Noticed small vellous hairs about 3-2 months ago. (now in month 11 finasteride and minoxidil 2%). it seems that the majority of them grow longer now and become more pigmented. Now this seems to be a good sign! Keep u up to date...

Which one do you think is more difficult to regrow: Temples or frontal hair?

Hey there, Just a question for those on finasteride: How long does it work? I know this varies from person to person, I also read a lot about finasteride gradually lusing it's effect after 5 years and so on.... What are the facts? Thx! Surferosa

yo misterium I also just passed the 10 month mark. I am currently losing more hair, I think my hair already looked better. On the other hand, my skin is now worse than ever any my body is itching all over. Most likely it's the stress I had in the last months. One question: how often do...

I can confirm what chewie said: 10 months on propecia now, vertec filled up nicely, frontal looks a bit worse than before. SInce month 9, losing more hairs (~100 when showering, no visible hairloss during the day&night, 3-4 hairs on my pillow every nite). So it seems to work for me...

Hy There, Just wondering after reading all this "Dont-eve-quit minoxidil" posts; how many minoxidil applications can I miss until I am getting in trouble? Suppose you run out of minoxidil on friday and everything's closed until monday? Next question; I did run out of my normal minoxidil 2% on friday...

Hy Chewbaca, I do shed a lot - strange thing, only when I am washing my hair. I also applied 5% minoxidil for the last 2 days instead of the normal 2%, then switched back to 2 %. Any Idea if this causes shedding? Appart from that; I am losing more hair now, as I never experienced shedding...

dont' get me wrong; these hairs are becoming more and more visible. One month ago, they didn't look like they do now. And I got them after 10 monts of 2% minoxidil. I'll switch to 5% now. I'll post my results.... :) We'll see if that does make any difference!

they grow in areas where I apply minoxidil / eg. in areas, where I am thinning. I haven't discovered them on the sides or areas where I don't apply minoxidil. Why is it a bad sign?

wow...I always haid a lot of body hair, but I don't think it grows stronger now. Let me tell you it's not that bad. Use a blade or wax (ouch.) Some girls like it (though I don't) and I can tell you that no girl has had any problems with that. But one strange thing I noticed; my fingernails...

:) Posted it earlier; most people said it's a good sign. As for my personal experience, I think that yes, these vellus hairs seem to become stronger and darker. I don't know if they will look like they once did, in fact I doubt it, maybe a percentage of them will do. Nevertheless; I am...

thanks for the advice.... For me, it's definitely not bodyhair. I have the hair in my hands while washing them. And from the look of the hairs, I can tell it's head-hair. (tiny, colorless, root, bigger diameter & becoming darker at the end). But knowing others had a shed in month 9 on finasteride...

9,5 months of finasteride (1mg) and minoxidil (2%) THE GOOD: -Hairloss stopped, at least I think so :) -Vertex filled up visibly -Scalp itching is much better now -Lots of little hairs, yet small and colorless THE BAD: -Bad shed right now :freaked2: LIBIDO: It thought I would suffer from...

Hy There, I made the same experience. Just to add; I am also genetically losing my hair. But I can tell you, that a lot of stress made me definitely lose my hair.

So am I . :evil: Strange thing is, I only lose a lot of hair during harwash ;) BTW: I really have a bad shed - Month 9,5 of Propecia. I heard that, according to MSD, shedding in month 9 is quite common. Any ideas? (Sorry if this has been asked many times before :) Nevertheless...
