Hi Folks, I have a quick question. I am noticing many of my new hairs that are growing in previously thin areas are coming in white, but the base of the hair is turning brown so that I have quite a few hairs that are half and half(ish). Has anyone else had this experience? If so, can you...

It appears that you have some recession taking place from your temples around to the front. From my experience I definitely noticed thinning on top, but I thought that was just the new normal. Finasteride (on month 8 now) has given me a great deal of thickness back already as well as expanding...

Hi folks. I appreciate all of the insight you all have provided over the months, and I have a couple of questions I would love to throw out for everyone. 1) does finasteride regrow hair “in reverse” for most of you that it has been successful for? Meaning, the most recent hair lost is the most...

Thanks! Absolutely no shedding. I was really nervous about it happening after reading some posts on here, but I actually noticed less hair in the shower/bath almost as soon as I started taking finasteride.

I definitely saw improvement at three months. At the time (3 months) I couldn’t tell how much my hair had improved, and I also think I didn’t think the progress I saw could be real. I thought I was imagining improvements, but I wasn’t! I just made a post of my seven month update, and I’m...

Thank you very much! The pictures don’t really show how much my hairline has changed, but I have noticed amazing progress. One thing I have noticed is how much more healthy the skin is at my temples now. I just made three collage images to see side by side changes.

I would love some thoughts on progress. Thank you all.

Hi folks, I am 35, and I never really thought about my hair or knew I could do anything about my receding hairline until last year. I got on the big three in November, and I am so incredibly thrilled with results. It has taken time, but I notice a HUGE difference. I am incredibly excited, and I...

Progress is just amazing. I had more time to really look today, and I am just amazed. I was praying for maintenance, but the growth has really been surprising. After four months I feel like things can only get better!

My hair is about 7” long on the top and it is getting long on the sides. I wash my hair twice a week and use dry shampoo on the second day that I don’t wash. It might sound gross, but my hair is so much healthier and it doesn’t take the damage that washing/conditioning/drying does to it. If my...

Yes, I use retin-a all over my face. Including my hairline (right up to the hair). I apply retain-a 30 minutes after bath/shower. Then I apply my minoxidil before bed. I use my 1.5mm dermaroller a couple of times a month at this point, and I use my .25mm dermaroller all over my face ever two or...

Thank you. Yes, it has changed this much since November. I am really surprised when I think of how it looked back in November. I have two “reference points” from November. The first (from the right temple) is the mole. The left side has a lone “stray hair” that actually really made me notice...

Cyclonus, I’ve never let my hair grow longer than six or eight weeks before in my life, so I’m owning what I’ve got now and I couldn’t be happier. I will never have Tom Cruise’s hair, but I’m going to be proud of what I have. Besides, when the 1970s calls you just have to answer. :)

This made me laugh. If I could pull of the Saul look, i would be pretty jazzed. ;)

Hello friend. Yes, it’s topical Retin-a cream. My strength is 0.025%, but there are different stronger strengths. There are also more options than just the cream (there’s a gel, a micro, a liquid, and maybe more). That is strange to me that it isn’t commonly prescribed there. Any idea why that...
