everyone says use finasteride it is good and helped them in regrowth ot halting the hair loss but when the before after pictures concerned no one shows there results and there very limited before after pictures of finasteride users , sometimes i doubt , does finasteride really help and make hair thick or regrow ?

i am currently on fin from 2 months

The closest cure for hairloss is basically Fin/Dut. Consider getting on Fin sooner rather than later.. DUT is a more aggressive form of Fin, greater chance of side effects, so probably best to avoid that one.

 

Sell the laser comb on ebay and buy some Nizoral shampoo IMO.

I WAS JUST THINKING , IS FINASTERIDE REALLY A CURE TO BALDNESS ?

AND ALSO IS THERE ANY LINK BETWEEN daily MASTURBATION OR SEX and hair loss .

it sounds like an awkward question but i just want to clear my doubt .

There is a lot of false and misleading information out there, but without the internet it would be much harder to sort it all out. I'm very thankful to have the internet as a resource. Sites like this allow people to post their experiences (good or bad) and learn from the wisdom of others. Not everything you read is accurate, but the aggregate of the information is truly invaluable.

yes i agree with you , actually this is only internet through which we hair loss sufferer have so much knowledge about our hairs and hair loss , and actually atleast we get to know what is the main reason behind our hair loss and we do not get bald overnight and hundereds of other things and through this we our saved by bogus clinics and treatments ,

but

at the first sign of our hair loss if we search the internet we do not what to trust , who to trust , which information is right and which is wrong and we make wrong decisions and till we get to know the main reason behind and try to cope up with our hair loss things actually get worse or we have lost so much of hairs .

That's a good point Akash...

how long were you depressed about it before you took action?

I'm assuming you've gotten your hair loss under control now.. is that right?

i have been in depression almost 4 years till now , but not much as initial years , actually the depression is mainly like " WHY IT IS HAPPENING TO ME " , at that time i thought i was the only person and always we try avoid this hair loss question and not discuss with people .

this the main problem of hair loss sufferer .

actually the main depression is of :

1 .not getting the answers about hair loss

2 . the market is full of bogus treatments and products

3 . there is no one to understand the emotions of a hair loss sufferer

4. i think lack of objective information

i was active when i first saw my hair loss , but got depressed becoz everything i tried just dint work and these doctors or physicians make fool of hair loss sufferers i think , becoz they know that there treatment is not going to work and they know the actual cause of hair loss but they do not tell there patients and the patient feel depressed all the time .

and internet also is full of shit information on hair loss .

in my views the lack of objective information for a hair loss sufferer make him more curious and more depressed .

hi guys ,

i was just thinking ,

hair loss hits our confidence two times and makes us depressed .

first we regret that our hairs are falling and the second time we regret that why we got depressed when our hairs were falling ,

so actually it hits us twice .

i regret today , how much time i have wasted in depression of my hair loss , due to lack of knowledge and actually people do not know about our hair loss but it is always in our head .

Speaking as someone who is 35 I can tell you it's fairly likely you will care when you're 35. And 45. And 55. The point the others are making above is if you get bad advice or a bad procedure now, you're potentially going to have fucked your options in future.

 

Don't jump into any procedure. Seriously, the more you research and the more you know, the longer you'll take to make a decision. I think I've been toying with the idea for abut two years and I could well have had one after a month of looking had circumstances been different. And I'd have likely made a pretty crappy decision at the one-month mark.

 

The advice you've been given is sound. Take meds. Research. See where that leaves you in a year. Or just give it a few months. But don't do something rash.

thank you sir for your advice .

i more thing i want to ask , like if i go for a ht just to get a hairline like just get a symmetry , it can give a more confident look to me and the rest hairs i can save through meds .

so is this decision correct ?

I don't think the snake oil would have caused the loss in density as you fear but even if it did then I suspect it would return to how it was before you used it within 6 months or so. Staying on propecia gives you a good chance of maintaining your hair or at least slowing down your loss so you most probably will still have hair after 40! You only have a limited donor supply and a transplant is so tempting to jump in to at the first signs of loss but people need to plan long term. Try the meds and don't waste your money on snake oil etc as they won't work on male pattern loss. You are on the best treatment ( propecia ) and I would wait until you are at least 30 until you consider a transplant as you need to see how well you respond to the medication first. Forward planning is best for long term success. You are in the best place here for help & knowledge!

