I am 22 years old and I have been losing my hair since I was 18. It has been slow, and I am only losing from the front (creating a V). It is only starting to get noticeable now. I would say im headed towards the 1st stage on the Norwood scale. I am thinking of taking Proscar (cut up in to 5 pieces), 5% minoxidil, and Nizoral shampoo 3 x a week. Do you guys think this is a wise move, is it overdoing it, or would you guys do recommend something else?
Help!! Need advice!

if you think your thinning then just get on Proscar and Nizoral.
Remember like a lot of us your young, save the minoxidil for later down the battle- you don't want to exhaust all your options and be stuck in a few years.

hellohello makes a good point but then in a few years there will undoubtedly be better treatments on the market,and there are always stronger minoxidil solutions available.....im 25 and on the big 3,i started them all at the same time so in my opinion id say its not overkill......but then maybe give it a year without minoxidil then add it if you wish........good luck :hairy:

I wouldn't rely too much on new drugs coming out that are going to much more effective than what we already have.
Also remember that minoxidil in solutions about 5% have not shown to be much to any more effective than 5% as its not the amount of minoxidil in the solution, but how it penetrates that can be a problem with the higher concentrations.
