thick and full hair including my 85 YO grandfather. I'm not sure about my Mother's side. About 6 months ago I noticed when...
