Think my post got deleted. When do you apply this? After a shower with normal shampoo, before you style your hair?

Hey guys Just wanted to ask what kind of products people use? I've noticed a few threads but nothing recent. The problem I have at the moment is that most products clump hairs together and leave my scalp exposed. Any recommendations would be helpful.

Thanks for the reply guys. My only reservation about increasing the dose is that if studies showed that 0.5mg is 80% effective then I can't see 1mg suddenly being effective. To be fair I've taken 1.5 months' worth of the normal dose (3 months of 0.5mg) so it's probably still early days...

Think my previous message got deleted. Yep young! 25, soon to be 26. Probably II from the front and IV from the back.

Hi all Been on finasteride 0.5mg daily for three months now. I didn't expect to make any progress with regrowth by now, although I would have hoped it would have some impact on slowing the loss. However it hasn't. I tried growing my hair longer but that hasn't helped and if anything I think it's...

Definitely. If I went into this not having read all of the scary stuff I probably wouldn't have noticed. But I was checking daily out of paranoia to see if everything was still working down there!

Right guys I've been on 0.5mg for a few weeks now. Initially low libido but I think it's near to normal now. Do I risk going up to 1mg? No results yet but obviously way too soon.

I thing I don't understand though. Three of my older brothers, two in their 30s, and one in his 40s, all have a full head of hair, especially around the crown. Dad had a full head well into his 50s/early 60s. No history on my mum's side either.

I guess you guys are right. To me it was sex life vs hair which isn't a contest. However, if the chances of side effects are really that low, then it would be silly not to.

Still have the pills and am yet to take my first dose as I cannot escape feeling anxious about the side effects. I don't know what to do.

OK will try that! Was reading about the risk of impotence last night and it scare the hell out of me! - - - Updated - - - Guys the more I read about it the more anxious I become about the potential sides. A loss of sex drive and ability to get erect at full strength is concerning. Although I...

Thanks guys. It's just I'm a just little afraid of the shredding and making it worse to begin with. I thought the normal treatment is regaine which is a little costly. Would I only apply it to the crown? Edit: I've also seen this written: "Regular use is required to maintain hair growth. If...

Purely from what I've read. I thought a dose that size would bring the same benefits as 1mg, but lessen the sides (although this may be based slightly more on people's experiences then clinical data). I'm open to suggestions of course. Yeah I always get comments saying the rest is thick...

Hi all I won't bore you with the long introduction. My story is the same. Hair started thinning with a slight receding hairline a few years ago, was sort of in denial as I didn't want to accept it. So didn't do anything about it. I'm on the wrong side of my 25 and think I should take some...

CT Fletcher, is that you?
