Hey guys! I'm not going to upload pictures yet due to the reason that I've been lazily taking camera phone pictures at different angles and lighting here and then just for general progress, so I think it'd be better to include a 'beginning' and 'current' duo of pictures in a few more months (before I go holiday in the summer) to let minoxidil do more magic. However, I have some good news!

If you check my posts, my last post was me stressing out to FCK couple months ago because my hair was in a horrendous state. My hairline had receeded to hell and the back of my scalp was getting thinner and thinner (Basically at a Norwood IV stage on the scale). I had been on Fincar for 3 months at that time. As for fincar side effects, all I've ever experienced was watery semen (atleast I knew the drugs were real!!) which is now slowly returning to normal, and ironically a HUGELY increased sex drive (can anyone explain this?), I've been able to have sex morning, midday and night all in one day with no problems reguarly and I've also seen increased gains at the gym last 2 months (could be the mass-gain diet I'm on more so than higher levels of Testosterone).

Anyway, after my last post I jumped on Rogaine Foam. It's been 2 months and a couple weeks now. I experienced no initial shed as I'm aware, however my hair was consistently buzzed to a grade 1 so either it was 1) Unnoticeable or 2) It's true that the foam doesn't cause insane sheds on shorter hair (since it probably absorbs properly into the scalp rather than just hair follicles).

After 2 months, my hairline has improved tremendously, to where it looks like a NW1.5. The left side of my hairline was better off in the start, and now it looks like a black person's hairline, like really straight and edged at the side, how I had it when I was flippin' 16!. My right side was alot worse when I started the foam, having almost disappeared. Now the weaker hairs have become thicker and it's forming a straight hairline again, and the bald spot has sprung up with LOADS of new hairs. My temples have regrown ridiculously too, they were looking really thin and my face lost it's shape, now they've grown back and I have a more chiselled appearance again!

The back of my scalp has thickened upwards towards the crown, however I cannot say if this is down to finasteride or Rogaine. Now the only real part of my scalp that still needs alot of improvement is the midsection area on the top, which hopefully the foam will sort out soon as I'm seeing improved thickness there too.

I've made this just to give hope to people who doubt Foam could work on the hairline and are scared about HUGE sheds and Fincar side effects. This has been my 2cents for now and I hope it helps. I'll be uploading hopefully continualy sucessful pictures in a couple months.
Take care fellas
