I will be updating this post with photos later this week to show my thinning hair pattern.
I am 32 years old. I developed thinning hair when i was 25 years old, and began using Propecia on the advice on my hair stylist. Propecia worked great for about 4 years, until I was around 29. I experienced zero side effects and my hair noticeably thickened on it. Then my hair began thinning out again.
I introduced Dr. Lee's 5% minoxidil solution into my rotation and I again had an excellent response to the medication. At the same time, I introduced Nizoral 1% shampoo. After about 6 months, my hair had thickened by an extreme amount. The positive effects lasted about 3 years.
Unfortunately, now my genetic predisposition to balding/thinning has begun to overtake the medication. I anticipate in another year or so I will start having serious problems with the way I style my hair, and in another 2 years I will need to shave my head.
I'm hopeful that the myriad of new therapies/drugs that have been discussed will yield a new growth stimulant or cure sometime in the next few years. At the very least, I'm hoping that bimatoprost/latanaprost gives us all a new growth stimulant to delay the inevitable for a few more years. I'd much rather go bald at 40 when I'm out of the dating game than as a single 30 year old guy.
That's my story, I hope it didn't bore anyone. I will update this post with pictures later this week.
