Hey guys ,

I have been more than a year on finasteride . Side effects sometimes i have thought about them but most of the time i have not .

I think finasteride worked , stopped my hair loss , i think i have maintained my hair density and i think my hairs are thicker on the top , not in the front .

Scared of side effects sometimes , but i have not felt any side effects till now . Hands crossed.

Yes of course i really miss my temples , my hair do not grow longer Now , My hair quality or texture has not improved but my hair fall is stable and i have maintained my hair density .

I will definately go for a hair transplant , i want to have my temples back and want to have a nice hairline .

Sorry for my bad english .

Thanks .

My picture almost nine months on finasteride and still ongoing , no side effects till now ,

I think i do not think about side effects any more , finasteride is a part of my daily routine now .

my hairs after 5 or 6 months , i dint remember when i started fin 1mg.

as far as finasteride side effects , i think i have not suffered ant till now , and hope will not suffer in future , and actually i am not thinking much about finasteride now , i am just taking finasteride 1mg ( finax ) daily in morning .

in my views finasteride is not doing anything much , but i scare getting off from fin .

i will not leave finasteride as people says save your native hairs if you need a goot ht result ,

i will definately go for hair transplant as soon as i reach 1 year mark on finasteride .

this picture is without caboki or any other concealers but after shampoo.

my hair has gone curly .

i appreciate any advice .

currently :

1mg finasteride daily morning (finax dr.reddy)

Hey guys ,

I have been using finasteride for more tgan 4.5 months now . I have not seen any change as i was not suffering from massive hair loss before .

Do not know what to do now ,

But i am hoping to go for a hair transplant .

Okay thanks. Have you seen people who've started this early in hair loss?

I am taking fin from 3 months no results so far

it always feels good to hear positive things from people experiencing anything related to hair loss industry .

Most of people says positive about fin but

No one shows there positive before after progress on fin .

What i have learnt so far from my hair loss is , hair loss is a very complicated issue and there is no reversal , it is just genes like every people have different color tone , we can just make it look better but cannot change it

Fin is a very long term investment, it's mainly for preventing future loss and maintaining what you have. So take comfort knowing that you're on the right path. I think very few people see significant improvement from their starting point, and that's after probably 6+ months. For the first few months your hair could very well look a bit worse as the weaker hairs shed out before coming back stronger.

are you suffering from hair loss ?

if yes , have you tried fin or minox or ht ?

also going to gym daily 1.5 months , build some biceps and chest and lost little belly , legs also getting stronger ,

jogging dsily stleast 30 mins , 2.5 - 3 kms daily ,

lost 7 kgs and built some muscles , planning to get a lean body and make abs ,

i try not to look in the mirror , get mixed comments about my hair some say not loosing some say lost much hair .

hope work out is not bad for hair .

and hoping fin do not harm my body .

sometimes think i am prepared for a ht and sometimes think leave it so many people live without hair , but i think i cannot live without my hair at least till 35 need a full head of hair.

if will go for ht will do it from h & w . of course money is an issue but if ht looks natural and if no issues with scars then not a bad option .

completed 3 months 6 days on fin , no improvement so far , hair quality overall is very thin , hair on top are wavy and back of head are straight , hair loss arrested , i think not much hair fall when i started fin , 1 reason may be lots of hair has fallen so not seeing much hair fall ,

sometimes get very low about my hair , using caboki and i am addicted to it , caboki when applied hides the scalp when light falls on the scalp it reflects black color so hiding the scalp and giving a better look ,

do not if caboki after applyin daily may make situations worse .

but i think fin not working , i am just taking as they say for hair transplant say your native hairs , so just taking as hope ,

daily bargaining with god for hair

wish i can get my hair back .

I think recreating a hair follicle is like creating a new organism that has the ability to repair itself and that will be there for endless time . May be if we find a way to recreate a follicle it will open the gates for those who have lost there arms and legs , by injecting theese type of cells they are giving cells to body that can recreate a whole part of body .

