Hey worm, thanks for all your help. I was thinking of trying out zix. Is it possible to use it with s5 cream? Could I use the cream, wait "x" amount of time, and apply zix? OR, use s5 cream in the morning and zix at night?

Here are some pics. A couple wet and from the side as requested by @farisayeh . I've receded for sure in the past 13+ years, at least an inch. I'm sure I'd be pretty much bald at my age.

Worm, Have you ever considered a transplant? looks like you'd get real good results from a couple thousand grafts on the hairline. Not that you really need it since your hair looks pretty good as it is, but you'd have some seriously good hair with a filled in hairline.
Dang man hair looking gold for an old man lol

Well money is a factor at this point, and quite honestly I care about my hair but not enough to do something about it. Maybe in 5 years, I suspect these procedures will me more affordable and the quality will be much better. Otherwise I'm afraid that if I get some work done the hair behind it will continue to thin.
How much do transplants cost anyways?

Thanks there is thinning at the crown too, not enough to see a spot but enough so that I've caught people looking. So it looks better than it is. Especially if my hair gets messy.

Well there is nothing wrong with doing both. I wish I had known about zix, and now my zinc before I stopped finasteride. I think it was close to 1-1.5 years before I discovered zix. I wonder how I would have done on both. You could try both, and ween yourself of finasteride eventually, all going well.
How is the microdosing going?
If you go to a really good surgeon like Edrogan from Turkey, he can turn a Norwood 3 into a 1 for like 13,000. All that includes the flight and hotel I believe.

Update btw -
I've scaled back to 3.5 zinc capsules after I seemed to be shedding more with 5. I've noticed less hairs in the shower again, and I'm not noticing hair at my desk and other places any longer. So think I've stabilized again.
On the shampoo front, I'm only washing every other day to reduce the greasiness of excess sebum production. One thing I've also realized is I normally leave my shampoo in for at least 5-10 mins. I don't do this anymore because I think it may be drying my scalp excessively and contributing to the problem. My hair seems less greasy after a week or so of doing this, but it still doesn't look ideal during the off days. Anyhow, will stay the course. Goal is to reduce my sebum production, who knows this may help with hairloss as well.

Worm,
I have been following this forum since around April 2017.. just never got around to making an account.
Can you explain the formula one more time (amazon links if possible) as well as how to apply? I saw you state to use 4 220mg of Zinc and mix with 2 ounces of distilled water. From there do you just do 2 drops from the medicine dropper each application? What is the importance of the alcohol (if any) as I would like to keep the formula as simple as possible?
A little info:
I do not notice shedding now, as I have short hair (african american). My method of noticing effectiveness will be if there is further recession of the hairline (so a good update may take me 3 months). I am also not heavily worried about hair as I wouldn't mind shaving (probably due to being african american), so have no plans on trying something riskier like Finasteride. I also plan on applying minoxidil during opposite time of day as the Zinc (since you mentioned that they counteract).
Thanks for the help; I will order the supplies tomorrow.

The alcohol helps the zinc absorb into the scalp, my impression is that it's not 100% needed, but may make the solution more effective (needs to be ethyl alcohol) With respect to your hair, how long is it? Also, I can't say my solution has stopped my recession, I've lost about 2/3rds of an inch on my hairline and some density in the past 13 years.
Lastly, you fill a 2ml dropper and apply it to your scalp. If you only have 1ml, the fill it and apply it twice to your scalp. Massage the solution into your scalp.
Cheers.
