NW3 to NW1 on Big 3

[wangho75]

just wondering.. I've already had really good success on the big 3 and I've noticed full coverage to NW1 with thin vellus hair covering that whole area. Now my temples have moved forward a bit with new terminals, but I was wondering what the chances of that 2 inches or so of vellus teruning terminal should be.

It is shaped in a perfect NW1 and is a bit longer and thicker than just normal fuzz over the forehead. What are the chances do you think? Im at almost 10 mos. right now on the regimen and I'd imagine the mid to later half of the second year it would come to fruition if it ever does. Im 30 and have never had a NW1, however.

Please, experienced people reply only. No pessimistic debunkers.

Wang - when I first started on the big 3 I went from a NW4 to a 3 in about 8 months. So it's totally possible that at the very least, sounding from how you're responding, that you should be able to hit the NW2 mark w/ your eyes closed.

that's cool, but isn't it usually the way the way it goes, that once you see longer vellus covering an area, it's usually a matter of time that they all turn terminal?

I hear people say, oh Ive been on the big 3 for 6 mos. but all I ever got was light fuzz and they mark it off as final results, but this stuff takes a long time. It only makes sense that the vellus follicles have responded and it's just a matter of cycling. Correct assumption?

wang,
congratulations on your success. I went from NW4 to NW2 just using rogaine in 1999.
Can you post pictures of your progress?

wasn't me. I've had improvement consistently with just mild shedding throughout, but it came back better a month or so later. Ive never gone back to baseline.
