New here and need some advice...

[NiceGuyEd]

Hello All.
First post here.

I'm a 27 year old male. I have noticed the past few years that my hair is thinning. I've had shoulder length hair since I was around 18 years old and can tell it's not thick like it used to be. My hairline is also receding.

I've been scouring through many threads here and am a bit overwhelmed at what my options are.

I was hoping someone could perhaps suggest a regimine I could begin that might help slow the process and regrow some new hair. There are so many drugs out there... is there an order or combination that I should try them in?

Perhaps I should take some pictures of my hair so you can see my current situation?

Propecia is FDA approved for maintenance of hair. Rogaine is for regrowth.

It is recommended that you use Propecia as a first step. Search the forums here, there is a wealth of information. :lol:

starting point:


1 mg of finasteride a day (1 propecia pill).

Nizoral shampoo 2-3 times a day.


Give this some time to work, a year is a good period to make a judgement.

If you need further results at the point look into minoxidil (Rogaine)

I think you meant Nizoral 2-3 / WEEK

LOL!!!


just spotted that!, yep! that should be 2-3 times a week.

Minoxidil 5%
1 mg Finasteride daily
2% Nizoral Mon, Wend, Fri & T/Gel on the remaining days

I think if someone were willing or able to wash with nizoral 2-3/day they would need to immediately check-in to a psych institution for immediate treatment. Obsessive Compulsive would be my guess?

I recommend not using Nizoral more than 8 times a day.
