Hi everyone! I've been a long time lurker, I've read a lot of very useful information on these forums. So a big thank you to all forum members
Long story short; my balding process began when I was about 18 years old with typical male pattern baldness frontal thinning and declining hairline. For a long time I refused to "face the facts" and I didn't honestly think that I would ever go completely bald (yeah, right :shakehead: ). I did use Rogaine 5% twice a day for a while when I was around 24 and at first it DID help with my hairline but I got sloppy with sticking to the regimen and my hairloss got more aggressive and so I began experiencing massive shedding. As a final effort I got a subscription for Propecia but I didn't take it for more than a few months due to it being so expensive and me imagining and being afraid of all kinds of side effects of finasteride.
So back in 2007 I decided to completely stop with all treatment and just embrace my balding head. The balding process quickly got so bad that I had to start buzzing my hair down to just a few mm's. Basically I haven't had any hairs longer than 1cm since 2008.
But now in october 2011 I have decided to try fighting the balding process one last time and this time I'm hitting it with everything I've got. Money isn't anymore an issue like it was before and nowadays you can get a lot of the drugs and supplements a lot cheaper than you could back in 2005 (at least here where I live). Excessive sebum/oily scalp has always been one of my major problems and I've now decided to wash my hair twice a day.
So my regimen since 10.10.2011 is:
Rogaine Foam 5% in the morning (after washing my scalp)
0.625mg Finasteride (5mg pill cut in 8 pieces, trying to avoid sexual side effects)
Priorin twice a day (hair supplement, probably useless)
2.5mg Biotin daily
Rogaine 5% in the evening (mixed with some Finasteride, just in case)
Nizoral 2% shampoo every day
Nizoral 2% topical cream (I apply it just before I go to bed)
Power Grow Laser Comb daily for 15 mins (yeah I know, most likely useless)
I am also planning on starting needling and taking 3000mg of MSM daily. Any suggestions and improvements to my regimen are welcome
