Just an update. Went only with finasteride, roughly 0.5mg/day. The crown has grown back very strong, and hair loss is barely noticeable. Kind of a miracle cure :). Overall, I am fairly happy with the results of just using finasteride. And I get a years worth of use out of a single...

Its not that bad.. Get on finasteride (Propecia / 1mg Proscar), and that crown should thicken up or at least not get any worse. It will get worse over time, no doubt about that. But still very controllable and treatable at this stage and at your age of 30..

zx, that has no relevance to the fact that the poster in question was able to cure quite severe horse shoe baldness with finasteride and a little bit of hair transplant to fix the temples.

Re: 28 years old, any hope? Well it didn't actually look too bad till a year and a half ago when it became pretty much impossible to style because of what I now realize is miniaturization -- gel just can't adhere well to miniaturized hairs, so combing it all back and gelling it down was no...

Ok. 28 years old. Started suffering a receding hairline at approximately 19 years old, and crown miniaturization became noticeable at 23 or 24. Just started on 1mg finasteride (Proscar, cut into 5ths) on Jan 1/2008. Hair used to be extremely thick all over the crown, and of course on the...
