I also do a lot of research so I know Avodart is not FDA approved for hairloss and the long term side effects are not know because they do not know the long lasting results of blocking both types of DHT. Any advise would help

Whoops it has been a long morning I mean DO the same thing.

I have a question. I am 25 years old and I am about a nw 2. Hair loss only runs in my dads side of the family, and my Dad is about 50 and is a NW 4 but with no crown loss, just receding hairline. I have been on avodart for about a year and a few months. I think my hair loss has stayed about the same maybe lost a little. I was thinking about adding propecia every other day to this regiment as I heard people who have taken both alternating are getting pretty good results.. Or should i stop avodart and take just propecia. My Doc prescibed Avodart about a year ago because he had seen better response out of it from his hair loss clients. What do you recommend I should do? I am also using Rogaine 5% which seems to help... Thanks any help would be appreciated.

Thank you guys.. I guess I just always hoped not to be facing receding hair lines and mild thinning in the front until I was at least 30, but hey cannot fight genetics. For most of you what would you say is the average time it take someone with hair like myself to go from a NW2 to a NW3?

my left side slicked back and up damp

better pics with my hair damp and slicked back

Hey guys thank you for the warm welcome. I will take some better pics. I have become a pro at styling my hair so it is barely noticeable, however, when it has no product in it and a recent shampoo I assure I am a solid NW2. I was actually taking both avodart and propecia for about a year, then I just recently stopped the propecia. I stopped the propecia because I did not experience bad sheds and was getting decent results. Would you guys recommend propecia? Hair loss sucks that is all I have to say. How old were most of you when you were a NW2?

ahlender, Welcome to our community. The photos you posted would make impressive "after" photos. In fact they could almost get you kicked off this forum :-) I agree that you really should not consider a hair transplant at this point. But that's not to say that some surgeons wouldn't give you one. You've got a great treatment routine in place. Now get out there and enjoy your great hairline and youth while you have both. Pat

does Hasson and Wong use FUE or only Bernstein?

I will try and take some better photos, what do you think is a good age for an HT? 27 or 30 or??

the pic above was from 1 year ago, here is a pic from the other day

I am currently on Avodart and rogaine, and I have been slowly receding at the temples and very mild thinning in the front. My grandfather on both sides did not start losing their hair until about 30 and they only got to about a NW4 by the age of 60, then nothing further. My father was about a NW 3 by the time he was 33 and then got a hair transplant. I know I will realistically never go further than a NW3 to maybe a NW4 based on my genetics. I am a slight NW2 right now. I will be 25 in a couple weeks, when do you think a hair transplant is in order. I have the funds to do it and would like to do it before my hair loss becomes to noticeable. I would love to hear your guys advice? I have been on Avodart for about 10 months and it has slowed down the process by not obviously stopped it. here is a pic

IS THERE ANYONE IS THERE 20'S THAT IS ON AVODART/DUT?" i HAVE BEEN ON IT FOR 5 MONTHS AND THE SHEDDING HAS STOPPED AND I BELEIVE MY HAIR IS STARTING TO RECOUP AND COME BACK. I THINK MY LOSS HAIR HAS SLOWED DOWN OR STOPPED. WHAT IS EVERYONE'S OPINION ON AVODART/DUT?

AM 24 YEARS OLD AND NOTICED MY HAIR SLIGHTLY THINNING AROUND 21 JUST IN THE TEMPLE AREAS. MY FATHER HIT ABOUT A NW 3 OR 4 AT ABOUT 40. I AM VERY ATTACHED TO MY HAIR AS MOST OF US ARE. I HAVE BEING SLOWLY RECEDING AT THE TEMPLY AREAS FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS NOW. NO HUGES LOSSES JUST REAL SLOW. ABOUT 5 MONTHS AGO I STARTED AVODART AND ROGAINE. ABOUT 2 TO 3 MONTHS IN I HAD A SOLID 2 MONTHS OF SHEDDING. NOT A HUGE SHED BUT QUITE A BIT WHERE I REALLY NOTICED. THIS LAST MONTH MY HAIR LOSS AND SHEDDING HAS CEASED. I MAYBE LOSE 1 TO 4 HAIRS A DAY IN THE SHOWER. I really want to get a HT but I think it is too early. I HAVE HEARD SO MANY BAD RESPONSES FROM YOUNG GUYS USING AVODART/DUTAS SHOULD I STOP? HAS ANYONE YOUNG HAD GOOD RESULTS? MY HAIR IS SEEMING TO GET THICKER AND THE LOSS HAS CEASED, WHAT SHOULD I DO? SHOULD I SWITCH TO PROPECIA?
