All of you guys are wrong, that’s his hair from the hair transplants. He wears hair loss concealer, so these pictures were taken without the hair loss concealers. 

You guys have to remember, he was a Norwood 5 by 25, he’s now going on 35. He’s had two surgeries with a maximum of 3,500 grafts. That’s how 3,500 grafts will look on a Norwood 6, which he would’ve been by now.

He would have no hair left on his head without hair transplants. He can always have another hair transplant with a better doctor. I’m sure he will when he retires.

Spot on 

Bad news you are starting to recede, good news your hair is very healthy and your recession is very minimal, start on meds now, you won’t go bald anytime soon

Do NOT have  transplant, you are diffuse thinning, you will go bald at a rate of knots if you do, stay on the meds and the minx wit at least a few years

Your hair is fine, do not have a hair transplant trust me leave it alone 

The truth is no you will not regrow any hair, you will just prolong what you have, that’s why it’s called a preventative medication if it regrew hair it would be a cure and that just does not exist for hairloss

You ask the chances of the miniaturised hair growing back, you have 0 chance, finasteride will maintain what you have it will not and does not regrow hair that has gone through miniaturisation, the only way is to replace hair that is lost

i take pictures of my scalp every 12 months, and I can see the last 2 years it doesn’t look at thick at crown

I’ll be honest with you, your hairline is receding not maturing, also the top of your head and crown looks like it’s thinning, your be bald before your 30 unless you get on medication asap

This is not TE, TE presents itself as thinning all over the scalp, I can clearly see your hair is balding I suspected DUPA or MPB

I have started taken this after a long time using Propecia, reason for the switch is I felt Propecia was starting to wear off, I just wanted to know if anyone taking this has noticed there hair is less oily? I had loads of sebum production on my scalp but this seems to have helped alot

You need to drop the nizoral it causes big shedding and dry scalp

I see thinning in your crown, but that does not men your go bald soon, look into getting on medication asap

Personally I don’t see dut doing much for you, your balding is quite advanced, Let us know how you get on tho

Do not take these 2 medications together, it’s not recommended and you will potentially get bad side effects, bitch tits being one of them 

The only dose you should be taking is the recommended dose, 1mg per day, simple as that

Because I don't take Propecia, and this long-time member has been very open about his long-term finasteride usage. Therefore, he would be the best person to answer this question.

Not really, he states he’s been on it for 10 years, many here including myself have been on it over 20 years, very judgemental, but as you were

Never had any transplants in the crown.  That's all meds.

That’s good to hear, I’ve never seen a great transplant in the crown, you done the right thing holding off there, I personally think 1mg has its limits after around 5-10 years

No, are you trying to be sarcastic? 

Just wondered why you didn’t state your history of use with Propecia? Instead or referring to another member?

deffo slowed down my loss, recently switched to dut as feel crown getting thinner, I think Propecia deffo has a time limit then your body gets used to it

Like Damifino, I started using Propecia in 1999. Never experienced side effects other than hair retention.  I honestly believe I would not have what I have today had it not been for both, the combination of transplants and medical therapy. My belief and approach has never wavered.  There is more testosterone with the meds than without so I''ll perform better.  

My grandfather and other family members are class 20. I've remained a 5 but with hair.

You don’t count, you have had surgery, how could it be possible to judge what you have held onto?

@Spanker has been on finasteride for over 10 years, I believe he hasn’t noticed any issues. The goal of medicine is to maintain your hair, rarely does it grow back hair, and if it does not in a significant amount. That’s what surgery is for. 

Are you spanker’s spokesman?
