Hey guys!
I'm 23yrs old now and I noticed I was losing my hair when I was about 18(probably started earlier), and the last couple of years I felt like it really accelerated.
So I started searching around and found these forums.
Then I decided to atleast try some minoxidil, even though I had very little hope.
My current regimen is:
5% minoxidil "Rogaine Forte" twice a day, I use a bit more since I have to cover the whole top of my head. (3bottles lasts about 2 months).
About 2.5months in, I started using Nizoral 1% twice a week. (it got stuck in customs for about 2 months.. *sigh*).
I feel like the progress have been slowing down lately though, so I now finally ordered some propecia to test it out and see if the sides affects me, hoping I actually recieve the stuff haha. So many sketchy websites out there selling it.
I can't say I noticed any real shedding period, I'm guessing I just havnt noticed it. Might be cause my hair on top was so thin to begin with.
These pictures are all taken in pretty strong light, and I realise I've been a little sloppy with the focus. I believe these are the more decent ones.
This is week1:
This is about 3weeks in:
This is after 2 months:
3months in (2weeks /w nizoral), I was testing if the hair on top would actually grow now, since it pretty much didn't at all before I started.
4months in /w 1.5months nizoral.
Apologies for any mistakes in grammar, I'm from Sweden.
Update 2015-09-22 on request:
So the status now is: I think I've been using minoxidil for 10months now. I started propecia on 0,5mg for 3 months and now I've upped to 1mg for 2 months. Still using Nizoral once a week.
Current regimen: 1mg propecia/day, nizoral once a week, liquid minoxidil 2times a day.
I took these pics today, 1 in a bit stronger than normal light.
My right temple is still struggling with alot of very thin hairs. But I still think I'm still seeing progress, only veeeery slooowly
10~months in:
So I figure I will keep at it for atleast another year and see how it goes.
