Hey guys, 33 year old male
Been on minoxidil for 2 years with a clinic in London. They have shown me pictures every 3 months to compare and there has been improvement just I feel for 2 years it's not enough or amazing from before and after.
Anyways my current regime is Minoxidil 5% every morning. Minoxidil cream 12.5% every night targeting the templates and crown. I shampoo everyday with this (For last 2 months) - https://www.amazon.co.uk/ArtNatural...coding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=ZJD1EC0WAA2A6GBKBFJM
My problem is - my temples as you can see. If you see white build up there, that is when the Minoxidil dries it leaves behind these dry flakes.
I feel only recently now I can see my hairline thinning too. (This is a new thing maybe just noticed in last month)
My hair is really hard to manage, just to style and manage it especially after the gym which I do 5 days a week. My hair in naturally thick and wavy, so recently whatever haircut I get it's just hard to manage, and I'm always conscious about my temples showing so I'm always trying to cover it but its hard.
Now and again I use Avocado Oil on my hair (Again recently) then I wash it out and blowdry, only then my hair kind of settles. I use hair thickening powders sometimes and they also help to keep it in place.
Note: I tried Finastride for a week and I didn't feel comfortable with it so I took it out and didn't use it again.
I've tried PRP twice, again not amazing results I was promised from it by the clinic I used and it's expensive.
What can I do at this position of mine? My confidence is so low, it takes me 30 mins to sort out my hair before I walk out of door then I am ok but I hate feeling like I have to do that, then always being conscious of the wind when you go outside.
Any help is appreciated
I have a clinic I'm a client of for minoxidil, I told them I am concerned about my hairline but they say it's nothing to worry about and they can only take pictures once every 3 months because if they do it now it won't show so much difference of what is really happening.
