Here's a short recap of current history. I'm now 36 but had gone through NW2 up until a couple of years ago... then went to NW3 and now NW3 with balding spot on crown.
Spring 2004 - tried saw palmetto and procerin... intermittent spotty use of minoxidil since 2001ish. I have been on and off minoxidil since 1997.
Oct-Dec 2005 - Saw Palmetto about 1800mg a day (4-5 capsules). minoxidil as well.
Dec 2005 - finpecia. showed early promise.
(Jan missed I think)
Feb-April 2006 - fincar (cause some "gyno"). not visible sign of balding cessation. minoxidil in March.
May 2006 - switched to Finax...
I swear by jolly that I guess from about 5-6 months of some sort of internal finasteride use, I am now seeing some results. I will post pictures soon.
Coincidence?
Hair Coloring:
Every time I start to see better looking hair or even thickening or regrowth is AFTER I have lightened (light bleach/dye) my hair. It's not an illusion. The first 3-4 days after lightening my hair is shocked and limp, but then it starts to thicken.
MSM:
I sincerely believe that MSM has turbo charged by the rate of growth and thickness. I've been on MSM for about 2 weeks after a hair cut (short enough for long spike/fauhawk) and my hair is already too long to style like that. I bet it's grown 1/2 inch or maybe more on top.
I also feel that Finax has been targeting my hair more and less so on my man boobs (gone) and voice (michael jackson voice). Best results are:
1 - Crown I think has grown in some. less "expansive"
2 - forlock is really thicker.
3 - new small hairs popping up around temples about 1 cm in front of hairline. Some are brown and some are blonde baby hairs.
What I think works for me:
Finax
minoxidil (Once I get back on or with Dr. Lee)
MSM (turbo growth and thickness.. helps color and shine too)
Dying hair about 1-2 times a year. I suspect the dye process acts as a "scalp peel" to help remove old skin and dried up sebum.
