Yea I tried growing my hair back on the advice of people telling me rogaine and finasteride may have done the job after keeping my hair buzzed to 0 for well over a year. I grew it back under the cover of my toque for like 3 weeks. No such luck. It's even apparent somewhat when its fully shaved down. People complained that im not making a fair comparison becuz my pics are low quality shots now. Well even using my cellphone I think its pretty apparent exactly where my hair is denser and where its very thin. You can see the exact patterns even when shaved when you know what to look for. Theres also a few shots where my hair looks very thick in darker light. diffuse thinning sucks.
Tried growing it back...never again

Why can't you do it? I bought a cheap clipper for $20, dont use any guards and just chop once a week. I dont even shave my facial hair I just use the clipper on it to keep my beard and sideburns the same length all around. Despite my beard being very thin it can look pretty good. let me show you a pic.

I got clippers but I only buzz my hair to #3 every week. I don't like my headshape so it's better to keep some coverage. I also think the #0 looks a bit extreme on me. Yeah I also use the clippers to chop my beard to #0. My beard is also very non-existent, almost white.
Thats me with guard 0 at a club and the facial hair clipped to. My head shape isnt the best either mate but you kinna just g2 let go. I cant even bear to look at my hair at guard 1. Its funny I actually chopped my hair off after growing it RIGHT after watching the HITMAN movie.
Dude lol our shapes are like the same look at my clubbing pic. I get so many comments, noone directly negatively attacks me and puts me down but I can sorta feel ppl looking at me. Ill tell u this tho I feel a lot more confident with my head shaved down then any hair growing outta it. As long as the confidence is there it can more then makeup any shortcomings I have in looks.
Im insecure too, but all it takes is a matter of saying f*** it. I KNOW i look ridiclous with my shaved head but I put it behind me. I pretend im goddamn sexy, and f*** if u do it enough ppl around u believe u too. Ive had a lot more female attention (postive not pointing at me laffing attention lol) then before.

how long have you been on finasteride and minoxidil out of interest?
That's the problem with diffuse thinning isn't it - from some angles/lighting conditions your hair looks fine, then in others it looks really obviously thin.
I'd say you suit the buzzed look anyway, and you could definately get away with a grade 1/2 rather than a close to the skin cut if you actually wanted to.

ive been on finasteride for like 2.5 years now and minoxidil for about a year (in addition to nizoral) its not the fairest comparison but check out my pics when I was younger on this site. My hair was longer so its not the best comparison but I think if nething ive gotten much worse.

Dude, you have the perfect hair for concealers...! Believe me! If you apply a shadow (...just a shadow!) of dark brown dermatch and put some hair-so-real or toppik...and master the way you use these two concealers..you will have very thick-looking hair. Sampoo with Jason thin to thick and Thicker-fuller-hair and dont forget nizoral 2%. All these products will work better if you have a bit longer hair...not shaved..But anyway, you are lucky to have a very good hairline. I have thicker hair than yours but my hairline sucks even after a hair transplant..
I don't understand all the confusion about hair treatments. When I started to go bald they didn't have any of this stuff, at least I don't think they did because I never thought about it. I was 40 and mostly bald the first time I ever heard of Rogain. I'm 60 now and up until a couple of years ago I was skin bald on top and wicked thin on the siges. But I'm not any more
A couple of years ago I was watching a baseball ball game and I got to thinking about baldness. That was due in large part to a commercial for Avacor. The same ad ran between every inning. They showed a "Before and After" of the back of some guys head. The picture was on the screen for a second only. Honest. About the sixth time the commercial came on I got up real close to the screen to see what the language was. I am talking about the words I saw in very small print at the bottom of the screen in between the Before and After pictures. Can anyone of you guys think of what it said? Was it something like "Results may vary." Nope. In between the Before and After picture it said, and I quote, "60 Seconds Later."
In my view, that was Avacor's way of avoiding a law suite. Hey, if the difference between the two pictures happened in 60 seconds, then you know it wasn't as the result of hair growth. That add really pissed me off. I was so pissed off I went searching on the computer, and guess what I found.
I found a product that increases blood flow to the scalp naturally. Since I have been using this all natural magnetic roller my hair loss has completely stopped, and I have re-grown so much new hair in the thin areas that every time I get my hair cut now the barber has to use thinning sheers. I don't understand for the life of me why this product isn't on every store shelf in every store in the country. It's call Mag-Gro and the only place I ever saw it was on line.
Good luck to you. I you decide to use this magnetic roller I bet you will be surprised.
