So I'm 24 years old, as I assume most of you are in the same boat, I want to keep my haair as long as possible to have a chance with women, maintain general confidence etc...
I first noticed some thinning when i was like 19/20, nothing crazy at all but I'm super paranoid so I took finasteride. I certainly realize I'm not looking like Larry David but at the same time I have lost the thickness I used to have which really sucks. I went to Dr. Leonard (for those of you in Boston) regarding hair implants and he said I was a. too young, b. I'd just lose hair around it so it definitely wasnt worth it yet.
I've experienced more shedding over the past couple of months and I guess I'm coming to the realization that I'll never have the "luscious locks" I had in high school, but really any recommendations are much appreciated.
I've been taking finasteride 1mg and biotin for the past 4ish years and use Nizoral 3 times a week typically using tee trea shampoo the other days. . Afraid to try minoxidil/ rogaine because the whole shedding thing scares me, (but open to personal experiences there). Vitamin/ supplement recommendations are welcome
Also worth noting, I'm not fat or anything but don't necessarily have the best lifestyle, eat as I want and drink and smoke on weekends etc. I feel like i constantly touch my hair too as an ocd thing so I don;t know if thats bad too.
Sorry for the long post but really just want some help!!
Thanks Y'all
