FYI: This commercial-blog-like writing style makes it easy for you to read the text and makes it look shorter. I'm not offering any ebook in the end.


Hey there.
I am new to this whole topic as I supressed the idea I could be balding for a long time. I had temples already when I was a teenager. I am now 24 years old and a Norwood 2.X. I noticed that my hair got thinner and my scalp was visible when being under light.

I am here to share my hairregrowth-story with you.
I've been on finasterid for almost a month now. Every third day is use Ket-Shampoo and leave it on my scalp for like 3-5 minutes. Additionally, I started Minoxidil 5% like 2 weeks ago, only applying it on my hairline twice a day.

Side effects // aka // fundamental attribution errors
I am well informed about side effects and I can say that I already had the worst of them; within the first week of treatment I had developed a significantly feminine body shape with overly soft skin and could already see man boobs growing out of my chest.

I totally freaked out and felt guilty and naive for not having listened to the PFS-Guys here.

Okay, turned out it was all in my head. When you are tired, you tend to see a lot of things that are not given. At least I do. Watery semen is evident.

Same thing happened with minoxidil.

I noticed wrinkles and dark circles under my eyes. Damn! Had I ruined my skin for the sake of some preposterous body excremention that grows out of my scalp without any apparent reason?

No. I might have forgotten to mention that I hadn't had sufficient sleep for weeks.

You see how the story goes. What I understood from this stupid beliefs is that it is really easy to wrongly attribute changes in your life and body to finasteride. There's literally a billion possible causes for anything.




Now to my observation:

After I started a generic, but officially prescribed finasterid medication, I had an inital shed for 3 weeks. It stopped like 3 days ago. I am not sure if that is linked to finasterid or better nutrition. (I got used to not eat enough calories for months, and I started a nutrition programm a week ago that tells me exactly what to buy, cook and eat - so far it works well.)

I will add some semi-before pictures from today here.

What is to be expected with my regimen? I am convinced that my hair status looks worse in reality than on the pictures, my forehead looks HUGE. The short hairs on my hairline are cut this way to hide the temples. Sigh.

to see the full sized picture, just remove the "thumb." and the "/IMG_..." from the link. I am not allowed to post links as I am new.

Can’t see your pics and couldn’t be bothered faffing around with the links provided to see them. Good luck and may your nipples remain flat.
