Been lurking here for about a year when I first stumbled upon the site. It’s been very helpful getting honest opinions on different strategies, as the net is full of site just wanting to push whatever product they are selling.
I’ve always has fine hair with a higher hairline but I noticed some shedding while I lived in Japan. The pillow was covered with it in the morning but I chalked it up to climate change or what not. After all I was 25 at the time (31 now) and thought that was too young to start losing ones hair. After being back for a while I really noticed it thinning, especially in photographs. Yikes what to do? Maybe I waited a bit too long just to see if things would get better on it’s own. Finally, I got over any shame and denial and started Minoxidil for about a year. I think it slowed and loss but didn’t help with regrowth.
Have a few uncles on my mom’s side that have thinned out but not bald, just really thin. It looks like hell so if I can avoid that well I have to try.
Through people’s posts and advice here and further research on the net I decided to try Proscar. Which brings me here today, joining so hopefully whatever I learn and works or doesn’t work I can pass on as others have helped me out. Just started Procrar at the beginning of November (no results yet as to be expected but also no negative side effects which is positive) and will continue with Minoxodil.
As someone advice and I took plenty of photos. Kind of depressed with the look with that bright light maybe making it look worse. Lucky I’m so tall so not many people get that view from the top. So from here we’ll just have to see the results.
A few questions:
Now should I take photos monthly or weekly, bi-weekly?
Should I stick with my regiment to wait and see for results for a certain time before adding to it?
I’d just be adding some different vitamins and herbal supplements once I figure out which ones to take.
Again thanks for all your posts.
