hairtohelp2's Hair Loss Story

I began to lose my hair aged around 19 and as i was so young i panicked and called a ad i found for hair transplantation, a guy with a great head of hair turned up at my house and after a chat about what he could do for me and how much i could pay him, he pulled back his hair to reveal the hair line i was dreaming of owning, he said to me "can you tell if ive had a transplant?" of course i couldnt but took this to mean he had and it was undetectable ( i was 19 and desperate to beleive him). so i ran for my credit card and gave the details.
Check out my album to see the results but long story short my heads a mess, ive covered it with hair systems ever since and its had a big toll on my life, i dont feel confident to make long term friends as when i get to see them more they always find out that i wear a hairpiece so for me i, like to keep poeple at bay even though i am very sociable so i feel that hair systems are keeping me from being myself.
I can not bear the thought of going the rest of my life like this so its time to do something about it. I have started minoxidil 5% this week and i am waiting for a delivery of finesteride. i want to grow as much hair as possible over the next 3 to 4 months to save costs of grafts and i intend to go to india to get as many grafts as i can afford. its the only way i can get my head sorted.
UPDATE... I have been taking minoxidil and finesteride now for 2 months and i am very pleased with the results, the hair has become thicker darker and stronger, i will keep you posted.
