  1. That's only some Henna, no aggressive dye or something. I know the 2015 pic has a different lighting, but believe me my hair looked so much better back then. I have already written Koray again, he's on holidays until July, will see then what he says. Thank you all for your opinions.
  2. I noticed it last May, but looking back I was already thinning in late 2015, I just didn't realize it, but it shows a bit on photos. Nothing I did amde a difference, my hair got progressively thinner since last year. So last thing I'm trying is Dutasteride. Can't say anything yet, been not even 2 months. Dr. Koray thinks that Fin or now Dut will help me keep my top and back. I do hope that's true. If not I will continue to get transplants. A good thing is that my donor hair is very thick and coarse, so that surely helps. I get good coverage with the texture of my hair. I thinned for 4 years before geting on Propecia and yet I still had a full head of hair except when you inspected really close, because my hair gives good coverage. I don't want an US doctor since I am in Europe. I do think that Erdogan is unbeatable when you look at the price/quality ratio, right?
  3. I only started RU, Minox and all after my hair got worse. Before that I only used Fin. I shampooed with the same shampoo I have for years and so on. The problem? Me in late 2015: https://dl2.pushbulletusercontent.com/gUgylHXLU7umAjjaGhc6qQCarSDSA4RB/sept_2015_gel.png Me now: https://dl2.pushbulletusercontent.com/ohyDpxJPUiISxLpByew8pzGs8sCFmpkI/_20170623_211941.JPG If you can't see that I lost a ton of hair then I don't know what you're seeing. The hairline is great? It's thin and see through, it's impossible to style and it doesn't grow right. For someone with a NW6 this hairline might be great, but for me it's horrible. I want to change it. Dr. Koray would take me and I think he has one of the best reputation around here, right? Sorry, if I came across as hysteric, the whole reoccurrence of hairloss is getting to me big time.
  4. Guys, what are you talking about I have no hair loss? Have you taken a look how my hair looked 2 years ago???? Two years!!! I don't want the hairline I had at 24 but the hairline I had at 40!!! I look like late 20s otherwise so I hate how my hair looks! And it's bullshit that I have a better hairline than 90% of other men my age. Maybe on this board, but not IRL. Half of my friends don't show any kind of balding and have a perfect hairline. No, I don't have visual miniaturisation, but just a lot less hair. So what do I make of that? The outcome's the same. Also, my hair in the front doesn't grow as fast and looks thin and sickly. The hold up is that I don't know if I can stop my rapid hair loss with Duta. And that I don't know about shockloss. If that was settled I'd book today. So what am I supposed to do? I didn't take steroids or anything else. Shampoos don't cause pattern hair loss and I haven't changed anything there anyways. I'm trying for one year now to stop my hairloss, first with RU, then minox, now with Duta. It's not a shed, how can a shed last over one year? Supplements don't do shit for hair loss and we all know that.
  5. What? My hairline isn't even half as good as the guys in the pic. When I push it up it's see through. What is age appropriate? All my friends who don't have hair loss have a hair line like the bloke in the picture. You either have hair loss or you don't. It's not like you see a guy with a low hair line and think "that hair line is too low for his age". No, you think he has good hair. I look extremely young, most people think I'm at least 10 years younger, so a grandpa hairline would be awful for me. I want the hairline I have now, but denser!
  6. Finasteride stopped my hair loss for 14 years. Fact! Don't know why it fails now, it's like I stopped taking it, but hope that Duta will help. My hair looks like shit. I hate the way it looks. You don't see any hair loss? Then please look at the other pics I posted: Two years ago: https://dl2.pushbulletusercontent.com/gUgylHXLU7umAjjaGhc6qQCarSDSA4RB/sept_2015_gel.png 7 Years ago: https://dl2.pushbulletusercontent.com/4HcBltJYlmEdakqW7TDoCcfuoxyy4kim/_20170209_204720.JPG I would love to get a result like this: https://www.hairtransplantfue.org/asmed-hair-transplant-result/results/dr-koray-erdogan-1950-grafts-fue-79 Isn't there the posibility of dense packing? My hair in the front is so thin that you could easily fit hair between.
  7. https://dl2.pushbulletusercontent.com/ohyDpxJPUiISxLpByew8pzGs8sCFmpkI/_20170623_211941.JPG It's just so thin that I can't get style it really. I want a good hairline and front again. It also doesn't grow as fast, so it just looks awkward. The not growing as fast came last year and it drives me nuts. I still hope that Dutasteride might help at some point, since I'm only on it for 2 months, but it won't rerow my hairline. Something like that would be awesome: https://www.hairtransplantfue.org/asmed-hair-transplant-result/results/dr-koray-erdogan-1950-grafts-fue-79
  8. Killer? It looks absolut shit! My front is thinned out and doesn't grow! I can't style it at all. I want a good front again. It really went to shit in just one year. I want to get it to where it was before (see other pics). I don't want to wait till I'm really visible balding.
  9. Hi! So here is my story. Started Propecia in 2001, worked like a charm, kept all my hair. I only had moderate thinning all throughout a NW6 area, but Propecia halted my hairloss and I had a full head of hair, where you would need to look extremely close to see some minor thinning. Then last year everything went to shit. Suddenly I noticed that my hair looked thinner. First I thoought only in the front but then it was obvious that the whole NW& area started to thin. Went on RU last July and Minox in November, but neither stopped my hairloss. Finally went on Dut 0.5 ED beginning of May this year. As of yet it's been not even 2 months and I can't say if it will work in stopping my hair loss. The situation of my hair is now so much worse than last year. My hairline and front are super thin now. In the back it's also a lot thinner. All throughout NW6 the hair has thinned but it's especially bad in the front. The hairs in the front also grow much slower than the ones behind so it looks like shit. Funnily enough I still can pull of a semi full head of hair, which is most likely due to the texture of my hair, which is very thick. But I really want more hair in the front. So I'm thinking of getting FUE for my front. I figure if my hair loss stops then I want more hair there and if not I will have to shave the whole shit at some point anyways. I already wrote Dr. Koray in February and he quoted me 2500 grafts for the front. Since then I'm sure my front got worse, but maybe 2500 will do. The thing is I still got hair there. I want to get density back to that point that even if I lose more hair it will still look ok. But I'm kinda worried about shock loss. I would really like to take action to do something that moves things back in the other direction, not downhill where my hair went since last year. Front now: https://dl2.pushbulletusercontent.com/xnkIWFdsoTwKxIylWDBmB3HJ2aUlJrw6/_20170623_175855.JPG Two years ago: https://dl2.pushbulletusercontent.com/gUgylHXLU7umAjjaGhc6qQCarSDSA4RB/sept_2015_gel.png 7 Years ago: https://dl2.pushbulletusercontent.com/4HcBltJYlmEdakqW7TDoCcfuoxyy4kim/_20170209_204720.JPG Do you think I can get my front dense again, even though I still got hair there?
