I have been reading this site a lot lately just got started on Propecia about two weeks ago (almost) and am hoping for the best.
I've been balding since the age of 16 (two years ago) and I haven't receeded any further (always been a NW2-3)
Im hoping that while taking Propecia only it will help increase my hair count on my temples as im going to college soon - 7 Months.
I just started on Nizoral and L'oreal Vive Pro for men about a week ago.
What im wanting to know is if Propecia only will help rebuild my hairline, increase hair count on my temples?
I lose about 2-10 hairs a day on a bad day maybe 10-15 throughout the WHOLE day so I definitely have slowed down the hair loss process, but this was happening way before I started on Propecia (oh about 7-10 months ago).
I know my story doesn't sound too bad and its not really noticeable that im losing hair unless its wet or if the wind hits it since I style it a certain way.
Also since im really self-conscious about my hair I tend to brush it alot.
Is this bad to be brushing it a lot or not? Because I don't really lose that much hairs while brushing it maybe 1-3 Heh, Sometimes none.
Thanks for listening and answering my questions in advance.
*EDIT
This forum has boosted my confidence in fixing this hair loss I usually just nudged it off or didn't care, but now im starting to care and I have learned A LOT from this site alone about hair loss.
I get comments from people though, like, "You're balding." and I go directly to a mirror and check my hair and see how it looks etc. It just makes me mad that people make these sort of observations. Why can't they f*****g keep it to themselves? Who the hell knows. Anyways
I have gotten over that bump and don't care what people say about my hair because I am what I am.
Pics coming soon!
*UPDATE*
Here is the front of my head, probably not the BEST Picture as I moved all the hair over in the middle making it look like a complete mess lol:
NW2-2.5 imo:
Here is the left temple which is less receeded then the right and better off atm:
Here is the right temple receeded farther then left:
My hair is weird and no one in my family has male pattern baldness Problems (only the oldies)
I have been on Propecia for 1 month upcoming to another week and Nizoral for 2 weeks upcoming to a month
I have been on MSM 2000mg, Vitamin C 1000mg for a week.
I have been on a Multi Vitamin for almost a year.
When to take the Rogaine step?
1-2 months? June?
*EDIT Also, YES I can hide it. Do I want to anymore? No. Especially since Its annoying going outside with the wind blowing on it then messing it up so you can see my recession so I'm doing something about this sh*t.
