Yes please that would be cool

But your just on minoxidil - I already did that for 2 years, as you can see in the Belgravia pics

Now I am on minoxidil and also finastride to try to power this up

You're most likely experiencing a shed. I've read that you should wait atleast 6 months and recess after that. finasteride+minoxidil is very affective and I recommend for you to think about other things even though it's pretty hard...

Then why did it work for me?
By the way, if you wanna wh*** out for likes I suggest using Instagram :)
Again, minoxidil doesn't work as well on temple area as it works on crown for example. This is a fact. You're a special snowflake on whom it worked i guess, probably becouse you also took finasteride.
And yes I don't mind the dislikes but I just can't see how you could disagree with facts.

Ok. I'm gonna go ahead and remove the dislikes. But 1st of all I'm not on minoxidil, and secondly if you've ever browsed success stories u can clearly see that it works on others. whatever dude

u are taking these like/dislikes way too serious anyway. disliking 6 of my comments lol. ty god I don't take this forum as serious as u do

Hey guys so I posted on Dec 5th - Jan 16th now (I had already been using Finastride for 3 weeks before Dec 5th) so roughly since No 20th I have been on Finastride

Nearly 2 months

I know it's not the 3 everyone says but my hair is still not improving. I do feel though the sheeding that freaked me out in first 3 weeks has slowed down but overall my hair isn't really any different.

I took this just today, on purpose I've pulled my hair back to expose my temples. My hairline just like my first point got worse since Finastride. I've spoke to the Dr who recommended me to go on Finastride as well as the results it has got some people on this forum and everyone is saying the same that if you did feel like it's got worse or shedding that's a good sign as in something is happening and apparently at 3 months he wants to do a close up of my hair to see if he can see baby hairs growing in a thicker format.

Can anyone tell anyting from this compared to the first pic I posted on Nov 20th?

Hey once again... you might just be one that wont notice any thickening, but just maintaining... I still think it is early to come to conclusion. Nizoral might be beneficial to you aswell btw.

Oh man, I Wasn't hoping for that reply :(

I hope it's just too early and then 3 months in something starts to show - My Dr. said in 3 months he wants to do the microscopic lens on my scalp to see if he see's anything but he said at this stage no it's not worth it as there won't be much to see or any signs

Nizoral yes I got it. I use it approx 2x a week like mid day type of time

Stop being so impatient. Your hair has to go through cycles before it starts improving. Did you really expect thickening and regrowth in under 2 months?

Just be patient man. For the sake of this forum :D. Someone else posted a few weeks ago on this forum stating that patience is the most important part of combating hairloss... Just wait :)

Hey guys, yes I know to be patient but I just want to keep a log and to know I'm going in the right way as of course I'm just going by this forum and one hair specialist

This is my progress from the start to 2 months now on Finastride.

As you can see it's really hard for me to see this in the mirror, it feels bad. I always have to wait my hair down and I'm using now also hair fibres to cover it when I go out incase of wind etc

Any hope for me guys?

I use Minoxidil solution twice a day
2 months in on 1mg Finastride

Nizoral I use twice a week - and then the other week I use regenepure shampoo

You're not even shedding though. Comparing the first pic to your latest one it looks about the same imo

You can try dermarolling and see how that goes for you

I tried that before, I can make it more consistent. Should I do it in the targeted area? I'm scared to dermaroll incase i damange existing hairs

This is really hard man to stay patient 2 months in, and it's worse and I don't see any regrowth yet

Please bro, just be patient. 2 months is early. Most people don't see gains til 6+ months. It might just be the case for you. Find a hobby, do something else, don't try to focus on this too much. With time it'll get better. It certainly hasn't gotten worse, that's for sure.

Check this out for more info on how to dermaroll safely.

Thanks alot, do you think it'll take longer for me? If I was one of the good reactors then by now I would have seen something? We have some of those guys on this forum that get at 3 months really good results, if I was one of those then by now something would have showed up right?
