Hey guys, I used to check in every year at hairlosshelp but it's toast, so here I am. I've been taking finasteride 1mg daily since I turned 24 and I rounded the corner at 30 a few weeks ago.
Sorry bout the massive typos
.
As usual these days not much to report. NW2 thick head of hair. They say finasteride stops hairloss in it's tracks for some people... and it definitely has for me. I haven't lost more than an eighth of an inch on my hairline in almost 6 years. And nothing on the crown.
My dad is NW5 and my brother two years older is NW4. I started losing hair at 24, hairline moving back so fast you could almost see it. Going to weddings now is insane. The guys that used to have receded hairlines like me are totally bald by now and I've lost nothing.
The population on hairloss forums is self selecting, most guys that find success never post again. I try to buck that by posting at least once a year.
Check my username on other forums for old pics. I'll take some tomorrow if you really want, but honestly it's kinda pointless. I used to take pics every 6mos but after about 3 yrs I realized I wasn't losing hair anymore and stopped.
No side effects, pop a finasteride every am like it's a sugar pill. I know this isn't the same experience for everyone but for me it was as good as a cure. I used minoxidil every morning for a few years until I realized finasteride was what worked for me and stopped.
Anyways yeah my regiment is a finasteride every day if I get around to it. I think a lot of guys discount just how effective it can be for some of us or blow a large part of their lives worrying about their hair. I'll say this.... My high hairline is static and almost everyone else's gets worse by the year. I looked like I was balding for a few years in my mid twenties(I was) but for thirty I have a damn good set of locks. It's all relative after all I guess???
