I used to wear a hat 24/7 when i was 17 to 21 i'm sure it never helped things especially after shower when hairs wet Hair needs air...yeah

Htsoon - They never made things worse so you forget the original problem - sorted Dutchie - Atleast you gave it a go i'm sure you have other options, good luck A while back i noticed my pictures on google images but now they are not

When my hair loss started around 23 years old i was too busy with other stuff in life sure i did see hair falling alot in the shower but didn't take much notice. Then one day the water would not go down and i noticed a whole butch of hair like a handful. I then realised i'm suffering hairloss so i started to see what can be done. I took fin when i was 24 years old for 1 year but then i stopped it. Now 36 years old im nw5b going 6 on 0.5mg fin and 5%min... I have been told if i did not take fin when my hair loss was at it's most i would have been nw7 by now. I have also noticed when i don't shampoo my hair everyday more hair fall out when i do. I shampoo everyday mostly alpecin and somtimes lipo and nizarol

I've sent my pictures around the whole world to every doctor and clinic. How they use them I don't know but one asked for permission to show according to them, not much can be done with my level of hair loss and donor area situation. I gave permission for this as it could help others out. In the 80s and 90s things used to be different people used to be more private and you had to get permission to take someone’s picture. These days cameras are everywhere and mobiles it's become normal. It's not only pictures but other personal information too! News and things can travel round the world before you get home! We live in a share open kind of time, I don't mind anymore nothing to hide, can see the good and freedom in it. The only problem I would have if it's used in a wrong way or by criminals. By the way i'm 36 now still don't know if I would be nw7

I've not been using the derma-roller or nizarol that much about once per week. I think it could be affecting the hair i already have and it can cause scalp irritation especially if used alot. Once the scalp gets problems it becomes very hard to get back to normal

Sometimes i think buzzing the hair down would be the best and safer option... No pills, no meds, no worry, further treatments, costs, risks, just been natural... If people want to judge or like a person by the amount of hair they have...

Well it's been about 5 months i been on fin 0.5mg it's not simple to tell if any sides are connected to fin as i have had low labido due to life events. I have seen alot more improvement to my hair when i added fin with min, will post some pic soon. Regarding tests i wonder which ones should be done ? It would have to be over some time to see if and how much by the levels have changed. Also i read the dose is 1mg everyday but then i read 0.5mg would only stay in your body for a few hours, so how is it worked out?

What's worse loosing your freedom or your hair?

I've been using vitamins for a few months now and i can say now my hair has started to look shiny, i don't know if this is a good sign ?

Starting my 6th can of min been on fin 0.5mg for about 2 to 3 months i did go up to 1mg for about 2 weeks but went back to 0.5mg. Also continuing with the supplements, dermaroller and shampoos. Pictures show difference before and after meds treatment

Fin for hair is like salt is for food

I saw someone with alot of hair at the front and mid scalp and nothing at the back. I Don't know if this person had surgery or if the hair loss was like this but it did not look good at all. I know its best to start with front but for me i think overall coverage is the best or nothing just buzz it down to one same level depending on the loss amount in the crown. People say only the front is looked at but so is the back and if there is alot at the front the back will look more worse and stand out more

I wonder if people with low libido etc should take fin even if they respond well to it ?

I wonder how this 1mg is worked out for everyone as people are different? I started 0.5mg then after about a month went upto 1mg for a few weeks but now i've gone back to 0.5mg for me i feel more comfortable with this and worry less about sides

If going away you got to pack a load just for the hair ! Also putting minoxidil on then going into water, showering etc

Some doctors would still do a transplant even if there was problem with the donor relying on fin to stable things... I don't think this approach is correct

Yes, that's what I will do, thanks

Don't know which one you are using or how much and how many times? I have been using it for about 5 months twice a week... Not had any scalp issues hair looks healthy and thick after use. I have noticed my hair and beard hair turning white alot I was just wondering if Nizarol could have anything to do with it as it is a type of medicine?

I used to trim my donor hair down to number#1 on a clipper then when i posted pictures it looked like it was faded in I was advised to grow it out when i did it all looked good and plenty but when the doctor done some tests he found high miniaturisation in the donor area so the hair was not faded it was not resistant. How much this will progress i don't know I will have to stick with the meds stuff and then be reassessed. Whatever the case i feel i'm one of those people who would have to stay on fin for a long time. I looked at my brothers donor and he has thinning all over he has never had any meds so i don't know how mine will end up. The hair that does grow grows quick due to been resistant to dht. Seems like it's more of a chance/ risky if whatever is taken from the donor area if it's not resistant to dht. One thing that is going my way is i'm responding well to the meds

It was an in person consultation the doctor has several tests he does before deciding if I was a suitable candidate. He advised not rush into a hair transplant due to the high miniaturisation in my donor area

I've started 5th can of min and it's been 1 month I've gone up to 1mg fin. I know alot has been said about fin but i can say when i started taking it after about 2 months i noticed a big difference in the thickness of my existing hair. Overall my hair is looking much better then it did before taking meds and there has been regrowth in the crown. I have been told by Dr Christian Bisanga BHR Clinic I have thinning in my donor hair which i will have to get checked again in 6 to 12 months then decide if a ht is possible and if it would be the best option. This month I've added MSM, Biotin and Zinc supplements to see if they will improve things. Sometimes i think if a person is destined to become norwood 7 then are these meds just delaying it for a bit of time and then ultimately genetics predisposition will take over ?

It would still be a bigger risk to get a hair transplant then and depending on the percentage amount of donor hair that has been affected would need to be considered. If a person went ahead and had a ht with donor thinning and then lost the transplanted hairs later they will also be left with the fue scars which can be seen amongst the thinning hairs in the donor worse if it was fut scar. I have alot of hair on my sides the hair grows alot and quickly many doctors told me i could have a certain number of grafts yet when i saw Dr Christian Bisanga at BHR Clinic, Brussels Europe he showed me I have thinning in the donor areas. Not only is my donor limited for the demand now its the quality of that donor hair as well. Looks like some of my donor is not resistant to the effects of dht so currently i'm taking fin and min with other supplements to see if that would improve things and see how the miniaturization progresses.

I have the lipogaine minox not sure if I should add it with the branded one or use it on its own. The branded one is working well but I have already brought the lipogaine so will have to use it.

In a normal diet does taking vitamins and supplements ontop make any real difference?

My hair grows in all different directions and if i let it grow more it starts to curl up. I cut the hairs that grow or go in the opposite direction i want them to go in especially at the front.
