Hi everyone
I am 20 y/o turning 21 in a few months and have diffuse thinning on the entire top of my head. I started balding/thinning at around 17 though it just got relatively noticeable this past year. It is only noticeable on my hair line and crown because of the way my hair lays, though it is thinning in equal amounts all over. I used minoxidil foam about a year and a half ago for a few months and then stopped because I was not seeing any changes (i know, pretty stupid), but started using it again (5%) 6 months ago just at nighttime and then showering in the morning. At first I noticed that I was not shedding any hair, and thought i could maintain my current state by just using minoxidil once a day. Then at the 4/5 month mark I began to shed and still continue to shed at the seven month mark. My hair has only gotten worse since I started using minoxidil. I began to use nizoral every other day about 1-2 months ago and just started taking 1 mg finasteride. I just wanted to get some advice on what to do in my situation from some experienced guys. Any things I should change? When should i start to see results? Will i see results or does the fact that my hair has gotten worse from minoxidil mean it is not for me? Any input or replies will really be appreciated. Thanks.
