So I'm 24 yo, have been loosing my hair since I was 17. My dad and brother are bald. I started using propecia--didn't work, then went on to hair club--didn't work. When I was 23 I had my first hair transplant (1500 grafts). It actually helped me feel a lot better. I also started using DUTASTERIDE but, believe it or not, it didn't help. Actually hair loss got worse. I quit Dutas and my Dr. told me to start Propecia again, now I'm also using Rogaine foam 5% and lasercomb.

Hair loss still there, it still falling out. I'm about to get a 2nd hair transplant because I want my hairline lower. I know I'm obsessed but hair makes a person. I've gotten more flirts since I had the first surgery than ever. Specially cuz ppl like my hair it's curly, dark blonde.

But it worries me because we only have limited grafts to be transplanted (I believe 7000) My Dr says I should take the risk because he doesn't see a lot of hair loss compared to my past pics and I do trust him but I see myself in the mirror and I dont have the same full head of hairs I have and all those 3 things I'm using doesn't seem to be working very good.

Hair multiplication seems far far away from reaching the public and it should be EXTREMELY expensive. On the other hand there aren't any new drugs in prospective to come out.

Well I hate hair loss. I need to have a head full of hairs but probably that wont happen anytime soon. I'll have my hairline lowered and still be able to get more hair transplanted but it won't give me the density I need and want. And maybe I'll run out of them (I pray to God this wont happen).

Anyways yeah... I'm obsessed and sometimes depressed. I can't imagine going in the pool without having to worry how my hair will look and my bald spots show up. Specially when I see people happy with a head full of hairs enjoying the beah :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(

Welcome to the forum dude, and am sorry to hear the effect hairloss is having on you :(

Logic and scientific studies do show that dutasteride will keep your hair better than finasteride though. Maybe you should switch back?

HM is at least 10 yrs away from getting to the public

However I am optimistic some more advanced treatments than Propecia will be developed within the next 5-10 years.

just hang in there!

go back to dutasteride and your hair should be looking great for many years to come.

I agree with everyone, the hair transplant was a good job.

I re-read the post and I see the dutasteride didnt work for him.

I hope spironolactone will make a difference.
