I have been lurking around for 3 months, but I've finally decided to post and ask a few questions. I am 25 and have noticed that I am at the beginning stages of diffuse thinning. My hairline and crown are fine, but there is thinning at the front and a little at the middle. I am similar to other posters like Jayman and Helpmeplease, except I would say I have caught my thinning a little earlier than they did. I only see some scalp when my hair is spiked up or wet, but it has worsened over the last few months.
I tried propecia alone for two months but quit because the side effects were too horrible (severe breast tenderness), and did not go away with repeated use. So, I am thinking of beginning a regimen of:
MSM 2x/day
Biotin 1x/day
1% Nizoral 3x/week
Niotin Shampoo/Conditioner + Aveda Shampoo/Conditioner
Revivogen 1x/day
5% Rogaine (not yet, but a few months from now, to see if there is slight improvement with just the above)
I have some questions:
1)is there anything wrong with this plan?
2)is there anything i can add that is topical (or oral without affecting hormones)?
3)as a diffuse thinner, does my head at the top eventually go bald like those with typical male pattern baldness, or does it remain there and just gradually thin? I look good with my head buzzed, but not completely shaven, so i would like to buzz it at a 1 all over (i.e. where you see stubble, kind of like military style), but I am worried that eventually my top and front will be completely bald with only stubble at the sides and back. if i can buzz and maintain permenantly the stubble on the front and top, i will buzz it and forget about these problems! If not, I might shave it and then apply rogaine to the top and front.
Thanks, and sorry for all the questions. I hope everyone here experiences success!!
