Senior Member rev333 Posted January 15, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted January 15, 2014 My situation is a bit unique to me, being military and having to deploy often, making such a ritual largely unsustainable for me. If Fin isn't enough or doesn't agree with you, or is ineffective altogether, and you don't consider Minoxidil too much of a hassle, then all the more power to you. Hooah!

Senior Member Spanker Posted January 15, 2014 Author Senior Member Share Posted January 15, 2014 My situation is a bit unique to me, being military and having to deploy often, making such a ritual largely unsustainable for me. If Fin isn't enough or doesn't agree with you, or is ineffective altogether, and you don't consider Minoxidil too much of a hassle, then all the more power to you. I could see this as an issue. I'm not sure how long you are on ship, but one bottle the size of a small mousse can lasts me probably over a month, so I would think you COULD do it if you wanted to, but I understand those that chose not to.

Senior Member Spanker Posted June 3, 2014 Author Senior Member Share Posted June 3, 2014 (edited) Due for my 6 month check in on this thread. It still looks good. Not really looking for opinions, but just using this thread as documentation for me and others. Been on 3 years and 10 months still I started finasteride and still holding strong (Although I am experiencing some minor retrograde alopecia and am battling a shed right now, possibly due to stress from job change or surgery that I recently had under general anesthesia). My part there is actually on a CVG strip but with enough hair, you still can't really tell. Overall, I am pleased with how I am holding out. (I can also see myself going grey more and more as the thread progresses. It has been 3 years and 10 months since I started the thread. imgur: the simple image sharer Edited June 3, 2014 by Spanker I am an online representative for Dr. Raymond Konior who is an elite member of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians.

Senior Member Spanker Posted March 28, 2015 Author Senior Member Share Posted March 28, 2015 Well, it's kind of apples to oranges because my hair is much longer but my crown is still holding pretty strong 4 years and 7 months after starting fin. I'll update in another year. I am an online representative for Dr. Raymond Konior who is an elite member of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians.

Senior Member Spanker Posted April 22, 2016 Author Senior Member Share Posted April 22, 2016 So it has been 5 years and 7 months since I started this thread. As I said earlier, I am using this thread to document my hair loss battle in the the crown only. I only look at my crown once every 6 months or more because I don't need anything else to obsess about. Being obviously prone to MPB with hairline issues and getting a transplant, my crown is a concern too so I do use meds including finasteride and minox for about 5 years and 8 months and with minoxidil for about 4 years with crown use as well. While I don't think I have teenage density there, overall I am very happy with the maintenance I have been able to obtain on on medication. I am on generic finasteride from Walmart and equate minoxidil. I have considered moving to brand proscar but I'm not sure. I'll update this thread in another 6 months to year.

Senior Member OtherSyde Posted April 23, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted April 23, 2016 Yeah man, your crown is on fleek (as the young kids say these days), and your hairline makes me want to go back for more!
