Hey guys,
I've been lurking around this forum for a few weeks now and finally decided to start an account.
I just turned 23 years old and it seems as if in just a few weeks my hair went from THICK to diffused and thinning.
I am losing around 60 hairs+ in the shower everyday, my hairline is still intact but I can now see through it and need to use toppik everyday to feel comfortable, it looks like the hair is diffusing across the entire front going about 1/4 back into my scalp.
These past few weeks have been so hard for me. I feel like I'm just waiting for matters to get WAY worse. I just recieved Zinc sulfate, and Pyridoxal 5 Phosphate needed to mix together some Zix, which i've heard could possibly slow down the loss a little bit and will begin using twice a day (anyone who has personal experience with Zix please chime in). I also started using Nizoral, and while it feels like it "cleans" my scalp of all of the sebum etc. idk if its actually helping my loss, or even making it worse.
My main question is since i'm going through my first real shed (most of the hairs falling out have decent density, though some are miniaturized) does this mean that if I start some sort of treatment I will have a fighting chance for that hair to grow back in it's natural pattern ~2-3 months from now at its original thickness?
Basically, If I catch this sh*t early and hop on treatment, could I grow back my hairline as if it we're just a natural shed? The treatment I have in mind is generic finasteride .5mg/day or proscar split into .625mg
