/Couple of months ago, I started applying minoxidil + finasteride combination topical lotion 1 or 2 days a week, in addition on other 2 to 3 days I use minoxidil spray. I also take daily 0.5mg dutasteride. I am seeing grey hairs which I never had and I am close to 40 years. But my question is if this minoxidil + finasteride combination topical lotion is turning existing hairs into grey hair or it is rejuvenating almost dead hairs into grey hairs. Can someone please answer?

I was norwood7 with fully bald scalp with 50 to 100 hairs remaining. They all went into shock loss and never came back after my first surgery. I had surgeries from 3 different doctors.

I take dustasteride 1 pill - 0.5 mg at night. Yeah doctor prescribed after seeing my 4th transplant results.

I use nizoral too.

I was norwood 7 bald by age of 26. I had 4 transplant surgeries. 1, 2 and 4th of them were failures. Recently I noticed my hairs from third transplant done 5 years ago is shedding. I am worried if I will get back those hairs or not. I take dustasteride 1 mg every day. I also apply minoxidil 1 ml every day once. I use laser helmet for 30 minutes once in 3 days.

Surprised, not a drop of blood came out. Seems that person was using good instrument.

My last transplant was 6 months ago. Will wait for another 4 months before I do beard to scalp transplant. I am not yet finalized on Doctor, so will be checking this forum for the beard to scalp transplant specialist doctor.

I would use beard hair for my next transplant. Thanks gillenator for confirming beard hair is permanent. I plan to get hair transplant done with Eugenix or with Parsa Mohebi if going to India is not safe due to corona cases. I feel both of them do transplant in same style.

I feel he just needs around 5000 grafts for full coverage. I feel a transplant upto mid scalp is still possible using scalp froM safe zone and beard. I am curious Why is this not an option? I myself was grade 7 bald to begin with. I have now got hair till mid scalp.

I have done 4 hair transplants. I believe my donor supply is exhausted. I want to know if its better to use nape hair instead of beard hair. I have a some degree of retrograde alopecia. But in terms of permanence which one is better. Which one survives longer? Does nape hair grafts have more than 1 follicle? I feel if nape hair is viable nearly every nape hair can be harvested.

Please also factor hairs will go into telogen phase in every 3 to 4 years. Some percentage of hairs will always be dormant. So your hair density looks lower after a year. I would recommend not to opt for minimum possible density to achieve best cosmetic result. Atleast 25% more than minimum possible density.

Hi Gillenator, I was thinking nobody responded to my post, then immediately you responded.

Since I cannot work out for a month after hair transplant, I always used to work out a lot a day before surgery.

I had 4th hair transplant of 1984 grafts implanted, almost 6 months ago. This is my 3rd FUT and second hair transplant with Dr Diep. Grafts were implanted on mid scalp and crown. Hair were transplanted on a wider area. Results are far from spectacular. But I have seen single hair grafts around 40% has grown to about 1 inch. I have not yet observed 2 hair grafts growing. I checked my photos taken after transplant, I see majority of them were single hair grafts. But 20% of them were 2 hair grafts. Not sure if there were any 3/4 hair grafts planted. My question is how long will it take for 2nd or 3rd hair in a graft to grow.