Dieing everyday , due to hair loss .

fin is not only junk , its DANGEROUS , have u not googled it yet ?

there have been loads of people who have just killed their beautiful life with this Junk .... so many get into depression , suicides , Erectile failure , Postrate cancer ..... u think its worth a little hair even if it manages to grow some stupid vertex hair ? It will never grow or hold the hairline .... as any any good doctor if he says it hold the hair line ,,,, its just that he is not having proper knowledge !!!

 

Even dr , Koray advocates that it will ONLY Hold some Promise for the VERTEX ..... for a Hair Line ... its ONLY Hair Transplant my dear friend ... do not waste ur life on propecia , its not worth the risk !!

But everyone says that save your native hairs , even after ht your hairs will keep falling and then you need more ht for more coverage and one day we will out of donor supply what we will do then ,

And now i am getting really scared that wat will happen if i keep taking finasteride. And if depression is concerned i also think of suicide before taking finasteride due to my hair loss .

Well I started noticing little white flakes I assumed were just dandruff back in Jul/Aug of 2013. Didn't think much of it at the time, but since then I have really noticed more hair falling out and am starting to see noticeable thinning and volume loss all over my head (but especially in the crown with less thinning in the area where I had my transplant.

 

Long story short...talked to my HT surgeon about it soon after and he said to get on Nizoral. Tried that for a while but things only seemed to get worse. Scheduled an appt with a Dermatologist and they said I had dandruff and to use Clobatezol and Nizoral should help too. So I did and no real change so I went back for a follow up. It was then that the Derm (a different one this time in the same office) did a hair pull test and diagnosed me with Telogen Effluvium (when too much of hair is in the resting phase). She said to continue on the Clobatezol and to alternate dandruff shampoos. Also was sent for a thyroid test which came back normal (that was about 3 weeks ago).

 

I am honestly at a loss, because I continue to see a lot of hair come out each time I shower and I see white flakes in my wet hair after I wash thoroughly each day. I don't know what to do and I don't know how long this is going to last. I don't want to stop taking Finasteride or Minoxidil, but I don't know how to get this to stop.

 

I read that Telogen Effluvium usually corrects itself, but that is after the stressor or the thing that started it is eradicated. I am not sure what I have started doing differently that could have caused this and I don't seem to really see a slow down.

 

I am hoping that there is somebody out there that has had a similar experience and can give me some advice. It seems that the docs just don't know what to do, and I hear that stress makes it worse. Well, it's hard not to stress when you see your hair coming out each morning and every time I come my hair.

 

Thanks for any help in advance.

I had similar problem like yours . I suffered from sebhorric dermatitis or dandruff for 3 years .there a white layer all over your scalp but not at back .

Google dandrid lotion , give it try just for 15 days regular and wash your head daily after applying overnight , you will get rid of it for sure .

It worked for me and it must work for you .

In my experience , some doctors , even after many years of there practice are not able to learn or provide the best results .

And yes we patients are so hopeless , even after the bad job of doctors there are countless amount of hopeless patients like us becoz we just need a prrson to give us a hope and we trust them . So there is no lack of patients for such type of doctors .

But here we need a freind to show us a right path coz we are depressed and cannot see the actual truth , but if that freind also gives us a wrong advice so whom to trust .

There is no appology for ruining a person life , coz going through that depression and experiencing it is very scary , and only few can survive from that depression .

I am also a victim of such doctors not for hair transplant but for theese so called snake oil treatments .

Theese doctors have no time to give appointment and have endless numbers of degree but they keep there patients in darkside and if anything wrong happens they either stop attending or they have there old stories , saying every patient is different .

But there is no appology for a wrong work , just think through how much pain this guy has gone and how difficult for him to deal with .

I think no one in india . Or may be i am wrong but as joe said may be dr. A as joe in this field and he knows more .

But i think hair transplants also cannot satisfy and solve hair problem . Hair restoration are for those who have good amount of hair and just need an improvement , medication are junk in my experience .

