Hi all:)
First off a little about myself and my progress. Balding runs in my family and i started losing my hair about age 20. I have twice used propecia but i seem to be one of those unlucky few who it had disastrous side effects for ( you could have two naked playboy models in the room with me and i wouldn’t be interested! not to mention it also seemed to effect my moods and made me more emotional) I am now 25 and decided i would get a hair transplant before it gets any worse
On May 19th I had a FUT hair Transplant done with Dr Radha. Originally from the photos i sent her she had thought i was a 3V however when i came in to see her it was deemed i was more likely a 3. She deemed that the density in my crown and middle areas although thinning was still too high to plant grafts there
-Approximately 2300 Grafts were used to restore my hairline. The transplant was easy and i slept through a lot of it. She was very helpful with all my questions. What she did recommend was that i would be a perfect Candidate for propecia - however i told her if i wish to keep my girlfriend and my libido this isn’t an option.
My questions are, and any help would be much appreciated:
1) Are there any supplements you recommend that could help or would help with maintaining the hair i have that have helped for people (other than propecia)???
2)When should i start applying minoxidil again? is it ok to apply it to the newly transplanted hairs? will it help / hinder
3) Does anyone have epxerience with topical RU-58841 and can recommend it or something similar?
4) What regime should i use Nizoral shampoo? A previous Dr i went to when i was younger said daily however i see most people only use it 2 times a week
5) Other than Nizoral, What is the best shampoo/conditioner combo to use on a regular basis to maintain hair / stop hair loss or increase the thickness of the hair? Previously i had been using Nioxin but i see not many people use it on here
Thanks for your help guys, much appreciated:)
