Hi! Im 22 yo, now I have a Norwood 2. Balding since I was 18. All males of my family are bald, except of the uncle (dad's brother). Dad was Norwood 6 in 30 years. Since December 2017, I decided to use Minoxidil Kirkland 1 time per day to check for side effects. I don`t use Finasteride, I'm afraid of side effects, they are more serious than in Minoxidil. After a week of use, I had discomfort in my chest, also pain in my heart, so I stopped using it. Within a month I tried to start using it again, but the pain was returning. But a month after, I tried again and the pain in my chest stopped worrying me and I calmly applied Kirkland for a month. I didn’t hoped for any results, but I didn’t have an intensive hairfall at the beginning, as it should be and the hair fell out at the same pace, little by little, but not ceasing. Then I made a very stupid mistake. I saw the Ukrainian brand Minoxidil, which is called Minomaks, where it was a chic composition, like Lipogane, but much cheaper. I applied it for 5 months, 1 ml per day, nothing absolutely helped. In the last month of the use of this drug even connected dermaroller 1 mm, but it didn`t help. Then I read that the drug is fake, and there is no minoxidil, I decided to give it up, and order back Kirkland. But I was wrong again. Instead of being patient and ordering it from ebay, I ordered it from the Ukrainian online store and got to fake. Of cause, it didn`t help me in anyway, after 3 weeks of use, I gave up using this bottle of kirkland, and decided to order Rogaine from the Ukrainian online store, because I was sure that it cannot be faked, because there is control on the opening. I ordered Rogain, started applying 1 ml twice a day, and was happy, because after a week of use, the hair stopped falling out. But this joy lasted a week, because then hair began to fall again, and again, this is not intensive hairfall (I never had it while using minoxidil), but baldness continued at the usual pace. In parallel with rogain I used shampoo with ketocanazole 2 times a week. After 2 months of using Rogaine, I had difficulties with finances and I had to wait a week for a new bottle, and accordingly there was a break for a week. The regress only intensified, even though it was with me even during the use of minoxidil! A week later, a bottle arrived and I decided to use Rogaine 2 times a day, in the morning and in the evening, and also in the evening to connect a 1 mm dermaroller. It helped me, for two or three weeks I forgot about baldness, my hair stopped falling, and when I washed my hair I had about 5-10 hairs on my hands. Then there was a stressful situation, I drank a lot of alcohol, and baldness resumed again, my hair fell out at the same pace as I usually did, I didn`t stop using Rogaine. The period of application of Rogaine for me lasted from August to December, three months. And at the end of November, I found out about Morr F 5 with topical finasteride, studied the forum, and saw that it helps many people, which means it will help me, especially I have never used antiandrogens. While I was waiting for a package with Morr F 5, I used Rogaine, which absolutely didn`t help me, even with a dermaroller every evening. And from December 20 to the present day, I use a 1 mm dermaroller + Morr f 5 every evening. I wash my head by shampoo with ketocanazole 2 times a week. Doesn`t help at all. My hair is thinning, no result, no success. The only plus is that when I wasg my head, only 5-10 hairs remain on my hands, although earlier, before Minoxidil even started to help where it was 20-30. I do not know what to do, what to use, I very disappointed, I spent a lot of money in empty, and didn`t see any progress. I really need your advice.
Nothing Helps! Disappointed And Depressed, Don`t Know What To Do.

You're not balding weirdo.lol Do you think everyone's hair is suppose to be as solid as a Lego set of hair? It will reveal scalp with strong light; period. You naturally lose density with age.
