I'll maybe post another one of these at the 8 month mark if i'm still on it.

I'm like maybe an NW3? I don't know. It's more the very thin 'corners' of the hairline that i am attempting to 'regrow'

In short, no noticeable improvement in hair yet.


To be expected (?) as most say you need to wait at least 6-9 months - although I DO often read journals of people claiming to notice clear improvement within 2-3 months.

I've used the same lighting in the same room in all the youtube vids so it should be fairly consistent

My sides STILL remain though :(

and they are now becoming a slight concern, in so much as it's looking like they are here to stay, since it's now been 4 months!

Sides are very watery semen and painful ejaculation. Pain levels are determined by how long it's been since I last ejaculated. The longer the 'gap' the more the pain!

Onto pics and vids:!!

And finally, I bought a 'custom partial' hair piece (literally like 3cm deep!) ages ago that I've only worn once as an experiment. Thought i'd post the pic here lol
This isn't for now.
I bought it as I wanted to get to grips with it in case II carry on receding fast so that I have a 'fallback plan'

It was undetectable to look at, to be honest. Only thing I didn't like was that I could feel the hairline which aggravated my OCD!! haha (also had some issues with getting the bonding material to stick it down 'properly')

Your hair is amazing. You don’t need to do anything but you went down that route of no return. Shame. Members here would stab me to death for your hairline. Some would stab me for free.

Hey, man.
What do you mean ''route of no return?''

To be clear, I know that my hair could be worse! I know i'm lucky and that others have it much worse, but it doesn't count for much when you don't like what you see in the mirror. I have a fair few friends who went bald by about 21. I also have friends my age (30's) with practically juvenile hairlines!

I'm lucky that with a combination of fibres and styling, I can basically hide most of the thinning and some of the recession, but I won't lie in that I miss the hair I had a few years back!

I have a somewhat young looking face apparenty (I'm 34, but when I wear a cap, i've had girls guess me as 24! lol), and so I feel there's a slightly strange contrast with my receding hairline that i'd love to improve if possible.

A. The mess you took are for life. Stopping them will worsen the situation.

B. That hair piece looks ridiculous and it would be a shame to get dermatitis and follicular infection from it, please take it off.

C. When a few years pass and you lose more hair, you will appreciate what you thought of as mediocre. Trust me, enjoy your current hairline and face the inevitable as a man.

If taking propecia and other medications makes him happy. Why should he stop? Only because it didn't work for you/or incase you didn't attempt it doesn't mean that other's don't succeed from it. Stop being so narrow minded

Has he been banned? I was gonna ask what he meant about ''The mess you took are for life. Stopping them will worsen the situation.''

Also, anyone have any other thoughts on either my hair or my side effects?!

Definitely not a norwood 3. Our hairlines are basically idental and I'm like a Norwood 2.25 and so are you. I don't see your hair getting any worse though. Lucky.

I think i'm hard to diagnose, because I guess I still have some hair in the NW2.25 area as you say, but it's super thin and will surely dissappear soon and so I tend to count my hairline more in terms of where it's 'reasonably' thick, if that makes sense
