Hey guys.

Some of you will have seen my posts in the general area. This is an update since then. I've since had a haircut which is described below.

This year i participated in the "Worlds greatest shave for a cure" charity. This is a charity for Leukaemia and other blood disorders. I donated some money and for my donation they can either shave your head or colour your hair plus a few other choices.

I got buzzed to a number 2, i would have gone shorter but i will be better propared next year. I enjoyed this haircut because not only did he cut my hair he did an awesome beard trim. During the haircut, the barber mentioned (after i raised the topic of baldness) that my hair was infact receeding, he said he could see some vellous hairs that indicated where my hairline would have been. My left side seems to be much worse than my right, in the top picture you can clearly see some crown thinning. I can feel it is thin all the way from the left temple to the crown. Right side i think isn't as bad but other guys recon my right is worse off.


One of my friends the following night told me that my hairloss is more noticeable with my hair so short, which was comforting because they finally believed me.

Here are some photos. This isn't the best light, much worse in sunlight.

Yep so you're a diffuse thinner then i guess...

Just get on an internal ASAP and shampoo with nizoral and GIVE IT TIME (At least 8-12 months). If things definetly dont seem to be improving, then give dutasteride a shot. I do believe (since you're not slick bald anywhere, or even that close to it) that you have a really good chance to un-bald . But dont put it off, start now.

If I were you, I'd start on Propecia/Nizoral a.s.a.p. but not even bother with the rogaine. I'm sure it might bother you personally, but from where i'm standing your hairloss doesn't look that bad at all. Propecia/nizoral should be enough to let you keep what you have and then rethicken much of what was lost. Good luck.

What are you updating us on? That you're still balding? The only other post from you I read, you posted pics of yourself with obvious male pattern baldness but said you didn't mind the thinning and you weren't going to get on any treatments.

Are you providing us with a regress report? lol