I hav not seen improvements in 2.5 months

I am getting convinced day by day as people say finasteride is a peice of junk not more that it will not grow your hairs even in the crown , i am personally on finasteride from 2.5 months and not even saw an improvement sign .

Again Getting depressed

Today feeling very depressed on my hair loss ,

I should not have tried all theese snake oil treatments.

Praying god to give all my locks back

Finasteride 2.5 months it is not working .

I have lost so much hairs in diffuse and both mpb pattern .

My hairs have thinned or minitiarized all over my scalp .

I think surgical restoration also cannot give a hope .

I have ruined my life using theese snake oil treatments.

I have lost something i loved most . Depressed seriously

Baldness is like a slow poison , i die every die of my life.

Cannot express my feelings how badly i am hurt.

It is something everyone has and i have lost .

Hair loss was an issue until now for me and

Now theese minitiarised hairs .

I am sometimes so depressed by my diffuse top thinning and front loss that i sometimes feel like suicide , not coz of girls , but i just loved my hair always kept them till shoulders. .

Sometimes i get embarrased about my hair when cousins and freinds make a comment on my receding hair line and very thin top .

Sometimes i think they are only just hairs and there are more important things in life to do but as soon as i see the mirror my confidence turns into depression and then i leave everything i was doing and feel very sad .

I am suffering from low density and minitiarised hairs they have become very fine and do not grow long actually they have become very rough and very fine.

I think i am not suffering from hair loss now .

hey guys ,

if we search we will find very few girls looking hot without make up and dressed simple , we go in functions and public meeting , these ladies have done hell lot of make up and hair extensions to look good , so , how they are elligible to make comments on a bald men ,

this happened to me once , i not bald but have a receding hair line , have lot of freinds ,

but there are some people in functions , there main aim is just to make fun of others , we were sitting in a group and a girl i just hardly know was trying to be frank with me and then she just suddenly made comment on my receding hairline and she herself had done lot of makeup and used hair extensions how can she make a comment on me like this , i just commented on her make up and hair extensions and from that i dint heard a comment from her .

the reason they can paint there face and heads , and most men dont preffer to paint their face .

they also look so much weird with painting there face and using extensions on their head .

what do you guys think about this proposed hairline? like i said, ultimately i want beard/body hair FUE into the scar.

 

I have 2000 available via strip and 1500-2000 after that via FUE.

 

Before i fill in the scar does it make sense to use up 1000-1200 for this proposed hairline as when the strip scar is filled i won't have further strip, that'll still leave me with 2000 grafts for future loss via FUE. Keep in mind 90% of the hair on my head is already transplanted hair (9k grafts).

 

I don't think this hairline is aggressive, i just want the option to wear my hair back as at the moment it looks great styled the way it is but slashed back its noticeably receded. Input would be appreciated as I'm really unsure whether to get this, or simply just leave as is and fill in the scar.

 

**although i drew near the temple points, i probably wouldn't touch thees, i was just experimenting!**

 

 

 

 

 

 

see your before pictures when you had no hairs and see your current pictures with transplanted hairs , i think the answer you will get , dude you got hell lot of hairs as compared to before ht pictures , you should be happy with these and dont be greedy , and save these 2000 grafts for mid section or crown for future , i think no more hairs needed in front .

you have got a new look so enjoy .

peace ,

akash

love your temple points , temple points plays a major role in framing a man's face , i know coz i have lost them.

how these fue scars look like ?

OK....I attached 2 pics...I know they are small...my wife is saying that this is just a cow lick and a part....but not sure wether to believe her...does this look like MPB to u? I have thought it was before but shaved it tighter and all the hair looks the same....so...what do u think....did I marry a lier or am I tripping?

 

Took some in different lighting and one is with my hair grown out...where u can not tell at all....

 

Just trying to stay on top of things...:rolleyes:

You have got a great head of hair

also 1 more thing i want to ask , have you seen any improvement using finasteride or rogaine ?

if yes what type of improvements

awsum results man , u must be feeling very happy , i think everyone here can understand the feeling when we get new hairs .
