45 months on the big 3 and counting... (45month pics update)

Hello SE-freak.

Have you always had hair in that area? Or has it grow due of minoxidil?

I am having unwanted hair growth in that area, that grew due of minoxidil.

Has it become worse? DO you shave that area?

 

[SE-freak]

hello there.

No it has not become worse, I think I always had some growth there but minoxidil made those hairs a bit more pigmented. I do not think it is noticeable(it might show up a bit worse in that pic) but in any case, nothing a mild bleaching cream cannot fix.

I been doing a handstand every night for about a week. I do 10 sets of 1 minute, taking a 30 second break between each set. I'm goin to inform you guys in three months if I see any good results.

SE-freak,

Sorry if you've already explained this, but where exactly are u applying minoxidil? It looked like pretty much the whole top of your head was thinning... were u applying it all over or just maybe the front and crown?

SE-Freak,

I have to say your results are as good as I've ever seen or heard of. They're absolutely amazing.

With that having been said, I'm sure you're aware that with the next 5 or so years, there's a great possibility that Hair Multiplication/Cloning will become available. When it is, will you continue with you regimen that has been so succesful or will you opt for the HM procedure?

If I had the success that you've had, I think I might stick to the regimen. Have you decided yet on what you'll do??

Hm... Not sure if it will make any difference. Why dont you just pump some blood in the area using the SE instead? (if you really think that hairloss is due to insufficient circulation that is).

Please do inform us though.

kalbo:

I have been applying minoxidil in the areas that were thinning, the front(temple area) and the vertex area only. minoxidil diffuses into the skin so it affects a significantly larget area than that of the application.

 

[SE-freak]

were u apllying 1ml all over ur head twice a day SE-Freak?

what do u think u owe ur improvement to??

Yes 1ml x2. Not all over my head- just thinning areas.

When you start on a multitreatment regimen you cannot tell what is helping most. I started seeing results since month 2, so one safe conclusion would be that I am a good responder to minoxidil. Who knows...

Hey Ed

There is no way I am using surgery as long as my regimen gives fruits. Not changing a single thing. Even if the regimen fails me, there is always the option of going bald gracefully-and naturally as opposed to any procedure.

HM sounds good though. Always good to have options- keeps hair loss "press" from crushing your mind.

 

[SE-freak]

just a quick peek:

Hair is black and dense as it shows in the pics. It is really short here and there is no comb-over in the frontal hairline, my hair's direction is that way and it is buzzed really short.

There is some asymmetry in my hairline but it is constantly improving as my temples are moving south.

vertex is almost perfectly full.(i took a pic and it turned out completely black in that area)

SE Freak....... they are some of the best results i have ever seen, well done. I am just staring a new regime after Advanced Hair Studio did nothing for me. I have just got some 5% minoxidil and am going to use it twice daily. But i am interested in " finasteride ", where do you get yours from and how much is it and do you split it into quarters and take one daily?? Finally what sort of scalp Exercise's do you do? Cheers mate

 

[SE-freak]

hey Bob,

I am buying my proscar from a local pharmacy with no prescription (I live in Greece) and I split it in fifths. Not much of a hassle. The split proscar route is the sh*t.

Woho...Are you sure you lost hair ever . Looks unbelievably awesome.

Question: You had been shedding a lot once, I remember. Any idea how much you were losing? I have been going through a minoxidil shed since 10th June almost a month in now and losing 100+ hairs which has now come down to 60 hairs since the past few days.

That said my hair looks much darker probably thicker. I have black hair like yours. So I am wondering whether to stop minoxidil or continue with it ?

I was shedding tremendous numbers of hairs daily. I remember counting 600+ shafts during the first days of my minoxidil shed. I used to pat my head and my sink was instantly getting a hairstyle. After 2 weeks it stopped. Completely. For several months I seemed to not lose a single hair no matter how hard I pulled. Then during the 8 months mark(i think) I started shedding very lightly again, and it continues up to this day. The quality(thickness) of the hairs I shed is a tad worse than my default.

Very normal and to be expected. You seem to be a responder to minoxidil. And your shed is calming down too.

That said my hair looks much darker probably thicker. I have black hair like yours. So I am wondering whether to stop minoxidil or continue with it ?

Why stop? because of the shed??? no! It is a good sign. minoxidil use has already kickstarted a new cycle for many of your "lazy" follicles. Chances are that better days are coming for your fur.

Are you only using minoxidil? Update your regimen if ya don't mind, will ya?

 

[SE-freak]

You have obviously not read the first post of this thread, have ya?

 

[hairhaircomeagain]

600+...f*** dude you must be kidding me.
But really dude, lookin at your results I feel better I am shedding too. Although I am only on minoxidil even though proscar is sitting on my desk right now. I wanted the minoxidil shedding to stop before starting Proscar so that I do not shed too much. I think I will just look at you as an example and forget worrying about the shedding.

Thanks dude. With all the hair you have you must be getting some with those Greek chicks. Man I have seen some here and they are so fuckin HOTTTTTT
