Hello everyone! I would like to share my hair-loss story if I may. I am a 28 years old male, but I first started to notice that my hair-line was receding when I was about 21 years old. I was troubled by it at first, but it wasn't that big of deal as I could cover it with my hair easily because it's fairly thick. It's been a painful gradual process for me, but I guess it's better than going immediately to the horse shoe style.
I avoid going out windy days and pools now lol. Also, if people are over and I just showered, I always make sure to blow-dry my hair lest they see me completely exposed. I know it's lame and they probably already notice, but I still do it nonetheless.
I took the Rogaine route, but didn't like the idea of rubbing chemicals on my scalp, besides I know it only works for so long so I opted not to deal with it. I know you are supposed to lose your hair in the beginning application phase, but I've heard stories where it never grows back even after consistently using the "vaunted" Rogaine formula for a long period of time. Lastly, Propecia and it's side effects give me the creeps. I can still bring in some tail, so I don't want to have my equipment malfunction or fall into some deep depression because of that crap.
I'm currently just using Aubrey Organics - Primrose & Lavender Shampoo, Jojoba Oil shampoo, Biotin Shampoo. I generally try and rotate them around. I've probably been using them for about 4-6 months. I'm joining this forum so that I can get the point of views of others going through this crappy process of losing their hair and perhaps getting their opinion on my "damage" so to speak.
Anyways, I'll stop blabbing, but I've attached some photos of my hair line. Please let me know if you think it's a hairline that may hold for many years or will continue to make a hasty retreat. I guess which number on the Norwood scale too would be helpful! Thanks in advance!!!
