Hello. I just became a member of this site. I have been a lurker for a while now and have learned a lot here. I am 25 years old and first noticed my hair thinning a few years ago when someone politely pointed it out lol. It has progressively gotten worse and lately I notice there more shedding than normal especially when washing my hair. I end up with 30 or so hairs in my hands....not good. I came to the conclusion that I need to do something about it. I am always wearing a hat now as its almost impossible to pull off a haircut to go out without it showcasing the excessive thinning. I would like to hear from all of you veterans here. I guess my options are...
Rogaine
Propecia
Xandrox
Spro
Folligen
Nizoral
The only thing I have tried is Nizoral 1% and havent noticed much. I probly havent been using it as much as I should. I would prefer to stay away from Propecia for 2 reasons......relying on a Rx and the possible interfearance with gains in the gym. I heard that since it blocks DHT it will hinder muscle gains which is important to me since I compete in bodybuilding shows. So I was thinking Xandrox and Nizoral. What do you guys think? I havent heard much from the others. Imput? Im nervous about the excessive initial shedding with the Rogaine.
So its either stack some of these products and hope for the best or Im gonna end up buzzing my hair short which brings up another opinion. Do I have the right head shape for it and how it will affect the way my hair looks. I appreciate all the help. Thanks in advance.
Here are a couple pics. I usually kind of flip my hair up in the front (almost spike it) but can no longer really pull it off anymore. Tends to look way to thin and transparent.
