Well, my story is, I'm a solid 2 on the Norwood scale (terrified of an encroaching 2V or even 3!) and I'm only 19 years old. This is weird because my father is 58 and has all his hair, and my 23 year old brother still has a full head himself..... Anyway, I noticed my hair start to fall out when I was 17, and it has been pretty steady ever since.
I just recently added Generic Minoxidil 5% and Folligen Cream to my daily regimen, hoping it will give me the kickstart I need to save my hair, since everything else I take hasn't really done very much for me. I read in the pamphlet that came with my Minoxidil bottle that it should *not* be used for Frontal/Temporal hair loss! This is a major downer because it is primarily in that area of my head that my hair really looks flimsy. I thought of adding Propecia (generic, even though it's still damn expensive and I'm on a student budget) but the fact that it, too, states that it will only work on the vertex of the scalp is very discouraging. Have any of you fellows had much success with hair regrowth in the front and temples? Please let me know any kind of treatment that I can add that would be effective to that end!
