Portunfio's Story

[Portunfio]

First off, I would like to say thank you for the wonderful services the people on this site gives me.

I will try to keep everyone updated on my progression as soon as I start my regimen.

Let me start off by saying that I noticed hair falling out when I was 19. I didn't think too much of it at the time. Every now and then I would rub my scalp vigorously to find hair falling on my desk. I thought it was interesting, but wasn't worried about hair loss.

I am a pretty good looking guy with a great personality. I have had a great education and am a successful engineer in a defense related industry. I am now 24 years old with a bright future ahead of me.

The first time hair loss was noticed, was by someone else. That's always embarressing when you're with a group of friends and someone blatently points out your hair thinning. In this case, my friend told me I had a receding hairline. I was 21.

A few months after that I noticed that my hair was becoming less dense. And so as time progressed I started to notice that my hair would be cumbersome to style (I usually styled it with a messy, spiky look to it).

So here I am now. I came back from dinner with a big group of friends. And again it happened, my friend pointed out that my hair is thinning and that I'm losing my hair. HOW EMBARESSING!!!

I felt like utter crap. I admitted to my hair loss in front of everyone saying that I have definitley lost some hair and that I even have a couple of white hairs popping up.

That night I felt so self-concious about my hair that it was hard for me to enjoy myself.

One of my friends told me that I should get a girl right now before I go bald. I felt like sh*t hearing that from someone.

I had extremely thick black hair a few years ago, and now its withering away. I have a receding hairline that can be camoflauged if my hair is long enough, but my forehead still looks a little big.

I feel worthless, and I know looks should not be everything, but my hair is important to me.

I want to go around meeting people and being social without having to worry about raising my eyebrows a little so my forehead shrinks. Or to not put too much gel in my hair that my scalp shows.

This is frustrating. I don't know what to do with myself.

I am starting a regimen soon.

It will be:

Generic Proscar
2% minoxidil
Nizoral 1%

As for now, I hope that will help me maintain my hair, and add more volume to it, if I'm lucky, I hope I can re-grow some of it as well

Thanks HairLossTalk!

I dont know, maybe if you just want to maintain, minoxidil is unnecessary. Go for finasteride and nizoral. I think you'd have a great possibility of maintaining what you've got for a long time with them.

Quick shout out to the central coast. I went to college at Poly.

dude, you got some lousy friends that keep telling you that! what the hell do they expect you to do? you should just see a doctor who will direct you to the best plan of attack. i'm sure he will prescribe to you propecia. it seems to work for a lot of people. some use that & rogaine together. good luck! p.s. anybody who kept telling me that my hair is falling out & get a girl before you go bald would cease to be my friend....
