I'm a 24 year old Diffuse Thinner, with minimal temple loss. I have been suffering from thinning hair on the top and the crown. I used to keep shoulder length long hair as a teen because it fit me more and I liked the 'feel'. In the last year of high school, some of my friends pointed out the thinning area in my crown. I decided to simply keep my hair shorter because it was only the crown. It was shorter hair, but nothing like a buzzcut, so really it was a small sacrifice. Two years later the top also visibly thinned, so I had to spend more time in front of the mirror hiding the thinning through style. Yet, I never took action, which was really a mistake. I never thought thinning would progress this far. For the past year and a half, I haven't been able to 'get away' with even a buzzcut. Recently I decided that it's time to take action, and I'm hopeful about some regrowth. Better late than never and I will have atleast put up a good fight if there is no success! I'm committed to updating this thread if there are changes in my routine and hair. Hair updates will be posted AT LEAST every two months. My routine:
- Minoxidil liquid 5%, twice a day, for the last week and a half
- 1.25 MG of finasteride, I'm using 5mg generic finasteride that I cut into quarters
- Nizoral shampoo(2%), just started yesterday, and I'm planning on applying it every other day
- On May 13, I incorporated 10mg biotin into my routine. UPDATE: I quit biotin mid june, because all it did was make the sides of my head thicker, which made things worse.
- On May 14, I bought a 1.5mm dermaroller, which I'll be using twice a week, and immediately applying minoxidil afterwards.
