Heres my plan for the Summer.

[decro435]

Okay well my mother's grandad is the highest possible Norwood. He has lost nearly all his hair including it on his sides and has sparse hair on the lower back of his head. I saw a picture of him from when he was 25 and he was at least a Norwood 6. Well I've inherited his genes and also have inherited my fathers big head and pale skin. Basically it's as bad as it can get for me. Right now I'm losing hair all over my head including the sides. I have the most aggressive hair loss probably on this forum. Nobody understands and I'm just going to have to tackle it on my own which is extremely hard when you are still in school.

I'm planning on shaving my head before the summer and following this regimen.

Nizoral 2% cream - 10 mins in the morning every day or every second day depending.
Xandrox 6% - Plus (When it's availible) - Nightly.
spironolactone 2% Cream -Thin film nightly application covering most of the head after Xandrox.
Emu oil(lotion) - Every third day all over head.
Silica/MSM/Zinc/Vit C/Vit B6/ Omega 3/6/9
Tea tree oil Conditioner - 7 mins Daily.
Copper peptide shampoo - 5 mins(luke warm water) Daily.

If this doesn't work I don't know what to do , honestly I can't go Bald. I've got it in my head that it just can't happen or else I'll be ultimately depressed and worthless for the rest of my life. I know this isn't true but I will be depressed forever. Wish me luck , it'll begin about June.

I hear you decro, I believe I've also inherited my hair loss from the maternal line and this appears to be the most aggressive form. Your regimen is interesting but it also seems very time-consuming, messy, and will likely be very difficult to hold on to.

I would suggest the following:

Nizoral 2% Shampoo--no more than 3x per week.
Minoxidil in any form (liquid or foam)--twice per day.
And Finasteride--twice per day as well I think, but check with your doctor and do some SERIOUS research and contemplation before taking this. You don't want to end up permanently sterile.

As for the other things you mentioned, you can try them, but none of them are FDA approved so I wouldn't invest too much hope in them. The only reason I include Nizoral above is that it will improve the cosmetic thickness of your hair, even if it doesn't improve follicle count.

Good luck on your regimen. And if it doesn't work, just remember--no one can define you but yourself.

finasteride or dutasteride is by far the biggest weapon in the arsenal without it you might as well not bother, those topicals are just small arms in comparison and for someone with the worst m.p.b genes it'd be like trying to hold back the sea.

True.

There is finasteride in the promox. 1mg in each application. THis is systemicaly absorbed because I got finasteride side effects from Xandrox. I have been on oral finasteride already and suffered sexual side effects. With the topical they are less. No choice.
