Background: - 20.5 years old - history of male pattern baldness on both sides of family - crown thinning and hairline thinning (honestly seems like mix bewteen typical male pattern baldness and diffuse thinning) Currently use: - Nizoral 2%, about 4 times a week (2 years) - Rogaine Foam, twice a day, applied to wet scalp (22...

yes. i do compound lifts 3-4 times a week. kind of like Rippetoe's Starting Strength if you have heard of that. whatever, i'm doing the big three so whatever happens happens. i'm not bad looking with a shaved head either.

^ I'm sorry I don't really understand what you mean by the adversed lifestyle/iron thing. and isn't propecia supposed to at least somewhat work past two years?

-been on rogaine foam, twice daily, for 15 months -been on nizoral for 18 months, once every three days on average -been on propecia for a little over 4 months I estimate that I've lost about 30% density in the whole male pattern baldness area. Most at the crown, but a little miniaturization at the corners of...

-19.5 years old -Estimate myself as Norwood 1.25/1.5 -Kind of a decent amount of thinning/miniaturization at crown. however, not really noticeable to regular population. Nobody's literally ever said anything, excepyt hair doctor when i saw him. -Already on Rogaine foam for 10 months, about 11-13...

i'm 19.5 yrs old. i went to a hair doctor guy (Dr. Robert Leonard) who said that my crown hair was def thinner than the rest of my hair. I can only notice it when I take two mirrors and get really close to them under the right lighting. I got on rogaine foam and nizoral right after and stuck to...

First off, what does the Propak part mean? Secondly, it was $255 for 90 supply. I don't care that much about the money but that seems absurdly expense. I got prescription filled at CVS in Boston, MA area. Any suggestions how to get cheaper?

my shed on Propecia won't be bad? B/C i'm def thinking about getting on it. thanks

and thinning miniaturized hairs that will eventually completely fall out. Basically when Rogaine Foam does actually work does it basically take these miniaturizing hairs and reverse the process and turn them back into terminal hairs?

How bad should you wait before getting on Propecia? When I keep my hair longer than half inch all around i have complete scalp coverage and nobody notices (I can barely even notice unless I use two mirrors directly under the light). However I def have miniaturization b/c a Doctor said so and i can...

my hair seems thicker/healthier if anything since seven months ago with rogaine foam and nizoral shampoo so i'll prob just keep routine going rest of life anyway (also male pattern baldness is pretty damn prevalent in family so it would be cool if it's possible to PREVENT male pattern baldness completely by taking it before any thinning)

twice a day could this have a negative effect? I've been using it for seven months and I think there is a chance i never started thinning. was just paranoid b/c i have buzz cut and only look with mirrors directly under light. thank you

I'm almost 100% sure I am a crown thinner (maybe diffuse) but it's so hard to tell b/c I think I caught it extremely early. I'm 19 years old btw and have not lost hairline at all. When I look in mirror under light it looks like i'm thinning b/c you can see scalp but I feel like it might just be...

How often do you take pics? What sort of lighting? What kind of camera? Is my macbook's camera good enough? I'm asking b/c i got on rogaine foam and nizoral like 6 months ago when I had little thinning/miniaturization. I think it has pretty much maintained but i can't tell for sure.

without a prescription? I'm 19 years old with diffuse thinning/maybe just crown thinning. still have N1 hairline (I believe). Already on rogaine foam for last 6 months but not getting results really.
