as promised here are my *almost* 9 month pics

(HairLossTalk.com sorry, i needed somewhere to store, if its a problem let me know...)

Ok a few things
A) i know they're not the same angle, lighting, etc, but i have tons of pics if anyone wants to clarify something(dunno why, but hey)
B)Trust me i grew some damn hair. I have no reason to lie, and personally i don't even really think i've had phenomenal regrowth, *BUT* its significant regrowth nonetheless.
C) the before pics don't really do much justice. Most were with my webcam. But seriously, before if there was any kind of above lighting, i could see all through my hair. Gel wouldn't even harden it. Now i can almost never see scalp (at least in the mid/top portion)
D) My hair grows so fast now that its difficult to control length for pics. Seriously the GSE and MSM make my hair grow unbelievably fast (to the point where it creeps me out, and others notice) and i kinda like it longer, so i'm going with it till it looks like sh*t.
E) although i'm happy with my hair the way it is now, it is still like i said only 60% of the hair i had when i was 16 or so (5 years ago).
I guess my genetics gave me an insane amount of hair to start, but only let me keep it half as long as most people
*oh and the order is all messed up for the pics, look at the captions.

I figure i should post these, just to see what people think. I'm in a real bind right now, because i'm getting good regrowth, but i'm also getting the damn gyno too.

Looks great Diddy!

 

[goldenbears]

looks very similar to my situation. great job. im hoping to respond just as well with a finasteride-only regimen.

Question for diddy, were you noticably losing hairs (sink, shower, when you run your hands through your hair, etc.) or did you just notice a slow overall thinning as the time went along?

 

[Diddy]

MSM is methyl-sulfonyl-methane primary use is for joint pain i beleive. costs like $5 for a bottle of 100. I take two daily. Studies have shown it increases hair and nail strength (and grows em faster)
GSE is Grape Seed Extract, its an awesome antioxident, and thats why i take it. Unlike vitamin C or E, GSE can neutralize more then one free radical. Studies have shown it increases the speed hair grows.

Basically taking both makes my hair grow lightning fast. To the point where people comment, and even my barbers want to cut my hair really short always because they say it grows insanely fast.

I figure if healthy hair is waiting to come up and grow, pushing it out faster can't really hurt :lol:

 

[Diddy]

oh yeah, garth: nah man, i can remember it exactly, i was 18 and doing some homework, and noticed like 20 hairs on the white sheet of paper. I was like wtf? Brushed my hair more to see how many would fall out, and like 90-100 came out. I thought it was odd but left it alone for a bit

That summer i lost quite a bit. My hair generally used to work like this: kinda stands up on its own to a certain length, and then i notice it falls/parts once it gets longer (shafts are only so strong right). Basically i cut it when that would happen. In the summer i had to get way more haircuts then usual (and go shorter then usual) After summer i started to notice my hair was really different looking now. I saw a buddy whom i haddened seen for a while, and he commented that the corner of my hair was getting bigger.
That year was also when i started growing chest hair...so, something was up that year.

 

[garthbrooks]

sounds like my exact situation. just started noticing more chest hair, and my hair just started shedding a few months ago. i noticed that hair loss seems to come on strong with the later stages of puberty (beard thickening up, and body hair). supposedly that is when the body is very high in testosterone. DHT as well i assume. hope things work out as far as cutting back on the proscar.

 

[Hairybush1]

Looks like some improvement to me. There is no doubt the stuff works. I have had some good thickening of exisisting hairs and overall hair improvment. I am happy with the way things are going.

 

[Guest]

Your hair looks good man. Try spironolactone 5% it works well for me so far. To get regrowth use

Xandrox 5% twice a day for a year then once a day after that

 

[bombscience]

Diddy. Looking really good. I'm hoping i can see half the results you had. keep it up.

 

[fuzbucket]

i have to say, and this is going to sound gay, your hair looks beautiful in some of those pics! lol

 

[Stinger122]

I think what In-Valid means is: A lot of us wish we had hair just like yours

 

[Mikey]

If you hadn't shown before pics I would have been really pissed off :roll:

But you did and it looks as though you have done really well, congratulations. Now go live a happy life

 

[Diddy]

i have to say, and this is going to sound gay, your hair looks beautiful in some of those pics! lol

:shock: uhmm ok, heh thanks man.

Like i said i'm not totally out of the woods, but there has been great improvement. For only 9 months of treatment i feel good. Hopefully treatment on the reduced does of .5mg propecia should still be effective.

I'm still taking pictures, and I'll let everyone see whats up 4 months from now. (Breasts and all)

What did you mean by signs of GYNO???

 

[YoungandBalding]

Hey Diddy, which brand of GSE do you buy and where do you get it?
