Topical Minoxidil is just as good. If you are balding from androgen alopecia, and you combine it with Finasteride (Propecia), you definitely will get good results.

Your hair regrowth is impressive. You were a Norwood five/six. In fact it's f*****g incredible. That said, before treatment you did have a smaller percentage of terminal (growing) hair that wasn't scarred over. Before any treatment, your hairline and vertex probably had around 10-20% of...

A person that has permanent hair loss from androgen alopecia cannot regain their hair. I know this is true, because some of my older transgender friends (male to female) have this issue. I used topical estrogen for my hair loss at one point. I quit doing that because the doctor's told me it was...

Are you transgender? I am just wondering because you are using Spirolactane, which reduces testosterone levels in men. I am sure the formula you are using is working for your hair, but it is extreme for androgen alopecia. Usually Finasteride is the only thing needed, and only one milligram...

Testosterone does not hurt hair. Only DHT does. A man who has no DHT, but a lot of testosterone will never have androgen alopecia. That doesn't mean he won't lose hair due to aging, or other health issues.

What studies?

Our bodies just produce a lot of DHT during puberty, but that goes down after that. It is possible that had a temporary effect on your hairline. You're not delusional. Asking questions is a sign of intelligence. The truth is you know your own hair better than anybody else. Let me explain. You...

I'm not sure I really understand what their concern is. Is it taking hormones, or being binary? It's your life. Do whatever makes you happy.

It's rare for someone to lose a lot of hair from androgen alopecia at a young age, although it does occur, it's probably less than ten percent of men. The only thing that really stops it is anti DHT medications such as Finasteride. I would really have reservations about taking anything...

Your parents are assholes. I would never tell my kids what to do with their appearance. Tell them it's your appearance, and it's none of their business. I'm not as nice, I because if they were my parents, I would tell them to go f*ck themselves. Some people shouldn't have kids. You should...

Why are you even taking Monixidil tables if you're taking Dustasteride? Doesn't make sense at all. You should fire your doctor, because he/she is giving you bad advice. Probably just trying to make money off you.

I give 20%. I usually don't even cut my hair until after months, and it's obvious that I haven't. (Hair over ears, poofy hair on top, just a mess). That said, if they gave you shitty quick service, make it less (10%, or less). It should reflect the value that you requested/think it is. Same if...

Just visit a doctor. None of us are qualified to answer your questions. Visiting a good doctor will put your mind at ease. My son did it, and found out he was balding (I thought he was, my wife's side is even worse than mine). That said, it's really binary. You've already gone through...

I have between a Norwood 2/3 density and I am the same age as @Brownbeaver. It is possible to regain a lot of hair, but it is an individual's choice.
