My Story - I Really Hope This Works

[getahead]

Hi, I'm just making this thread so I can keep track of my progress and hopefully help others on this forum. I noticed I was balding a few months ago when my hair was starting to look very thin. I've always had a pretty large forehead but now it's more noticeable than ever. I am a diffuse thinner. I hopped on the big 3 a couple of weeks ago (July 11th, 2017) all at the same time. So I'm taking finasteride 1mg everyday, Rogaine 5% Foam 2x/day, and Nizoral 1% shampoo 2-3x/week. I'm pretty sure I experienced a pretty severe shed because for a few days my hair was looking worse than ever before, but with each progressing day I feel it gets better. As far as side effects go, I haven't really experienced any. At first my libido was a little lower than usual but other than that I would say it's A-okay for now.

I'll be posting pictures every three months for as long as I continue treatment. I am currently 20 years old. I would say Norwood 2, maybe 3 from what I am being told.

Just wanted to post an update. I've been taking finasteride everyday and applying minoxidil twice a day, though sometimes I forget a dose or application of one or the other. Also wash my hair with Nizoral whenever I remember. At one point my hair got pretty bad with a shedding. Anyways, here are the new pics:

For those of you who want to see the shed at it's worse I added a picture to this post.

Its been about 3 months since I started so hopefully I can make some gains soon. I'm not sure if I've had good results or if my hair is just longer honestly. I feel like my hair has thickened though but it might be too early to tell.
