Radio ruled out photomanipulation but did not rule out concealment in the second(latest) pic. Anyway there is no reason for joeb to do something like that. I consider joeb's results legitimate-yet astounding. I wish there were more posts like this, as they are very inspiring.

It is never too late to battle, isn't it?

hair doesnt even grow that much in 5 months, even on a normal person not suffering from hairloss. If i were to ask my little bro who's 13 to shave his head off, after 5 months, he probably still won't have that long of hair.

This is true. But as you say unlikely.

Perhaps Joeb has already answered why this may not be the case. (below)

Perhaps it's just that most people posting & surfing forums are those who have problems and are seeking answers. There clearly are those who do not respond as well or at all, and they are the seekers of more information.

What you are interpreting as unnatural legth is the preexisting blond hairs that had no dark background to stand out. The underlying darker hairs are probably shorter.

exactly! The underlying new dark hairs vary from extremely short, to about 2.5 inches. There is quite a bit of it & it is pretty dense. The longer blonde hairs are what i use to have. I'm surprised by the drastic change in color. I have no reason to use a concealer now. I tried Topik a year ago & hated the sandy residue on my scalp. My intention is not to mislead or create undue hope. Just to share what is truly possible!

One of the unexpected results from using minoxidil and finasteride for me was a darkening of the hair, very strange as I am usually light/blonde, this was often commented on by people who were not aware I was using any hair growth medications (that is eveyone except my girlfriend).

here is my picture at just over 2 months... note the many short dark hairs sprouting. Hopefully this shows the progression as a natural, unconcealed one!

If this isnt the best ever evidence that generics are as good as brand names I dont know what is. Ive been debating whether to go Cipla or MErck for a while but now my mind has been made up. Ive just ordered some Finpecia from in house. Wish me luck.

joeb:

thank you for sharing your results and for willing to update.

You could always stick around though, elite responders receive a lot of respect.

Then try dutasteride to see if you get better or worse results. Maybe after that you could try the infamous laser comb. Then if you dont mind you might like to try essence of dingbat.

Wow, does that not piss some of us regulars off, but in the nicest way!

The guy comes here just 5 months ago, and turns it completely around!

He's gone!!!

If you look at the length of his hair, his hair is about 5 inches long. Hair only grows 1/4th to 1/2 inch every month. His hair must of started growing back immediately with no shedding whatsoever if he were to have results like that in 5months!! Well i say props to him if its a true story!

Joeb,

To settle the matter once and for all, maybe you could send your digital pics (assuming they were) to a Mod here to verify. The file indicates when the picture was taken.

The date can be easily changed.

What is it with you people :) , why would this guy want to fake some hair loss pictures, post them and disappear ? He hasn't tried to sell you anything or even pin down what he felt gave him the results.
