Look into hair systems. Undetectable with hair like yours. 

Hello folks. Update number infinity. So I stopped taking most of everything 3 months ago. Ran in to some financial hardship so busting hump to dig out of it. Last month taking Finesteride was May of this year.

I have been occasionally putting black castor oil on the weak spots and using red light (hairmax ultima) along with derma rolling. 

Surprisingly I have maintained. When the money starts rolling in again I will continue with Nutrofol as I do believe it made a difference. Finasteride not so sure, if there is something similar that's not as risky re: sides Id entertain 100% so any suggestions I'm open! My dream is the front fills in...but as I've stated in previous posts hair fiber do wonders.

Getting there. Still a ton of small hairs and growth happening, seemingly slower than last time though. 

Coming back though. 

Was going over some work videos of mine, this is an image from a video that was taken January 20th  🤕

Trucking along. A lot of small hairs that seemingly are thickening again. I started documenting this phase 2/23. 

The front is looking very promising. 

3/2 vs 3/10 I added a green dot for reference as you notice the hairs on the side of my head grow downward.

man I'd love to have that head of hair lol 

I own a drpen which i use on the front and temples but I used s 1.5 roller on my crown as the pen hurt too much and didn't maneuver well.

It's definitely getting better. You have shown not only that it's possible for some people to grow a decent amount of hair back without having a hair transplant, but also that it's not always easy to maintain it over the years.

 

Yeah I've said in this thread a few times the one thing I do well is sticking to the regimen. It can be  annoying because who wants to do some of the ish I do every morning and night and take all of these supplements every day but if I want to see and keep results, I have to be consistent.  I also think if this goes well this might be a relatively good nod toward nanoxidil. I was never really sold on it and unless minox and nanox do oogats similarly, it clearly works. 

Obviously the correct answer is no but asshole's are gonna asshole unfortunately. 

2.5 weeks. I think it's going well.  5 years of doing well and in 2 weeks it all falls out lol g'damnit. 

Thoughts?

2/27/23 vs 3/3/23

What are your thoughts? Looking good for me or nah?

Took a cpl pics with sunlight coming in through window. Already seeing the little white hairs growing back, maybe even more than before? We shall see. I am thinking a full month or so should get a better gauge how they are growing back.

High def close up 2/25 Seeing it come back already  🤞

As always documentation. Just now. This happened in maybe 2 weeks time. I do notice a bunch of small hairs in the front so hopefully on the rebound again.

I started using Minox but of note I am also extremely stressed from work so. I will update again if I see gains from starting nanoxidil few days ago and Nutrafol pills and collagen tomorrow.

I think most of these guys had work done. At some point in all their lives they rocked a shaven head and that was always the marker for me.

So you never got a hair transplant?   

 

Never. although even though I've had great results doing what I've been doing, it's never been an option I completely took off the table.

If anyone cares I'll be trying a new product that's on the way. Read both sides of the story on it but I'm a guinea pig so.... Nutrafol. I shall update on any changes if at all.

Nanoxidil? Interesting id like to try this do you have a link? Is it as safe as min 

I use the spectral dnc n. https://dslaboratories.com/pages/search-results-page?q=nanoxidil

Just wanted to update. I re-ordered nanoxidil but by mistake selected minoxidil. I used it for like a week and hair started to fall out. All that hair on crown and temples above this post is basically thin again. So annoying. 😫 Safe to say I am not using minoxidil again and hopefully the hair grows back using nanoxidil. This isnt a for or against minoxidil just me posting results as they happen. 

Also some great discussions in this thread. It should be stickied IMO. 

Hello all. Just an update. 5 years since my initial post. I stopped derma rolling regularly. Haven't used Minoxidil in a month or 2. I order Nanoxidil by mistake and no difference in hair at all so far.  

I have been drinking horsetail tea which I have read good things about as well for a few months.

This is bed head, woke up brushed teeth took some pics.

Basically proof minoxdil works, looks much better.

Ive also been putting rosemary oil in my shampoos and honestly I think that made a difference.

I also developed tinnitus in my left ear and it was the result of stress as well as loud music. Funny thing is I only have it in one of my ears. Just try to use noise protection ear plugs at concerts, and avoid listening to things tooo loud. Three is no cure for tinnitus and there also isn't a single cause that the doctor will be able to link it to. And minoxidil causing tinnitus is highly unlikely. 

I disagree with the cure thing. I think its probably something like a viral infection or something that has just never been correlated. I've had good results in lowering the pitch with a chiro and magnet therapy. I will agree my stress elevates it 100%. And I am very stressed lately so, both ears too. The pits.
