Dr In the above post you have mentioned that propecia is more effective than minoxidil in regrowing hair whereas minoxidil is only helpful is slowing down the loss. I have read reports that propecia is mainly useful to retain the existing hair while minoxidil is very effective in regrowing new hair.What is the exact mechanism of each drug. I have been on both drugs for the last 4 months and i have noticed a lot of growth in the crown area.Is is because of propecia or minoxidil?

I have added biotin to my regime.i have started with a 5mg dosaage pill.Lets c.

ok..but what is the recommended daily dosage to be taken

I have read a lot about biotin being good for the hair.I am thinking of adding it to my regime.How much mg dosage is one suppose to take

can anybody else too give some input

I was heading towards a norwood 3v.I have been using finastride and minoxidil for the last 4 months and it has worked really well for my crown.I cant see my scalp anymore.It is all covered.The meds havnet done any good to my hairline.So iam currently a norwood 2 with a big forehead.I have wavy hair so i cant really cover my big forehead.What i want to know is that if i straighten my hair in the front will it lead to hair loss.I want to straighten it so that i can just give it a falling look in the front.I just got inspired into doing so by seeing a friend who is a norwood 2 and straightened his hair in the front to cover his forehead.It looks good on him.Can i do the same.Is hair straightening risky?

azazelgs, I can completely relate to what you are going through.I am 22 and my confidence has taken a beating because of hairloss.The ego inside me has completely dissapeared.In just a couple of months time the feeling that when u are walking down the street and nobody even notices u suddenly vanishes is really upsetting.I just feel invisible to the girls all of a sudden.My long time gf dumped me some moths back back because i was losing hair.For some people the hair really reflects on the face n i was probably 1 amongst them.My hair made me look good and now it makes me look ugly.All of a sudden my wavy thick hair started miniaturising very badly and it was like a head full of of really ugly looking shapeless curly hair.My hairline started receding.This is when i avoided meeting my gf for weeks making some excuse.And the day i finally did she came towards me from some distance with all smiles but when she took a good look at me i could notice the smile suddenly vanished and she look surprised.She told me that i was looking weird.i could clearly see that she was feeling embarrassed to introduce me to her batchmates as her bf.The following day she dumped me.I dont really blame her for anything,She was extremely goodlooking and she did deserve some1 who looked really good.In your early tweenties its not all about the person from within,looks do matter!!,so i dont really blame her.I just felt like a loser alltogeter.It was not because of my breakup, it was because i felt life was changing.It was not the same.The worst part being there is no history of hairloss in my family.I dont know why this is happening to me I have been on the big there i.e finastride,minoxidil and nizoral for 4 months and it has been working excellently well for my crown.It has even reversed my miniaturised hair to a great extent.I will be considering a hair transplant in the future. Hang in there man.There are meds which are working and a possible hair transplent in the future to restore your hair.Just hope for the best.Think positive.B+v2
