Question to all you finasteride experts out there: It's been months and I've finally realized that my problem is typical pattern baldness, not telogen effluvium, as my dermatologist led me to believe. Where can I buy some reliable finasteride? I've read that some people don't trust generics, and some...

Hey, man. I think your hair-loss is simply a maturing hairline. It doesn't look bad at all. You might be self-conscious about it, and if it's really ruining your life and you don't want to take Propecia, you could get a hair transplant done. Get a few follicular units placed on the center of...

Hey, man. I think you need to evaluate what it is that you want the results to be. Are you shedding or still receding? Personally I think your "summer haircut" looks good. If you want to regrow, stick to your one-year plan that you had from the beginning. If you just want to maintain, keep...

Has anybody in this forum used the laser comb? I'd like to see if anybody would recommend it.

Wow, I'd like to apologize for the TERRIBLE support you've received in this forum. To be honest, I think 10 hairs when blow drying your hair is no big deal, considering what you have. If you really think your hairline is receding, you should consider taking medication for it, but there are...

Re: Jjchin's Story (25) Thanks for your concern. The reason I asked is because I'm trying to figure out what I have. I'm losing hair really fast. I just got back home from taking a final exam (I'm in school), and about 5-6 hairs fell from my head to the desk from 8:30am to 10:00am. 6 hairs in...

Re: Jjchin's Story (25) I have a question for you, Jjchin. I hope you can help me out. Before you started the latest shed, back when you were 21, did you notice hair falling out all the time (shower, pillow, clothes)? Or was it more gradual (one day you looked at yourself in the mirror and...

Hey, man. Do yourself a favor and DON'T increase your drug intake. Your hair is awesome, don't risk it by increasing the dosage. I could see some areas of concern back in the 2009 pics, but it looks like you recovered very well. Like they said above, go enjoy your full head of hair.

Hey, Bryan. Yes, you and I seem to be going through the same problem. I had no complaints with my hair until the moment I moved from LA to Boston. I came here to start grad-school. School made me stressed, I missed lots of sleep, and ate differently. Almost instantly I started seeing hairs...

This is the bulb I'm talking about. [attachment=1:21tc73ik]hair-club.jpg[/attachment:21tc73ik] If you run your fingers through the tip, you'll feel that the tip has a knot at the end. Hard to see sometimes, but you can feel it with your fingertips. That means your follicle is just resting, and...

What I'm gonna tell you is what my dermatologist said to me. I've confirmed some of this online. If the hair that's falling out looks thick from the top end to the scalp end, it's a good sign. If it has a hard bulb at the end (usually white), it means it fell out during its natural telogen...

Hey, man. Have you tried doing research on Telogen Effluvium? It sounds to me that if you're suddenly losing healthy hair, that's what you might have. You can do a few internet searches on it. This article is very thorough as well: http://www.americanhairloss.org/types_o ... uviums.asp I think...

Re: Telogen Effluvium or Pattern Baldness? Thanks for the quick reply, mother nature. I was afraid it was male pattern baldness as well. What makes me wonder is the type of hair I'm losing. From what I've heard, male pattern baldness hair shows signs of miniaturization first. The hair I'm losing has full thickness and a white...

My story has been pretty short, I'd like to know your opinion. [attachment=2:1t7xye2d]loss3.jpg[/attachment:1t7xye2d] I've been living in Los Angeles my entire life. As you can see on the first picture, I had lots of hair, so no complaints there. I moved to Boston in August 2010 for grad school...

I'm really happy to see you've made strides in your recovery. Pardon my ignorance, I'm kind of new here, but what's the "big three" that you say you're using?
