Hello, Avocado here :salut:

I'm 26 years old and I am concerned about my hairline. It has been receding in the past few years. A couple of weeks ago I started taking Finasteride 1mg per day + 5% liquid minoxidil to my hairline twice a day + Nizoral shampoo every three days (I read it has some DHT blocking capabilities??) + 3000mcg of biotin twice a day + L'oreal sulfate-free hair thickening shampoo and conditioner every three days. Hopefully all this stuff I'm using is going to at least halt the receding hairline. One can only hope. :pint::pint: I'll post my updates when necessary.

Where do I fall in the Norwood scale? Thanks.

Any recommendations? Should I stick with this regime or amp up the dosage on minoxidil (from 5% to ??), Nizoral (from 1% to 2%), Finasteride (1mg to 1.25mg)?

One question. I'm using around 1ml of Minoxidil twice a day around my hairline. Should I use it elsewhere on my head? Should I use more than 1ml per application?

Thanks again fellers.

That's very hard to tell, but I would say you are a NW2,5

Your hairline has receded too much on the sides to be a 2 and too little on the front to be a 3.

He is only a NW2. His recession is even with the his side burns.
