My hair losS (pics)

[Bll3r]

Hello everyone, heres some quick background information. Im 19 right now and been loosing my hair for about 4 years now. My hair loss is very slow since ive been loosing it for so many years now. I remember back in freshman year of high school stressing about this. But now its to the point i have to do something about it. I ordered some proscar from inhousepharmacy.com on the 13th but it has yet to come in . . . here's the reply i got from them

Im just really hoping it comes in today. I think proscar will stop my hair loss since its been going pretty slow, but the point is . . . its going. Here are some pictures, please let me know what you think, its bene driving me nuts, thanks in advance.

you have a full head of hair.

mine diminished over 6 months.. it used to look as good as your.s

 

[Bll3r]

thanks for replying so fast. . Thats why i think proscar will work for me, cause its been so long but it is deffently thinning. The last picture looks really bad because of the light, but there is still hair there, just really thin. If this order doesnt come in by friday, im just gonna go and get a perscription for it. I wanna stop it before its to late. I figure if proscar is only good for 5 years, hopefully by then something else will be out.

Do you have any head-on pictures to judge your hairline by? I'm just wondering what it looks like from the front/above, because it looks oddly familiar to mine except somehow on you it looks alot better.

[jeffsss]

yea.. someting better will come along.

hair multiplication will probabaly be here in like 10 years or so.. then everyones worries will be gone..

now that i take a closer look.. our hair is pretty similar.. you might have abit more coverage.

propecia should work for you.. take a multivitimin if you arnt using one alrday.

Uh no. Do some research into hair transplant and HM before you make such comments bud. HM will not be the cure or answer for male pattern baldness. A hair transplant with HM or not will never restore a full head of hair... Only the illusion of hair...

Anyhow, take a look over at HLH in the Open hair transplant forum and you'll get all the answers you seek (reality sucks be warned).

I think your hair looks good overall *but* you're definitely thinning a bit up front... Which is normal for men and may stop at a NW2 (which is considered a "mature hairline"). However, it may not stop and there is no way of knowing until it happens... So, Finasteride, IHO, is a good idea if you're concerned. Once you start to lose significant hair you'll never be able to fully reverse it... It's always best to prevent it from starting.

To my understanding, hair multiplication can restore a full head of hair.

Nope. Best thing to do for more info is check out HLH's hair transplant forum and speak with Thefittest.

Remember, there is a BIG difference between what we would like HM to be and what it actually is. HM is not hair cloning and does not yeild an unlimited supply of donar hair... Plus, there are physical limitations to what current hair transplant can and cannot do as well as financial considerations. But again, the best thing to do is talk with the guys who live and breath that stuff.


The bottom line is, there isnt going to be a cure for male pattern baldness in our lifetimes. I'm not being pessimistic here, just realistic. Meds can halt or slow things down and hair transplant can give back the illusion of hair for those with extensive baldness... But there isnt going to be anything out anytime soon that is going to give back a guy like Jeff his teenage hair. Why do you think I'm on the meds I am? Because I know my best hope for a good head of hair is to keep what you have... Once it is gone, its gone... It will NEVER be the same as it was. To hold onto that hope is futile and pointless.

 

[Wezz]

at least have some faith and hope .. you cannot say that there will be no cure, because you arent millenium nostradamus alright ? so i suggest you to take other positive considerations and stop with negative thinking, if you think like this, even if there will be a cure the negativity will never get you to have full head of hair.

 

[Bll3r]

Damn . . i ordered proscar from inhousepharmacy.com and it looks like i have no hope of getting this order :-( . . . . has any experanced this long of a wait when ordered meds online?? they sent me a confirmation on the 13th, and its now the 1st. . . this really sucks

man, im glad you're here to set the record straight once and for all. My regrowth must be an illusion I figure.

Email them, they do say if its been over a certain amount of days something like over 20 days or something. I ordered on the 21st and got my order on the 26th. They are normally pretty quick so I would contact them.

 

[Bll3r]

Ok well i didnt recieve my order so i e-mailed them asking to ship to another address. I just moved out to cali 3 weeks ago so i got some people in boston who are willing to overnight it to me if they get it there. But my question is i kinda wanna put the stop to this hair loss sh*t already and since im probally gonna have to wait another 2 weeks I was wondering if it was a good idea to buy a bottle of rogaine and just use that untill i get my proscar in?? Will that hault the hairloss untill i get my meds?? thanks for anyone who replies in advance!! (im thinking of picking up a bottle for tomorrow)

 

[Aplunk1]

No, you cannot start Rogaine and then quit, then start Propecia.

Rogaine causes sheds, so when you first start treatment, you'll notice an increase in hairloss.

There's no way you can start reversing your male-pattern baldness until you get your Propecia order in.

You can, however, try supplementing your meals with MSM-- which will help speed up hair growth and increase vitality.

Try it out...

But once you start Rogaine, you must always continue Rogaine. Forever. That's the bargain you make with it.

HM does yield unlimited supply. Once a donor section has been extracted the hair cells can be multiplied over and over in cultures. Intercytex released information on how the crap works very recently (i check for updated almost daily). Basically you go in to get some hair removed, they grow the stuff, you come back in a few weeks, they inject you and you grow more hair. Now over time the hair you had before the HM will fall out so you'll have to go back for top ups.

The goal is 2010 or late 2009 if things go smoothly. HM is actually quite affordable but Bosley wants to first market HM as an addition to a hair transplant. This way they will pull in more customers and rape your wallet. Greedy asshats....

 

[Aplunk1]

True...

I hate Bosley... Because they are planning on raping the HM technology.

If I see a guy who gets a Bosley transplant, I'll punch him in the face. Then, when he's crying, I'll kick him while he's down, and say, "Hey, you're giving money to sick, sick f*****g people. Plus, your hair is going to look like sh*t now."

Stupid Bosley.

 

[nervx]

^

I'll still pay the greedy bastards the full price of the hair transplant but i'll see if i can get them to skip the hair transplant and go straight to HM. That way they still make their money and they don't have to hack me up... i'm diffuse anyway so i just want some density back.

 

[Bll3r]

ok i doubt my order is comming in . . . . does insurance usually cover dermitoligist visits?? If it does how much will it cost me out of the pocket (im 19 and never had to make my own appts)
