Synopsis: I had massively thick hair in high school, which I was very hard on with hair gel, and color treatments (cool highlights). I was extremely popular, and had had my pick of the ladies. Started becoming more difficult to style my hair. Throughout university massive shedding began, and my confidence plummeted. I exhibited extreme diffuse thinning, but my hair line remained mostly. I became an introvert, wearing hats everywhere, not going anywhere. Having no self-confidence. Started putting the pieces together that it ran in my family. Online forums scared the **** out of me, i came to the realization my life had been downgraded, and I was a shell of my former self. I am extremely self-conscious and shaving my head or accepting it was not an option. I would not be that guy. I tried lots of natural herbal shampoos and eventually added Nizoral. This yielded slight results, but I was still on a slippery slope. This lasted throughout all of university. I missed out on so many opportunities and experiences. I had no idea how I would find a job, not being able to wear a hat to the workplace. I bit the bullet and saw a doctor who referred me to a dermatologist. He prescribed 1mg once daily. He told me had taken it himself, and assured me effects would come from this dosage. I also than started going to Hairclub . The closest one was one hour away. I fell for their bull****, and forked out 2500.00 to join the regimen, of shampoo, vitamins and monthly visits. I eventually realized what a money grab this organization was, and after reading horror stories online, i canceled my treatment, and stopped dealing with hem. I added Rogaine foam 5% to my rotation, and just bought a normal thickening shampoo (aveda). Result were slow and steady, my confidence grew and grew. I landed a job, and could manage the day in and day out without embarrassment. Ladies started paying attention to me again. I stopped thinking about my regimen, or doing online research, I just lived my life.
