Hi everyone. I am 29 years old. Like many of you I started losing my hair at a very young age. I'm severely emotionally affected by this.
I finally have a little bit of savings and I'm hoping to be able to do something about my hair. I've tried the bald-look and it doesnt suit my head or thin frame. I tried finasteride a few years back and the side effects I experienced scared me so I stopped. Photos are of me at this present time.
My current regimen is:
Minoxidil 5% twice a day (currently at 2 months). I have noticed some small hairs growing in the front V area, and I think Im starting to shed little hair bulbs when I shower.
Nizoral 1% : Only one available in stores. Ive only been using this about a month.
Dermarolling 1.5mm : I do this a few times a week, not extreme pressure, just enough to redden the scalp. I apply minoxidil afterwards.
Supplementing with multivitamin and fish oil.
My thoughts are that if a transplant is viable, I would like to look into FUE or Neograft (if this is a good choice). I dont think I want a FUT scar in case I need to shave my hair in the future. What kind of graft numbers would be realistic in my case. I would like to have decent coverage all over. and restore my hairline a bit.
If a transplant is not a good idea for me, I'd like to hear that as well. I don't mind the harsh facts I'd just like to avoid false hope and deluding myself. Thanks to everyone who took the time to read this. Any help is appreciated.
