Hi guys,
Hope no-one particularly minds to me adding to all of this, but seen some of the work on here and was inspired to try it myself to see how things go and work out and to see it in a written form.
Well, I’m male, 25 and have been suffering from losing my hair since around the age of 22. Around that time, I dealt with losing my long-term girlfriend, passing my degree course and then starting to train to be a lawyer full-time while juggling a part-time job. The stress of that complete wiped me out, I was a bit of a zombie at times and started to suffer from anxiety (primarily based on the tiredness and stress looking back now, although at the time I was sent for blood-tests and everything). A few months before this though, I had started to notice a change in my hair but still had enough to pay £25 for haircuts and straighten the damn stuff for nights out on the town (I know...I know).
At points it was relatively slow but noticeable to me but my hair has declined over time, I’ve had brief periods (6-8 months on a couple of occasions) with minodoxil but the hassle of putting it on in the daytime and it making my hair lifeless put me off, although nighttime wasn’t too much of a problem apart from nightsout at weekends. It did seem to do a bit of a decent enough job though. My last go on it ended in April this year as I decided to ‘go brave’, save the money and let nature take its course.
Well, after my wild summer holiday in Greece this year, my hair-loss has increased rapidly in the last few months to the levels you can see in these first few pictures. My haircuts have become shorter and shorter as theres been less for my hairdresser to do and now I can’t leave the house without either nanofibres on my head (which adds to the stress of fearing what it looks like to everyone else and how it looks under certain lights) or a cap (which has its own drawbacks). So I’m treating this a bit like my last-chance saloon, I’ll accept hair-loss in the future but not at the age of 25 so I’m on a course of propecia, prescribed by my doctor which I'm starting today, I have minodoxil which I’m going to apply just once-a-day in the nighttime (solving that problem of how it makes me look) and also will use nizoral shampoo 2-3 times per week when not using l’oreal for men thickening hair shampoo.
I shall give this 3-4 months and see how it goes from there but will report in from time-to-time with thoughts and things. Hopefully you guys will be able to chip in with encouragement and advice and hopefully I can report back with positive news.

Enclosed are a few pictures taken today. Hopefully it'll give you a bit of an idea of where I'm working from.
