Hi, hoping to find some answers to my questions and get a better understanding of hair loss and prevention and this seems like the best place!
Basically I am a Norwood 2 at worst I would say and I am 24 years old, I monitor my hair every 3 months by taking pictures and measurements and in the last year there seems to have been virtually no change.
My dad is 62 and for his age has pretty decent hair, his recession is strange, he has his temporal points and sides very much intact but just the top has lost depth and thickness. And overall I don't really come from a family of male pattern baldness (not that it means I can slack off).
As it stands I take some precautions like I make a Coconut oil, Castor Oil, Emu Oil and Argan Oil mix then I drench my hair in it and massage my scalp quite harshly with a scalp massager, I also use the scalp massager in the shower with conditioner.
Now I wanna get a proper routine that I know will prevent me from loosing my hair but also maintain it's thickness and temporal points and hopefully get it back to how it was when I was 15 (wishful thinking )But you get the idea.
From the research I have done I have come to the conclusion that Dutasteride (0.5mg3x a week?) plus Rogaine (Minoxidil) is the best option to achieve this?
My thought process is this will eliminate a potential future loss and keep it how it is and maybe even improve it a little?
So hoping any guys or gals on here can guide me int he right direction and give me some knowledge also I am in the UK so if anyone knows any places to buy legit stuff it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
