1st Post and 14th Month Update.....

[Secret]

Hi Guys,
I have always had fine hair but with no thickness. When I hit 21 I started receding so I hit the Regaine £30 a month (back in late 80’s). It worked like a dream until I hit 35 then I noticed I was fast becoming a Norwood 2.5. So I researched the hair loss sites and found this site. I spent months going through each post reading the good the bad and thanks to Gunner the funny too. I decided to go on the big 3 plus Centrum and within 2 months I had the big shed, my crown almost slick bald. After 7 months I noticed my fringe getting longer until one day I found something in my eye and it was hair. My crown has now thickened up enough to feel thick when I style my hair, which is now cosmetically good. Where my fringe had become to miniaturise before I started on Proscar, I now have the original texture of hair on my forehead before my loss. I switched to Kirkland minoxidil about 6 months ago, which pays for my finasteride by itself so I couldn’t be happier. I don’t count the hairs in the sink nor do I examine my hairline every day. I know I will have good months and bad months but I will try to enjoy life.
I just like to say a big thank you to everyone who has posted on this site as it has helped to educate me about male pattern baldness.
Thanks….

Thanks for the update im 21 now and ould love minoxidil to keep my hair till im 35... Youve given me some hope

kept your hair for that long did it? Wow, that IS encouraging. I Was expecting 5-6 years TOPS. I love hearing these. Of course it may just be a case of very mild male pattern baldness. WOuld you attribute the maintenance to the medication?

Yeah, the Regaine slowed my loss comprehensively until I was into my 30’s. Back in those days it was only 2% minoxidil. I applied it twice a day and I never missed a dosage, so I did well to maintain. What has given my hair a second life is the Proscar ¼ a day. I didn’t think Proscar would help me with my fringe but it has reversed the miniaturisation.
