Its a no brainer...in my opinion. H&W

Use the find function and enter Norwood Hair loss scale. Or alternatively Google the above.

Looks like a job well done to me. You seem to be unwilling to see anything positive happening here. I think at the end of the day you are going to be your own worst critic, but if i had your head of hair i,d have a smile on my face bigger than the Joker. Just keep doing what your doing.

That lady obviously has not heard of the big 3 for Hairloss: 1. Proscar 2. Minoxidil 3. Nizoral Listed in order of possible effectiveness, but far better to combine all 3 to cover all angles.

I do not think it will make the slightest difference if you start now or wait until the Proscar arrives. Not to sure about the shampoo. Why not give Nizoral a go, this is shampoo also which may have some effect against hairloss. You will need to give all of these meds at least a year to gauge their effectiveness.

Just google the actors name and you will find plenty of old and recent photographs. Looks good on him whatever it is.

Good for him.

Yeh, there is quite a difference there. You must be a good responder. Do you have any loss at the hair line if so have you noticed any difference there?. All the best dabuski

Gotta agree with u on the price of surgery. Im pretty sure the patient advocates on here will say taking into account skill,time,techs,overheads etc ,it is good value for money, when u break a surgery down into its individual parts. I often hear PLAN for future surgery requirements ,all very well n good if your a single fella with no family commitments. I wonder how many have undergone procedures and basically lumbered them selves with a substantial debt at the end of the day,many of whom i would imagine post on here. Its a shame the cost is not more accessible to the more average Joe where there most certainly would await a vast untapped source of business to the clinics willing to lower rates..

Like anything in life u pay for what u get.

At the rate that dudes hair was growing back,he probably cant find the keyboard on his computer due to that jungle like fringe hes sporting.

Hi 2B, the fact that u are comfortable with your baldness is great. If what you say about your donor and hair characteristics is correct then u stand a good chance of creating the illusion of hair once again in your balding areas. How u choose to recreate a hairline and additional coverage should be down to consultation with your self and your chosen surgeon. Because of your level of baldness, good donor and hair characteristics are everything as is a realistic attitude to what can be achieved via HT surgery. If your comfortable with your lot why not wait for future developments for cures. You could also just revert back to NOT REALLY CARING as u stated at the beginning of your post. Whatever your chosen path ,best of luck. Dabuski

Anyone been brave enough to give this a try?. Cured any new updates to add?.

As a matter of interest on this post ,i have a twin brother who smokes like a chimney who also has lost hair. We both began to loose in our early teens and now are in our late thirties. I do not smoke. I still have most of my frontal region, around Norwood 3 with no crown loss. He is i would estimate around Norwood 4. Now this could possibly be due to either genetic makeup or lifestyle differences.

In an industry were so many have been subjected to poor and disfiguring work ,i would like to give my vote for the recommendation of Dr Umar. His unique approach to HT surgery offers a definite path to corrective options for poorly performed procedures.

One point I was thinking of though was the fact that if I understand Hair Loss correctly it is caused by the DHT in the scalp killing/choking the hairs. DHT is a product of the body converting testosterone. You would think that if the drug worked all through my 20's and into my early 30's, then it would continue working as it was or have an easier time working as testosterone decreases past 30 in men. It would seem to me the drug would have less DHT conversion to block and therefore work as good or better. Just my own incoherent thoughts.. :0) Yeh Kal the deeper mysteries of Hairloss eh? What your saying makes sense ,you would think that if you made it through the early high testosterone days then it should be fairly maintainable any Hairloss. Go figure?.

Sounds like a good plan to me. There is no one understands your body better than yourself and how it feels on any given day.

I think its only natural anyone embarking on a Finasteride or Minoxidil program to hope for instant results, or see things that are inconsequential in the greater scheme of things. I would give this drug at least a year of use before you asses if it has worked for you. Remember if it halts your Hair loss then its a job well done, if you have regrowth then its the icing on the cake.

Say no more mate. Will never forget the fist time i saw One Million years BC!

George which clinic are you referring to?.

Well put Bill.

The original post of this thread states that Minox was used at the start of Cureds hair loss to no great effect.

Post some photographs of your results and it will gain ACCEPTANCE through actual proof. There is a gulf of difference between CLAIM and FACT.

Without any photographic evidence, this means nothing. If it is indeed how it is put across then photographs would be the icing on the cake. A person can easily angle their head to maintain any anonymity in order to post before and after pictures (if this is the reluctance here).

Do you have no photographs of your own to back up these claims?. Surely this would encourage those who would be willing to try if there were evidence to the fact. I would encourage you to do this and not others as you are the one trailblazing this personal experience.
