So I've just turned 22 and have been losing hair for just over 4 years now - It's been slow and thinning is more of a problem than the actual recession. But it's starting to become noticeable. If I can maintain what I have I'll be delighted. Actually, looking back at pics of me when I was 15 I'm sure thinning temples are noticeable then! So I feel a bit blessed it's occuring so slowly.
Pics aren't the best quality.
Left Temple (Better temple)
Right Temple (Worse temple)
Overall
This pic was taken a few months ago - My hair doesn't look quite as good as this now but not too bad so you can see why it would be ideal for me to act now.
Crown and centre of hairline are fine. - Although the thin hair of the right temple is starting to spread towards the centre.
So today I've decided to start finasteride!
I've dissolved 5mg Proscar in 19 tbl of brandy to give a 0.26mg dose to start. (Bit worried it hasn't dissolved fully as I can still see white particles.) Will gradually build up to a .5mg dose, and maybe 1mg.
Revita Shampoo
Cod Liver Oil and Multi Vitamin.
Anyway advice would be fantastic.
Thanks for reading.
p.s. I have been diagnosed with male pattern baldness - I'm not just being paranoid about a mature hairline - Clearly evident by the thinning temples.
