Hello
I've been reading this forum for a while now (usually during hair loss freak outs) and its a great place.
My story:
I noticed my hairline starting to receed about 10 years ago, panicked about it but was confused about the massive amounts of contradictory information I found online and decided it was hopeless. Also I ended up in a long term relationship and pretty much chilled out and accepted it. My dad is in his early 60s now and is a NH 5 and I'm following in his footsteps and receeding slowly but surely from the front.
Lately I'm unexpectedly single and self conscious (nope doesn't go away when you hit 30 like I thought) and while I've possibly left it too late and know I won't regrow what I've lost, I want to try and hold on to what I've got for as long as I can. Nothing to lose, except cash...
Firstly, I know I'm really lucky in that my male pattern baldness is slow and most people don't notice it unless they are looking for it and just think I have a widows peak (which I always did have even as a kid) and barbers tell me I have thick hair.
But the last year its definately starting to thin in the middle (vertex?), most noticible when my hair is wet or I use gel. Also have the receeding faster on the right side thing going on.
I can't decide if I'm thinning on the crown or not as I have a double crown and the hair there has always been weird because of that.
Regimen:
I have an appointment at Boots (UK pharmacy) on Friday to see if I can get on their hair retention programme, which I understand is pretty much propecia. Fingers crossed I don't get any sides. I'm also going to start Nizoral 3 times a week.
Below are some pics, sorry my webcam is shite, need to get a decent camera if I'm gonna be able to measure any changes. Will try and keep this updated with my progress.
If anyone has any tips on where to get cheaper finasteride (Proscar?) from in the UK without a prescription that would be top
Cheers All