I APPRECIATE your advice , thanx for giving me such a helpful advice , i think this is how it works , helping people and share your experiences with others .

but i was just thinking , like if i go for a ht know i think i can have better looks now and atleast i can enjoy my 6-7 years now and when we hit 35 i think many of us gets bald and we get older and we have more things to do in life , like we have kids there problems and hell lot of other tensions and also many of us go bald so we are adjustable in that age .

this is my opinion for getting a ht now , and this is not my first sign my first sign of hair loss was 7 years ago since then i am struggling .

thanks ,

any advice appreciated

i think it's good that you have started propecia as this will help to slow down the loss and maybe even stop it. You should also notice the difference in the quality of your hair. This does take time and it is advisable to stick with it and see how things look after 12 months. I would wait and see how that goes and maybe use nizarol once or twice weekly too. I think it is too early to consider a transplant as you will need to see how you respond to propecia first. After you have been on propecia for at least 12 months you can then look at your options. Hope this helps.

the main fear is i have lost a significant density , i always used to grow my hairs till shoulders and played drums and guiter and used to bang them , but somehting went wrong with my hair ,

also the reason for starting meds is , we never know how much more hair we will loose and i just read that save your donor area , i will be happy if i can have hairs till age 35-40 , afterwards who cares.

And also i have used all that snake oil shit i think that took my density away

hi guys ,

i had been suffering from dermatitis from over 4 - 5 years , from 18 years of age to 22 ,

i thought it will never end , my whole scalp gets white after i wash and when i get my hairs wet and a lot of hairs fall , , i think that took my texture , after shampoo while day some white thing keep on shedding , it shed like someone has sprikled talc on my hairs i was very irritated by it , but after 4 years of struggle a dermatologist gave me a lotion named DANDRID . I USED IT FOR AROUND 1-2 MONTHS REGUALR , then 2wice a week and now after 15 days , it did wonders , my scalp is clean now no dandruff nothing , but yes if i go in sun sometimes i see very minimal dandruff but not very severe , hair loss is the only problem now , for that

i have convinced my self to use finasteride and i am on dr.reddy finax from 2 months , i have not seen any side effects but scared of them , i sometimes regret i should have started 3-4 years before but who knows it can bring any side - effects , but your teen and college days are the best of your life , when you dont need to worry about anything and your smells awsum .

and yes i have read many people stories on finasteride good results god knows if they are saying truth or betraying us , but everyone says finasteride is the only hope so i made a decision to try . i hope my hair gets thicker and fuller and ofcourse i will go for a ht .

SHAMPOO YOUR HAIRS DAILY I THINK OR AT LEAST 3 TIMES A WEEK ,

I HAD MY OWN EXPERIENCE WHEN PEOPLE SAYS DO NOT SHAMPOO YOUR HAIR , ALWAYS PUT OIL, BELIEVE IT WILL MAKE HAIRS WORSE ,

KEEP THE SCALP CLEAN

thanks ,

akash

i am on dr reddy finax from over 2 months , not suffered any side effects , or i do not think about them much dont know , but not any sexual side effects .

but i am only on 2 months now and know about long term , god save us and grow some hairs .

not seen any progress in my hair .

my hairs do not fall like hell . but 50-60 may be the whole day .

i am norwood 3 , diffused top , lost front and the front hairs do not grow know and very fine hairs on top

Where are from? Honstley, I don't feel like you are a candidate at this point. Give finasteride another 10 months and check back in would be advice.

 

ABOVE ALL ELSE, DO NOT JUMP INTO A PROCEDURE WITHOUT KNOWING THE DOCTOR WELL AND SEEING SOME OF HIS PATIENTS, PREFERABLY IN PERSON. Young people losing their hair do desperate things and it costs them in the long run.

i am from india , and my hair loss is bad , in this picture it is not clear , i do not how to attach multiple pictures at same time , i can send more pictures , i need a hair transplant for my front hair line , i can travel to a place where good ht can be done .

So true that it deserves quoting.

 

Maintaining hair is the drug's main job - the task it is most successful at - and the only sign that it's working is what isn't happening; i.e. your hairloss is not progressing.
