will try keep this short, but ive got alot to say!
just making this topic to help others by showing my yearly progress.
im shaving my head in a month or so now because its got too bad. to be honest, i cant wait to be done with it all and concentrate on the rest of my life. But as i got alot of help from here in the past i thought it only fair to show yearly pics on my regime before i get rid.
heres a link to my post a year or so ago with pics:
viewtopic.php?f=61&t=57071&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&hilit=davestep
my regime over the last year;
-nanominnox fms - 1 - 2 times daily
-s5 cream - 1 - 2 times daily
-nizoral - 2 times per week
-saw palmetto drink supllement - once a day
nano, i think is great. when using normal 7% minnox in the past i use to get really itchy scalp and it use to burn a bit and be really red etc. still get tiny bit of redness with nano but not noticeable at all, so much nicer on the scalp. the drying time is great, really does dry in 15 mins, thats a big factor for me because im always out and about.
s5 cream is really good because of the ease of use, just put it on your scalp and no1s the wiser. i had to stop finasteride by the way because of bad sides, s5 is obviously not as effective, but its the next best thing. Its lasts for ages too, you really dont need alot.
when i used s5 alongside normal minnox the smell was terrible, i actually found it hard to hide, be warned, this is a big factor. but after getting nano, the smell was non existent because of the fast drying time.
ive used a few regimes and i really think mine is so easy to use as i know how annoying it can get, especially when your out on the piss most nights, lol.
one thing i found really strange was...
if nano was the last product i used before showering, i would see atleast 10 to 20 hairs fall out in my hands. where as if s5 was the last product before showering, i would rarely see 1 hair in my hands. its understandable because of what the products do, but it would literally change from day to day depending which product i used prior to a shower???!!
like i said, my hairs got noticeably worse over the last year, but i do think these products have helped, not to stop it, just to slow it down, i'm only 24 and a vigouros loser, been loosing since 19/20, so yeh, im an unluky one, but my dad etc was the same at a young age, im surprised i made it this far. when you aim to keep as much as you can by your 25th birthday, thats depressing in itself.
ive had a gf for the past 7 months and lukily she can see past the hair so i think its a good time to be rid of it and enjoy my life again. she doesn't even no i use hair products, although i think she might! a good trick to hide minnox from your gf is...
after showering, dry your hair partly, apply minnox, then re wet the sides of your hair, go upstairs and she thinks your hairs wet from shower, then the nano will dry just as quick as the sides, perfect.
another thing, i use to keep s5 in my bathroom and had to throw one pot away half way through because it started to stink, then the next pot started to smell, so i put in fridge, smell went straight away, but ive noticed it went out of date in jan 2011 so wether its still effective?????
so thats it i think....
im resorting to a razor in a month or so, but i hope seeing my pics gives you a bit of help in what you wana try next.
any questions or if you want better pics, let me know?
good luck everyone.
pics feb 2011; i think my hair was longer a year ago!
