Well after being a spectator of this site for about a year, I finally decided to register. I just got a haircut, and it does not look good. Anyways, I'm 22 years old and have been balding since probably around 17. I've always had a high hairline, so it's really hard to say when it started. For a long time I just watched my hairline and did nothing. My problem is that my hairline is receding pretty fast up front. Everywhere else is pretty thick.
About two years ago I thought, hey I'll just see what happens and then I'll get a hair transplant someday down the road. After I researched that, NOOO WAY! It just wasn't something I'd do, at least not at this point. My hairline didn't get to me that much. So about a year ago I started reading this site, and tried to figure out what the best treatments are. About a month ago this is what I started:
Regime
1% nizoral been on it for 40 days
1.25 mg finasteride for 38 days
5% Rogain for 28 days
The first week or two was good; my hair seemed thicker. But now, my hair has not only begun to recede faster, but the hairs where I apply the rogaine have become very thin and limp. I still haven’t seen any new hair regrowth, but I know it’s still early. I’ve had no sides from any of the meds. But, is it normal to experience thinning before things get better? I know about the shed, which is definitely happening, but the thinning has me worried. Life’s still good; I go out all the time and get girls. But, let me know what you guys think about my regime and just all around approach. Give me some encouragement! Lie to me if you have to!
I don’t have any pics, but I’ll look for a camera and take some soon
