6 1/2 months on big 3

[DrDog]

Regime:
Finasteride 1mg everyday
Minoxidil 5% am/pm
nizoral 1% 5/7 days of the week at night
nizoral 2% 2/7 days of the week at night
Dermaroller once or twice a week

I dropped multi vit, biotin, and saw palmetto because I didn't believe any did anything. Saw palmetto maybe, but finasteride is much stronger. I'm expecting to be on the big 3 for the next 10 years, so I wanted to simplify my regime as much as I could. The dermaroller I picked up around month 4. I think it has helped.

Side effects:
A little dandruff and mild acne.

Timeline
Month 1 - Continuing to lose hair. Minor shedding.
Month 2 - OhGodWhy shedding
Month 3 - ItNeverEndsWhyWontItStop shedding
Month 4 - Okay..its slowing down.. a little regrowth good okay..
Month 5 - Looking a little better.. I'm not using any hair concealment anymore..
Month 6 - Still think about it, but not nearly as much anymore..regrowth is happening, but slowly.

Any close up pics of your hairline ?
Also a small tip for ppl that are shedding : use concealers ! It helped me tremendously

That's weird your hairline looks receded when it hang down but it looks full when you pull it back I'm the literal opposite

 

[DrDog]

just took this of hairline. Pretty bad quality but whatever.

I think you are over exaggerating with the 3/4 hair loss and depression cause of it. i bet your hair is better than most people here who are trying to recover hair.
good results, but really wasnt neccessary.

 

[bornwithacurse224]

Would you say tht your hairline has progressed or just the top of your head?

 

[DrDog]

I would say it has progressed very slightly, and still is progressing very slightly. It is getting thicker though, I'm not sure as a result of the hairs growing back thicker or because I'm growing more hairs.

I wouldnt call this success

And especially at 6 months... If your hair remains like this in 5 years. Then that would be success

Right now it's just average results
