Started balding when I was 17. Was a NW IV with major diffuse thinning, and not much of a hairline. Was on propecia for a year (and still am) and rogaine. I've quit the rogain afer 14 months, since my scalp wasn't really responding.
I had a FUT of 5008 grafts by Dr. Arocha of Houston on May 20, 2011, just after having turned 30.
