Just why, damn! It can't regrow proper hairline or temples, only some tiny hair and mostly peach fuzz.. (i'm still on finasteride, minoxidil 5% and nizoral since last may).

Is this normal??

It doesn't work great on my crown either. You really need to throw in everything you can for regrowth. I'd suggest adding a bit of RU58841 along your hairline.

it does the same thing on your crown, iy only grows peach fuzz. the reason it doesn't look like that is because you already have hair in the crown so it just fills it in.

Alternate it using spirolactone, one to cover androgen receptors the other to shock them into growth (rogaine)

No one can answer why people have more trouble regrowing terminal hairs at the hairline with ANY treatment. We just don't know. You can try dermarolling and perhaps a higher percentage minoxidil?? idk... I know that since I have been on 15% for the last 2 months, I have little vellous hairs growing all over my damn hair line. If they were to become terminal, some how some way, I would have the damn hairline of a NW1. I am still excited about them though. New hair growth of ANY kind in previously completely bald areas is an encouraging sign.

The Bible sounds contradictory on the issue of hairloss. In one quote it sounds like a good thing, in another it sounds bad like a punishment for the unworthy. So which one is it - is baldness a good or bad thing in God's eye:

[h=3]Leviticus 13:41 ESV / 22 helpful votes[/h][h=3][/h][h=3][/h] And if a man's hair falls out from his forehead, he has baldness of the forehead; he is clean.

[h=3]Isaiah 3:24 ESV / 19 helpful votes[/h]
[h=3][/h][h=3][/h] Instead of perfume there will be rottenness; and instead of a belt, a rope; and instead of well-set hair, baldness; and instead of a rich robe, a skirt of sackcloth; and branding instead of beauty.

It's an evolutionary mutation that stuck. No offense man, I respect people of all religions, but not every quirk in nature can be revealed by the great book. There are a thousand traits that have been induced through time by natural selection. They all make us think, "what the hell?!?". They just are. Some have evolutionary significance, some have absolutely none. They neither better or hinder the species. They just are.

But yeah, I often find myself yelling at God throughout the day because of my hair loss, so I suppose I am a hypocrite. haha

This actually looks like the typical look of a franciscan monk. In their case the crown area is shaved and I think that's what he means when he says "baldness".

Disclaimer: not religious myself but I read about all of them because I think it's interesting

It does work on hair and temples. It wasn't tested there. In my twenties (twenty to be exact), I grew back my complete
hairline with two percent Minoxidil (only percentage around at that time, and for a script).

Actually, using Propecia (Finasteride) with Minoxidil, you will probably at least grow the middle of your hairline back.

I would recommend using it all over your diffuse scalp.

Even when i'm not thinning?
