6 MONTHS AND ALL IS WELL!!!
Thanks to all that frequent this site. It's by far THE best resource on the web for those of us that are hair challenged :lol:
After visiting this site and scouring it's contents, I decided to put off looking at getting a hair transplant and try the BIG 3, (minoxidil, Finasteride, and Nizoral). The first couple of months I saw only minor changes. The minoxidil seemed to thicken it some. I had a little itching, but not much. I could live with it. Well, I stayed very diligent in sticking to my regimen.
I'm 49 years old, but in my profession it's important to look your best. Some guys look great bald, but I don't think I would be one of them. I personally look better "with" hair.
Every morning minoxidil and a quarter of a Fincar tablet. Then minoxidil again at bedtime.
Sometimes I would shampoo in the morning, sometimes at night, sometimes I'd skip a day. Every other day I would put use Nizoral 1%. On the off days I would use either Thicker Fuller Hair, Head & Shoulders. The last couple of months I changed my off day routine slightly. I made a mixture of 1/2 TGel and 1/2 Nizoral 1%. I've had no problems with itching.
I also added Foligen, which I think helps the health of the scalp some.
I'm a diffuse thinner, which sort of gives you that Friar Tuck look. It was really close to bald before I started the regimen. My goals were to gain back just enough thickness to allow me to use a topical agent, such as Toppik or Couvre'.
Well, after 6 months I'm happy to say that it's worked remarkably. I can't believe how much it has improved. I'm an entertainer/musician and I'm under the spotlights quite a bit. I occasionally add a watered down amount of Couvre' for the shows I do, but just enough to get rid of the scalp shine. I just rub some on my fingers, add a little water and rub it around the thin spots. Lately though, I've been able to get away without using anything topically. It looks really good.
I am also financially challenged, so I try to get the most bang for my buck on hair products.
I see a lot of posts asking where to get the best deals on stuff. Here are links to the places where I get my stuff. I don't know if you can find it any cheaper. If so, let me know.
Good luck, and hang in there. It really has worked for me.
