hey man..I would definitely start looking into propecia and rogaine..propecia essentially stops hair loss in most men and rogaine stimulates new growth. However, propecia is about $70 a month (quite expensive but it works!) and rogaine I believe is only about $10 a month or so. The only thing about these products is that yes they work, but it's my understanding that once you start them your hair becomes pretty dependant upon them and therefore if you stop using em you will quickly go back to where you were if not worse..so it's pretty much a lifelong committment. Another thing though, and I know you probably like keeping your hair long, is that you might want to consider keeping your hair shorter. From personal experience, I have noticed that when my hair is shorter (but not shaved or too short) it definitely looks more full and healthier. When you grow it out especially as long as you have it it seems to get thinner and more stringy...hope this helps!
