Hey guys
I started to do something about my hair (just losing at the front) in October 2009. For first 4 months was just using minoxidil. Then I threw in Proscar.
So, had been on finasteride/ minoxidil until about August 2010. I had definitely maintained, but probably no gains (maybe some slight). Then I discontinued minoxidil (regaine) as I found it a pain to use, and I wasn't sure if the minoxidil or the finasteride was working, so I wanted to test.
In the last 6/7 weeks my hair has gotten suddenly worse, slightly worse than before I started any treatment. I originally thought it was cause I missed my finasteride for a week. But now I'm thinking it's more likely that it happened cause I stopped using minoxidil
Does this sound correct?
I have started minoxidil (5%) again in the last week. I still only have hair loss at the front. It's gotten particularly thin right at the front. I still don't have any part on the front where there's absolutely no hair, so I'm hoping I'll be able to regrow somewhat.
Does that sound achievable - can I get back to the stage I was at 6 months ago?
Strangely, I actually don't regret stopping minoxidil btw. Cause at least now I'm pretty sure it wasn't a waste of time/money
Anyone else been in a similar situation?
