Hi guys. Im 22 years old and my first post here. Hoping to get some good info here!. The first time actually noticing a little thinning in my hair was 17 months ago. However, it wasn't that noticeable until September last year and it has been getting worse since. The only history of baldness in my family is my uncle on my father's side and he started balding in his 40's. I thought my hair would revert back to normal since I thought it was stress from school (first year college) but I'm not waiting any longer and taking a chance on that. Did some research, realized I think I am a diffuse thinner, and found this forum.
I have been taking regenpure DR for I think 4-5 months now and not sure if it has slowed down the process or not. I'm now considering using minoxidil 5%, nizoral as well but will stay away from Propecia because of the side effects that I hear about. I know everyone will get different results but will the minoxidil and nizoral be sufficient enough in growing and maintaining my hair? I have been reading that people have maintained their hair with minoxidil. I also read that using minoxidil alone will at one point give in to the DHT but I thought that is what the nizoral is for? I read many mixed opinions and reviews so maybe it will get cleared up here.
As you guys can see in the pics below, the thinning on my hair is not uniform and is inconsistent. I'm thinning more on my left side than the right but the front center of my head is significantly thicker than the rest. Is this common? I wish it was spread out across so if I did shave to a 1 or 0, it would look better. Oh well.
Anyways thats it. Any advice or some education on minoxidil, nizoral or propecia? TIA!
