Gigz89's - Hair started thinning at 17. This is my hair now 5 years later [UPDATE]
Click here for the June 2013 update
Hi, I posted on this forum a long time ago, but since I have pictures this time around, I wanted to start another thread. My hair started to thin when I was 17 and within a span of a couple of months, I had no choice but to trim it down to avoid the horrible "diffused thinning" look.
Here's my regimen:
-Kirkland Minoxidil for about 5 years (on and off; not consistent)
-Antiandrogens for 18 months (15 on finasteride and 3 on duta)
-Miconazole Nitrate for 8 months (it really filled in my scalp by making non-terminal thin hair follicles grow)
-Just started Folligen (I'm cycling mico and follig. 4 and 3 days respectively) and LaserMax haircomb (4x/week)
These pictures were taken 1 day after getting my hair trimmed down to 1.5":

As you can tell, I have been able to maintain most of my hairline, though a lot of the hair follicles on my top and crown have thinned out. What do you think?
