I have been using rogain for 2.5 months and I have responded to it really well, I started to shed after just afew days and I am still shedding but I have hundreds of new small hairs on the frontal hairline that were NOT there before. I am amazed actually, I wasn't counting on minoxidil to work. BUT, I can see no new hairs in the crown and I thought that was the esaiest place to treat? I have minor-moderate thinning there (very early nw3) Do the hairs there take longor to grow or is it just because looking at the back of your head is more difficult than your front?

Re: regroth only noticable on the frontal hairline, not crown
why would someone waste their time trolling a hairloss forum?
do you work for McNeil or something? there have been several cases of Rogaine not working as intended on certain people.

Why are you calling him a troll? He has contributed here alot and I assure you he is not. You join this forum and on your 4th post insult a member of this forum, why?
Alot of people do not post pics, myself included. Some of us are not comfortable with our images on the internet.

You can't black out your eyes, or take a photo close up of your temples? C'mon, really?
It's hard to distinguish authentic positive responders and undercover sales people around here. :dunno:

Rogazzle,
My job is to weed out the sales people. We have several methods and tools set into place to ensure that no Reps or sales people post here. Trust me, I ban plenty on a daily basis. This is a consumer only forum and Cassin, myself and the Admin work very hard on a daily basis to make sure the place remains as such.

What are you using for treatments Rogazzle? Where are your pics? Not sure what your angle is here but please do not go around calling members here trolls unless there is a legit reason for doing so. A user that is not posting pictures is not a reason, if that were true that I would be a "troll" by that standard and THAT is damn sure not the case.
If you do see a post from a member that you feel is a "sales pitch" or something else that concerns our attention then please by all means let us know via PM or use the "Report Post" button but please stop about the pictures with blocked out facial features, that is common on any forum.
Also even if you did see someone full face, would you know if they were a Rep or Salesperson just by looking at them?

Being serious about improving hairloss, I've opted to photo and document my progress. If I find success, at least I can prove it.

Awesome pictures and thank you for sharing them. Also I would like to add that you have a great camera as well.
You did though block out your eyes and I know that was a complaint about the other guys photo I believe. I am really not picking on you but quite the opposite. I am not sure how familiar you are with hair loss forums but alot of guys do not post photos (and I believe more should including myself) and the ones that do, block out some facial features just to be sure that friends, family, etc.. do not recognize them and call them out for being on a hair loss forum.
I do really admire you for documenting your results because even if just for only you, you can see the progress you have made. I do have photos of my before and after as well and have used them thoughout the years to monitor hair growth or hair loss to keep track of what products are working and what ones are not.
I do want to welcome you to HairLossTalk.com and only ask that you just take it easy on the guys who may block facial features or do not post pics because there is a reason for it and that is all I was trying to stress. I wish you success with your hair and hope that others see your pictures and it encourages more to post theirs as well. Also check out or Social Site, on that site the guys who do sign up post alot of pics and have photo blogs too.
FYI, check out my first posts on this forum before I was a Mod, I do have pics of my hair posted here and despite my user name (which was a joke when I made it) I was only on generic Minoxidil for 2 years and that is what gave me my best results, Propecia only helped maintain them and to be honest I use generic Proscar (Teva) anyway and not brand Propecia.
Good Luck,

NICE!! The close up ones rock brotha!
I have now started to show some regrowth in the crown, it's not very impressive but it's there. The hairs on my "front" are becomming longer and longer. and btw, I did take before-pictures but I am not going to post them here until I have after-pictures too and I have only been using minoxidil for 2 and a half months so it's much too early. I will post the pictures in 3 months. And I am not a troll.
