Keep up with treatments, and grow it out!

Lookin' good, man.

I think Aplunk1 is spot on here. Another year and you can put all this sh*t behind you.

 

[ANDREW_J_I]

thanks for ur comments guys. this website has helped me alot.

my hairs have started falling out tho now. shorter thin ones. up to a few days ago i cudnt get one hair out.

 

[Guest]

Andrew, your hair looks much better longer than shorter. Grow it out for another couple months and your hair loss will be a lot less visible.

 

[ANDREW_J_I]

^cheers. its unlikely the treatment has done anything so early on isn't it?

its only been two months.

 

[CCS]

you look good buzzed, but it is obvious you are balding. try a very gentle die for the top, but one that won't come off with SOD's or rogaine.

Or maybe even put toppik on top, but that is pricy. I guess the die will come grow out too fast, unless you have a cheap shampoo die combo.

Growing out the top 1/2 inch and buzzing the sides to 1/4 inch might look better. You would just need to fade them. You will probably mess it up the first 3 times, but it is easy with experience. Better than paying $15. The buzzers cause $15. And at that length, you could die it once a week, and your roots are not that light yet. but no bleack or harsh dies.

 

[ANDREW_J_I]

^y are they light? is it to do with my hair being so dry?

also, my pics on page 7 my hair is not far off an inch now. is that the pics u are talking about?

i think its the fact im washing my hair every day, my scalp is bout 10x more healthy, but my hair isawfully dry. my tricologist said for me to wash it every day to avoid unwanted grease, so i have done everyday now for 2 months.

 

[CCS]

oh, I had not seen the inch long hair pics. you don't look bald in them at all, except from top view i can see the nw5 pattern a bit. just keep it that length. looks great. just give the meds time, and use as much of the combo i suggested in other threads as you can easily afford. you'll regrow your hair.

 

[ANDREW_J_I]

oh. yeh, those pics are the 2month ones on page 7, then theres 5 week ones on a couple pages before that, and the page one are baseline pics.

thanks for ur rply mate. yeh im going to be patient. il keep posting my pics every month tho. i have never missed a minoxidil application, but i have taken two finasteride tablets 12 hrs late, which isnt a big deal.

cheers.

 

[ANDREW_J_I]

wud smaller thinner hairs cummin off when im applying minoxidil suggest possibly a good shed?

 

[TAINTED-MEAT]

How many are you losing? I usually lose about 80-100 when I put the minoxidil in. My hair has been looking really bad the last couple of months.

 

[ANDREW_J_I]

^how long u been on minoxidil? u on propecia too?

not sure how many but they shorter than other hairs on my head and thin.

i itched my head loads when i was asleep las night.

 

[CCS]

an SOD will stop the itch. Tricomin is by far the best for that, followed by AC spray, and then folligen won't help the itch that much, I heard, but it is extreamly cheap and will make your scalp healthy.

 

[ANDREW_J_I]

^cheers college.

i may leave it for abit, its just when im asleep, if i start itching i dont stop. it only happens every once in awhile.

 

[TAINTED-MEAT]

^how long u been on minoxidil? u on propecia too?

not sure how many but they shorter than other hairs on my head and thin.

i itched my head loads when i was asleep las night.

I've been using minoxidil on my temples for over a year. However, early July I started putting it all over my head because I noticed some hardcore thinning.

I started propecia about when you did, but I switched to Avodart a few days ago because I my hairloss is way too aggressive to mess around with and I'm not worried about side effects at all, just afraid of losing the hair.

When you let your hair grow, it looks pretty good. I wouldn't even notice the thinning if I didn't examine everyone's hair that I see. I think you'll be able to have a pretty good head of hair once you've been on your regimen for a while longer.
