i hate light!!!!!!!!

[hairforce9]

Ive been on rogaine liquid for 3 months now and i just started foam 2 days ago... anyways throughout the 3 months ive avoided looking at my scalp under bright light so i dont get depressed when i see my scalp. My hair feels thicker, i dont shed as much as i use too and the hairs i do shed are very thin. Anyways i decided yesterday to look at my head under light to see if i gained progress (is scalp exposed or not). When my hair was dry you could see my scalp just a little (im thinning down the middle but more prominent just behind my hairline). I was happy with the results because before i remember seeing alot more sclap and keep in mind my hair is only 2-2.5 in long. I then applied rogiane on my head (foam in the front and liquid in the back) and looked at my sclap under light again... OMG big freakin mistake, it looked horrible! my scalp was like the moon reflecting light from the sun. Now im left wondering if rogaine is doing anything at all.
I need encouragment

Rogaine makes your hair look shitty, don't worry. If it looks ok dry then it's ok.

hair takes time to grow. Even healthy hair.

Wait 6-12 months before evaluating. I know its hard, but thats the facts. Some ppl do respond abnormally quick though...but they are the exception.

I recomend you add propecia. You need that more than minoxidil.

i have a derm appointment tomorrow and im gonna ask if i should add propecia. i wanna make sure i have male pattern baldness before adding propecia. also after starting rogaine my hair stopped sheding thick terminal hairs and if hairs related to male pattern baldness shed due to dht and rogaine dosn't block dht does this mean i dont have male pattern baldness. also around starting rogaine 3 months ago stress levels decreased drastically (im not saying rogaine reduced my stress im saying i learned to handled it better) because last year i had a personal problem that negatively affected me and thats when i started shedding heavily.
