update:
I've been experiencing some shed this past week and i think i have an idea y this is happening to me
1- I used to put liquid minoxidil all over my scalp when my hair was short now i only put liquid min on the vertex and rogaine foam on the hairline and since my hair is longer now i think my scalp isnt absorbing all of the minoxidil or simply because rogaine foam sucks..
2- I've started taking finasteride last week.. thank GOD so far no side effects (sexualy)
3- I've been working really hard this week that sometimes i skip meals and stay hungry all day and just eat dinner and go to sleep extremely tired.
4- I've been under alot of stress lately like my Job, my relationship, loss of appetite sometimes although my stomach would be like I WANT FOOOOOD..
so any ideas guys.. has anyone ever been in a similar situation like mine..do u think stress is doing that to me ?

interesting... you should really stick to what was originally working for you. adding foam may have been an unsettling move. either drop foam completely now or continue it because switching between foam and liquid often causes massive sheds. so now uve started it may just get slightly worse before ur head gets used to foam and then gets better. just a thought.... mabye?

Id go with foam, nizoral and finasteride.
From a fresh eyes perspective your progress was huge and you barely have any hair loss now, don't think about your hair so much, Don't even buzz it, get a good hair style, you have a solid hairline, I think you should just get some bangs, get a style and then let your hair relax to bring your hairline a few inches further.
You have the Hairline of my sister's boyfriend, she doesn't even notice it and I only noticed it when he buzzed his head.. barely.
Don't go giving up for personal reasons.. that's everyone's excuse, applying this stuff is no worse then brushing your teeth in the morning.

ok guys..i used liquid minoxidil for 4-5 months (i saw some improvement) then rogaine foam for 1 month (fucked up my hairline) now ur telling me that my hairline is better right...it is supposed to be waaaay better than this..my conclusion is STICK TO WHAT'S WORKING FOR YOU..
my plan is to buzz my hair every 6 months..its kinda like a cycle..i hate going through shedding so i guess mine is probably every 6 months..its easier to apply liquid min that way and do a scalp massage with oils (everyday)..
thx for the comments guys..later

Hey guys its me again, I have a problem. I was thinking maybe I should post this on a different thread but what the heck, my problem is CONSISTANCY. I usualy keep my hair short for the first 3-4 months while using min + finasteride + nizoral which is pretty good..I put min all over my head very easily twice everyday. I do see results, I know that it works for me, my hair gets thicker and the spots with no hair get filled..the problem starts after 3-4 months I let it grow longer so I could style it I try not to use styling gels and mousse as much. The thing is I can't put min all over my head and I can't put it in the morning b4 I go to work, liquid minoxidil doesn't work with longer hair so I tend to use it less and less, then I start losing hair again.
Any ideas guys on how to deal with my problem..
