Just a little background: I'm 30, balding since 23. Started balding really bad/diffuse thinning at 28 (2015). Used minoxidil 5% for 2 years (2015-2016). Had great results, regrowth and made me grew face beard. In January 2017, minoxidil just stopped working. Lost all my hair I got from minoxidil. Started taking finasteride 1mg per day (and still continue minoxidil) in February 2018.
My results with 1mg Finasteride per day and Minoxidil 5% 2 times a day:
About the photo: All are taken during night time in my room. Compiled it in MS Paint. No adobe photoshop edits. No filters. No lighting/brightness/contrast adjustments. Plain photo on my Sony xperia phone lol.
It's slow, but it's visible. And I'm just only 3 months in.
Good sides:
-Stopped my hair fall shockingly. I used to wake up everyday with like 20 strands of hair in my pillow which is disgusting. Now all I see is literally 0. None. The most in 1 week is 2 strands
-Made my hair stronger to combing and massaging. I used to have lots of hair fall whenever I comb or when I touch my hair in my fingers. Now it never happens anymore, unless it's forced
-Bringing me back my confidence. Just the feeling that you have taken the 1mg finasteride in the morning makes me feel at ease and have peace of mind knowing it's working on my body.
Bad side effects:
-Sudden random ball ache for 6-10 seconds, but after 2 months it all goes away.
-Slightly low libido during the first 2 months, which I consider good for me coz I'm a heavy masturbater like 5-6 times a day which is really depressing me out. But now all side effects seems gone and I enjoy masturbating more just 2-3 times a day.
My regimen:
1mg finasteride 1x a day
5% Kirkland Minoxidil extra strength 2x a day
Multivitamin tablets with Vit. A, C, D, B-complex, Zinc
Eat-more-fish diet (3-5 servings of fish every week)
No specialized shampoos: I use whatever is there in our bathroom lol
That's pretty much it. Let me know your comments.
