Senior Member MyNameIsRich Posted October 7, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted October 7, 2011 Hey again.I posted a thread around a month ago, can be viewed here: ...... http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/162899-ok-here-we-go-my-story-so-far-pictures.html ....Since then I have moved from the UK to Australia (no idea how long I will be here for/when and if i'll return to the UK) however, I seem to have lost a shit ton of hair since then, or maybe its just that i never noticed before? The place where I'm staying has pretty revealing lighting in the bathroom, lights on or off the room radiates light.. id never seen my hair look this thin before. anyways, heres some pictures, direct from showering and ive used a hair brush to demonstrate what i mean... my hair seems to be completely thinning out all over the top, which is a terrifying worry going from what i thought was just a slowly receding hairline... And a view from the top, with my hair resting in all directions... now my hair is longer that it usually is, and ive always had thin crappy hair but, it shouldnt be looking like this should it? its funny how in my last thread people were laughing at me and my 'hair loss' but now in just under a month later its a completely different picture, or am i just going insane? please gimme your views Click to check my hair blog.

Senior Member RCWest Posted October 7, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted October 7, 2011 OK, yeah something IS going on there. Your pics from last month looked good. These pics are very revealing. Time to jump on Finasteride, IMO. Give it 6 months to a year and see where you are then. You can add Minoxidil now or see where you are in a year with Finasteride before you start. Being as young as you are I believe the Finasteride would be a big benefit. Finasteride 1.25 mg. daily Avodart 0.5 mg. daily Spironolactone 50 mg twice daily 5 mg. oral Minoxidil twice daily Biotin 1000 mcg daily Multi Vitamin daily Damn, with all the stuff you put in your hair are you like a negative NW1?

Senior Member hairthere Posted October 7, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted October 7, 2011 The dreaded overhead shot....that's how I realized I was thinning diffusely too. You are definitely experiencing the early signs of MPB. On the bright side, your hair styled properly looks fine. I'd keep it a bit shorter and as RCwest recommended, give the meds a shot. And in the meantime start saving for a HT down the road. You could also try the buzzed look. I did that for a few years when I started thinning and it actually had me worrying about my hairloss much less. Then I grew sick of the look and wanted some options so I started down the long HT path.

Senior Member MyNameIsRich Posted October 7, 2011 Author Senior Member Share Posted October 7, 2011 ive ordered Rogaine (3 months worth) and am consulting a hair clinic in 7 days time... ill be getting propecia then, and will take both hoping that there are no side effects. supposing i stay on the drug, is it likely that it will thicken out the thinning all over and restore my hair (not including hairline) to its previous thicker state?

Senior Member hairthere Posted October 7, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted October 7, 2011 Tough to say, but it's certainly possible. The younger you are, the better you'll respond to the meds, imo. I have seen some guys in their 20s regrow their hair. It seems like 30-somethings and up maintain what they have.

Senior Member MyNameIsRich Posted October 7, 2011 Author Senior Member Share Posted October 7, 2011 Ill take one tomorrow after i shower as i have dermmatch in my hair... could dermmatch be causing hair to shed also? i guess friday at the clinic will give me the answers but, im just trying to get a bit of vision at this stage. i really do appreciate your responses in this thread, btw Click to check my hair blog.

Regular Member Ireland78 Posted October 9, 2011 Regular Member Share Posted October 9, 2011 On the bright side it is probably not as thin as it looks as it will be soaking after getting out of the shower. Will look far better when dry and styled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will look far better when dry and styled. Yeah, definitely not, and i use dermmatch if im really insecure about it on the day, but theres not really an upside to 'hmm, i think my hairs thinning out all over on the top?' is there. Yeah, I'm just gonna see what friday brings but im not gonna lose against this. propecia and rogaine, and HT as soon as needed. hopefully my hairloss wont be too awful as my dads generally isnt, just thinned out on top. And I'll get that crown photo up later Click to check my hair blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
