Hi everyone,
I have been lurking around here for a while and finally decided to create an account.
I'm a 31 year old dude and has had a love/hate relationship with my hair since I was 17. I started going grey at 17. It took me a while to make peace with it. Luckily, in my case, The salt 'n pepper actually looks rather cool and everyone around me likes it.
Then, a few years ago my hair started thinning. It started at my hairline and now on top of my head. It never really bothered me ... until now for some reason. Now I hate my hair.
After months of reading and stalking ya'll on here, i finally got a regime together. For the past couple of days I have been doing/taking the following.
5% Minoxidil twice a day
Dermarolling one a week (1mm)
Supplements that include: Saw Palmetto, Pygeum, Zinc, Biotin, Nettle, Grapeseed & Pumpkinseed extracts as well as a multivitamin.
Ketoconazole shampoo twice a week.
Nioxin shampoo (I dont think there is any benefit, but i like the shampoo and haven't found anything better locally)
finasteride is also an option - Im just waiting for my GP to return from an oversees trip.
Holding thumbs for some kind of progress in the next few months.
Cheers and take care
