the angle he shot is tricky

if I'd post a photo with grown hair with almost the same angle you will think I'm fullhead fraud

the only matters is the photo on eye level
I guess in a way we are both lucky - I think zircon was also the same and in that area of nw3 to nw4, but where he was still able to style it and look like they've got almost a fullhead of hair.

hey shook what do you think about minoxidil as an addition to a regimen with duta or fina ?
to thicken hair caliber ?
i am planning to do a hair transplant in the future , but i will have to stop minoxidil for a while before the transplant and it will certainly cause a shed

Personally it took me 18 months to see my final hair loss pattern. Went from a thick NW1.5 to a NW7 in a very rapid time. Still losing hair on my horseshoe too so idk, is it possible to go lower than NW7?

Holy sh*t that is rough. Fullhead to NW7 in 18 months time. I cannot even begin to imagine the psychological impact of watching the transformation of oneself take place at such a rate

Do you know of any regimens to get my hair back?

Thanks

You may as well go full nuke:

Dutasteride
RU58841
minoxidil with a penetration enhancer
keto shampoo

Prob the best thing short of a tranny regimen for the aggressive baldite

Yea man, it was like watching myself age 30 years. Crazy how the human body works!

Penetration enhancer as in dermaroller? I've been looking to buy one, surgical steel or titanium needles?

I don't know much of anything about dermarolling myself, although some on here report good results with it. Personally I use tretinoin and peppermint oil to enhance minoxidil penetration

What I would like to Debunk is when exactly do most people see there final pattern as far as early onset suffers are concerned?


Dr Rassman points out its around 26. However I have heard people like @Wolf Pack indicate that for those who have early onset, you will begin to see the final pattern by the time you are thirty.

@Roberto_72 thoughts?


What is the earliest age you have seen for a man to have a complete Pattern 7 hair loss?
April 7 2017, 2:50 pm PT | Posted in: Hair Loss Causes

I have seen men reach a full Class 7 balding pattern by the age of 21. Most men with advanced balding patterns get them by the time they are 26 years old.


Dr Rassman





if this is the case, then I will be inbetween NW5 based on my sides, and how far the crown dips down.

My theory is to pay attention to your sides, followed by the crown dip area to indicate your norwood pattern. As the hair in these regions tend to be resilient around the surrounding areas

That's for people who have really agressive baldness. For me, that's not true. I'm way beyond thirties.

It's definitely not my final pattern. But I can't speak for others. Some people lost a lot in their teens. And I
do feel really bad for them, because nothing sucks more than being a bald teenager. Teenage years suck
for most people as it is. It wasn't obvious until I was 20.

Good candidate for future hair restoration. (High sides)


NW5 looks to be your pattern.

All though right now you are arguably a diffuse NW4.


Crazy how much of a difference buzzing t makes. It was my first reality check. grown out it hid so much of the truth.
When do you think you will REACH your final Norwood pattern? By age 80? That's the million dollar question. I wish there was an exact age you could say this is bad as it gets but unfortunately its unknown your whole life. I used to think 35 years old was the magic number. Then I changed it to 50 years old but its unpredictable. Don Ameche proved that as he went bald in his 70's which is still not bad since 70 percent are balding at his age.

Never heard of this idea, could I have more info in how you apply everything?

I base my tretinoin use on studies showing it to increase minoxidil's effectiveness. I believe it's by like 3x it enhances minoxidil, which makes sense considering what it does to the skin

Although there are some studies on peppermint oil, admittedly my addition of it was moreso based on anecdotal reports from this site, although you can literally feel it working in your scalp shortly after applying it

What I do is I nightly apply the tretinoin to my hairline, then about 20 minutes later apply my liquid minoxidil to which I've added approximately 4% peppermint oil. I don't think you need to wait the 20 minutes if you don't want, that's just what I like to do

Careful with tretinoin. It does help the skin absorb Minoxidil.

As an acid, it can temporarily burn your scalp hair off.

Unfortunately, I know this from experience. I had "bald patches" from where I applied it one time,
and only where it was applied.

People with naturally thick follicles don't have these issues.

Id been using it on my face for almost a year before I decided to also incorporate it into my hair routine, so I was already fairly experienced with properly building it up and introducing it gradually enough to avoid that sort of thing

Definitely don't want to go overboard with tretinoin right off the bat

If you use minoxidl on your face then it will work for your hair as it will be in your bloodstream.

I am def. an example of high norwood at young age. f*** man! Why do I remember how pathetic my life is. I am freaking bald. Oh god, I am having another one of my meltdowns....i have been more or less content in the last 7 years but after turning 30, i feel like i am fucked. i do not even abuse ever in real life. and i am just so annoyed that my life is so pathetic.


WHY! WHY! WHY! It is 1:40 am here in Michigan and I need to go to work tomorrow. And I am here thinking about my hair.
