I really liked what "20something" did so I took some pictures and posted them as well.

I made a lot post before so if you want more details before giving some much appreciated advice look for that below, title was "shampoo question, shedding question".

1) What kind of regimen or treatment should I be on?
- I have been taking propecia for 3 months, and think I've had some minor shedding for a month or so. Thinking about starting minoxidil 5%, yes or no? Anything else?

2) I want a good shampoo regimen, nizoral irritates my scalp, so a good alternative and a good shampoo or conditioner to get an extra kick?

OK thanks

that was where I was about 6-8 months ago, it has progresslively gotten thinner (crown area)...There are some other threads debating the use of minoxidil (I think it was started by bombscience) and it causing quicker thinning, but that answer can never be known, since you either do it or dont and then the grass is greener on the other side (ie 'If I hadnt started' or 'If I just started this when I first noticed')

Like i answered in your other post, you probably want toget on a DHT inhibitor, a couple vitamis (biotin, l'arginnine)..and then your call on minoxidil. You dont look bad at all, I wish I were back to that point. The last picture just looks like you have a swirl.

As for shampoo, I do nizoral-T/gel-sassoon vitamin-nizoral-T/gel-nizoral (you get the pattern)

I know how it feels man, the slap of reality and mortality....
