Hey guys
I've been visiting alot as guest, so i decided to post my own story..
as i have decided to do something about my hairloss and record my progress every week.
My hairloss started back when i was like 16.. ( now i am 21 ) I would wake up in the morning and my pillow would be full of hair.. At the time i was young,and had plenty so i didnt worry about it alot.. I would just wake up in the morning and pick up all the hair off my pillow and throw them in the bin, so my parents would notice. Years passed and my hairloss continued slowly.. but each year becoming more noticeable.. I did not want to accept the fact that i was affected by hairloss.. There were times when my parents would ask me if i was losing hair cause it looked thinner.. so i would just tell them "no what are you talking about" and would immedietly change the subject. I was in such a denial and just would not accept it.. i didnt want to talk about it with anyone, not even my parents...
It destroyed my life, i would get so depressed, would not style my hair the way i wanted, cause then my scalp would show, would not go to the beach or swimming pools, or if i did, i would not get my head wet (which looked so wierd.. everyone diving and playing in the water.. and me trying to keep the water away from my hair, so my hairloss would not show)
Anyway i wont get into all my bad experiences, but i think it has dramaticaly affected my life.. its like being crippled in a way.. you tell yourself, you cant do this, you cant do that, all because you are losing hair..
and really i dont think anyone appreciates his hair, until he starts losing it..
So all these years ive been losing hair and havent done anything about it,, which i regret. I have now accepted the fact that im going bald soon if i dont do anything about it, and even talk about it with my parents.
Anyway i have read about alot of stuff on here so i decided to start of with these.. I will take pics every week and record my progress..
i will post the pics after 4 weeks
Multivitamins- Once a day
Nizoral 2% Shampoo- Twice a week
Spectral DNC minoxidil 5% - Morning and Night
I have also orded some MSM capsules (take twice a day)
Kirkland Minoxidil to replace the spectral application at night.
This is because kirkland is much cheaper, and i wont have to worry about how my hair looks after i apply the minoxidil.. ( i like the way spectral leaves them in the morning btw)
I am also considering to order Proscar
i am a bit worried about side effects but i guess i wont know unless i try it.
Wish me gl with these.. Does any1 have anything to comment about my regiment?
Any help or suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks

UPDATE--- 3 MONTHS
=============================================
Hey again guys.. just to give a small update at the 3month mark.
have been using minoxidil everyday
Morning- Spectral DNC
Night- Kirkland + ( 3 sprays of spectral on front hairline and temples)
I must say i have noticed a lot of new growth!
especially on the temples..
my hair is quite long now.. and you can see all the shorter hairs coming out which is very encouraging for me.
I will continue using minoxidil this way and i am sure i will have great results.
==================================
15th January
===================================
I finally started taking 1/4 of proscar
Results?
Well my hairloss completely stopped on the 5th day and not a single hair has been falling out up to now!
I amazed at these fast results, but only time will show if i start shedding again. Up to now its has been great though with 0 sides..
I have pics that i will be uploading soon!
Big thank you to everyone on these forums for your great support and information.
