Okay, so I started thinning at about 25. 33 now. Only just decided to do something serious about my hair loss.
I used to use unapproved FDA hair shampoo, but it felt like snake oil to me.
So, fast forward to now. I've had to shave my head, the front is incredibly thin and the top is more or less completely bald.
I've felt quite overwhelmed by the amount of products out there and I don't want to waste money on junk or pseudoscience or unapproved, but I have invested in the following;
Morning Regaine 5% minoxidil foam (2 months) and 1mg of generic Finasteride (currently on week 3) but may switch to branded Propecia.
Using Caffeine shampoo almost daily.
Haven't noticed anything yet but my hair is proper short. I don't mind it like this, but I also like styling hair.
I am going to start taking Biotin daily and I was thinking of investing in a LaserComb (are they worth it?) I see they seem to work. Or should I go DermaRoller?
Is 1mg of Finasteride enough? Is there a time when I should increase the dose? I haven't had any side effects on it so far. I haven't noticed any difference in hair growth or shed.
I am trying my best to sift through the information, but there is so much and I want to make sure I am maximising my time and products to get regrowth, I am in it for the long run and I am not sure I want restoration at the moment.
Any advice and tips to help me on my way would be greatly appreciated. I wish I had not listened to the rumours of Finasteride and started at 25 rather than wait 7 years for the damage to start.
