Hi , first of all, English is not my native language so excuse me for the mistakes to come.
I'm 23 , started to thin back then in the army, around 20 , but still have a nice amount of hair.
Since 1 year I started treatment after my hair dresser made me realize that I'm thinning back there. I hesitated a lot but in the end jumped on finasteride , about 1.25 mg EOD , since I guessed I will keep the efficiency but could also higher the dose once things get worse.
In the beginning everything was great , shedding had stopped I got some thickening in the vertex, but after about 6 month, exam period began and I started to shed some more so I upped my dose to 1.25 a day.
I had some minor sides in the beginning, a little libido decrease that increased short after, a little testicle pain that stopped after 2 weeks. Its amazing that when the libido came back to normal I felt finasteride was less effective.
Recently I added some nizoral 2%( which makes me shed sometimes ) every 2 days ,in between some sls free shampoo, I put some aloe vera gel on my scalp everyday and sometimes olive oil , they both feel great on my scalp.
I also checked my hormones levels and my T is very high, all the other markers are normal except my prolactin is also much above the normal level.
I eat healthy food - lots of veg and fruits, flaxseeds, omega 3 , green tea , soy beans ..
I'm really fit, workout almost every day , finasteride is helping my muscle grow much faster .
Anyway, here is some recent photos, my vertex is better than 1 year ago.
For conclusion
Nizoral – after 2 month it looks like its thickening not only cosmetically
finasteride – I don't really have sides, it's cheap, and I think it's maintaining for me
Aloe vera- I think it's helping me a lot.
Any ideas will be great I'm open minded and willing to try new things.
Thanks alot I'm learning alot reading your posts here,
