Hello everyone,
  • Video of my hair currently: sendvid.com/qgirunfr (copy and paste)
  • 28 y/o, thinning at the crown and hairline
  • Briefly took finasteride 1mg when I was 26, but then fell out of the regime
  • Re-started around 3 months ago (though didn't realise it was past expiry date!)
  • Now taking finasteride (this time not past expiry!), 1mg daily for a month so far
  • Decreased libido has been the main side (though not hugely noticeable so)
  • Lots of shed - 2-3 hairs every time I run my fingers through, 20-30 on the pillow each night
  • Small hairs have started to grow right at the front of my hairline, but otherwise just looking thinner
Questions:
  • Where am I on the Norwood scale?
  • Would I be better off (in terms of maximum chance of re-growth) just scrapping Finasteride & just move straight to Dutasteride?
  • Is oral minoxidil worth investigating? (the 2x day topical regime is too intensive for me & looks greasy)
  • What's the best way to hide the hair loss with long hair? Or should I just get it cut shorter?
  • The bald spot on my crown feels 'itchy' or 'exposed' sometimes, is it something I should be worried about?
I'm planning to start using Nizoral from next week too.
