Good, I think.
I was worried that nothing was working and I was thinning more just a month ago, but that must have been further shedding from the minoxidil as all the hair I shed (I shed for MONTHS) has grown back in and thicker.
I stated earlier in the thread that I had to take up facial waxing because the minoxidil gave me hypertrichosis; I grow hair around my eyes that never used to exist or was noticeable. It is also working on my temples, mostly the right one. In fact, I'd say that if it remains effective, it would be almost completely restored by this time next year. Even friends and family have commented "Hey, it looks like there's hair growing" So obviously, it is working.
I thought Nizoral was bullshit, but back in the summer, my temples and other parts of my head just itched and burned like crazy. Ever since I started using it, I've never had this problem.
If this lotion does work as we're told, and I do believe it's likely, I would just look at getting a transplant to lower the front of the hairline and fill in elsewhere and I'd be effectively cured. If the lotion doesn't work, then obviously finasteride is the only option.
