Hi, i've been on and off this forum since i was 20 years old. Now I'm 26.
I was using dutasteride for 4 years, until i decided that I didn't want to use the meds anymore, I tried to live more spiritually and I quit minoxidil and duta. I had an okay head of hair, but it still wasn't enough, I thought that since I didn't have a youthful density, I might as well opt for the more skinhead look. I was wrong.
The irony is that I shaved my head, and I find that I really don't like it, i just hate the fact that I'm a balding 26 year old, and I don't have an ideal face for the look, it just doesn't suit me.. I tried to wear it short for a year, but now it is getting to me again. I'm a vain artistic type, and I do music and paintings, I don't like the bald, buff thing, I want some hair. I realize I'm not that bad off in terms of head shapes, but I still have a very big forehead, and a headshape which just screams for some coverage.
The thing is, there is LOADS of difference between being able to sport a half inch buzzcut with some density (this looks good enough), rather than having a 2mm buzz with a NW6 outline and frizzy miniaturized follices (like I have right now). I was ungrateful for everything, now I just want some normal shitty hair, I don't expect a luscious mane.
So here we go again, f*****g hell. I'm popping my first capsule of duta, and I'm going to be using my Dr. Pen for microneedling once a week, maybe I'll get around to using some shallower depths on off days. I don't know.
Attached is my current baseline, what I'm hoping for is some decent regrowth so I can have some semblance of a haircut when it grows out to about half an inch.
Update: 1 months of treatment, hair grown out
Update 2 months of treatment, still growing out hair
Update 3 months
