Dude I think your hair still looks fantastic nonetheless. I hope that I can maintain with treatments like you have for that long.

Nice hair :)

Please keep us pdated with your progress, because my story is VERY similiar to yours. I have used finasteride and well maintained my hair since 2006, but I got lazy since about a year and when I realized what was going and started getting serious with treatments again (Big 3) everything seemt become worse. I started shedding like crazy and the itching and tingling is worse then ever and my biggest worry at this point is that the finasteride first time I used finasteride the tingling was gone almost immediately......

Your story really makes me consider dutasteride, but I have read too many stories of people who started losing ground when they started playing around with various dosages and treatments!!

nice , you didnt get puffy nipples from dutasteride ? Do you use liquid minoxidil or foam ?

Ive never seen a shed on minoxidil really. No worse than the usual male pattern baldness fall.

Always only used it on temples. Didnt see point of using it on vertex as i was happy enough to let anti androgens thicken that. Plus btl lasts me ages. One btl probably lasts me 4months lol

I was scared to start dutasteride but was forced to as finasteride wasnt working anymore. Thankfully it seems to be working!

Month on dutasteride now and have to say its going great. The only side i can maybe say is increased libido! No complaints here haha. Morning wood is back in a big way.

Itch is all bit gone and hair feels thicker even after month (maybe imagination). Hairfall all but gone. Dont think theres regrowth but my temples look almost a bit 'darker' and im hoping this is hair to come in. Hair though generally feels thicker. Its early days but im enjoying dutasteride and im hoping its working. It definately
Has imprived things generally. Just to get rid of itch is amazing. It was ruining my life!! Here are some pics.

Kind of off topic but what product do you use to style your hair? It plays down the slight recession in the hairline very well
