How does it look when you begin to bald at the crown?

[redskins1]

I feel as though my crown is beginning to bald, but I'm not really sure as I've never really paid attention to it before.

It becomes more see through, what do you think it would look like?

Looks like this. My crown was thin all the way to the front of my hairline.

Hey bald eagle what's your regimen that got you that regrowth over the year?

Hey bald eagle what's your regimen that got you that regrowth over the year?

It was a pretty simple regime.

Regime:
- Rogaine foam in the morning
- 2ml Kirkland 5% minoxidil liquid at night
- roughly 0.8mg of finasteride before bed (5mg proscar cut into sixths)

My thinning looks similar to yours in the first pic- I first noticed 2 years ago and hopped on minoxidil right away- I was always on the fence with finasteride. I think I'm going to pull the trigger and hop on finasteride this week as im flat out sick of losing hair not to mention my older brother has crazy thick hair. Do you have a link to a thread where you have progress pics? Also any sides or suggestions for somebody starting on finasteride? I was thinking starting at .5 mg/day

Here's my thread from 2013 but never updated it though.

The only difference now is that I use 0.5mg finasteride everyday and 2ml minoxidil at night (1ml for the front and 1ml for the back) to cover my entire scalp.

I would start finasteride at .5mg every other day to see how your body reacts. I noticed a big shed when first starting finasteride for the first couple weeks (similar to the shed when starting minoxidil). But after several months the hair that grew back was thicker. I also started exercising more regularly (cardio and weights).

In 2014 I didn't follow the regime as closely as I did in 2012-2013, but I was able to maintain what I had regrown.

Nice thanks- were you able to get your hair back to how it was before it started thinning? I'm looking at pics of my hair from 1 1/2- 2 years ago before thinning started and I would do anything to get it back.

Actually my hairline never filled in completely. But with a good hairstyle I'm able to cover my receding temples to the point where it's not noticeable. As for the hair on my crown, yes it did grow back much thicker and right now I'm just maintaining.
