New To This Hair Loss Thing Looking For Advice

[Ahmed Elmasri]

Hello everyone, about 3 years ago my hair started thinning and for the longest time I just neglected it, I thought i could live with it and as it got thinner and thinner I got more and more self-conscious about it. I'm 30 now and I'm constantly wearing a hat to cover it up. About 3 days ago I found this forum and was hoping if someone could give me some advice. I had a decent head of hair, it was so thick my barber bought a special set of clippers that they use for sheep to shave my hair.

I've uploaded some pictures of what my hair looks like hopefully someone who has/is going through what I am currently going through will give me some advice or a regimen that worked for them.

I apologize. Didn't meant to hurt his feelings. I guess it's just the shape of the head and glasses. But yeah he needs to jump on Big 3.

Finasteride to prevent further hair loss. You need prescription from doctor or you can buy it on black market. Minoxidil to recover what you lost. And Nizoral shampoo 1-2%. For 2% Nizoral shampoo you also need prescription unless you live in Canada. Also get Biotin 10,000.

yes, but I suggest for you to shave that off bro. Shave it off, use minoxidil and finasteride and you might see good results.

I think you were losing your hair for a lot longer than 3 years. In your case I don't think minoxidil will help on its own.. You will need to add in finasteride.

I pinpointed the exact day I started going bald March 14 2015

You need to lose 50% of your density before balding becomes noticable . I think you've been losing for at least 6 years.

 

[Ahmed Elmasri]

Will kirlands minoxidil work.
Will it work on the front of my head

 

[Alphalete]

It doesn't matter for how long you've lost your hair man. What matters is what you do about it now. Past is irrelevant. Just hop on meds and wish for the best. Finasteride is necessary in your case, you don't need to lose out on more time

No one knows for sure how well you will respond to minoxidil/finasteride. But yes, it works in the majority of people and hopefully it'll work for you aswell
