@genetically_cursed - In 3 months of using Minoxidil, Finastride and caffeine shampoo, the results have been absolutely f**king ridiculous...in a good way.
I'm 37 and had receded for 17 years but at a snails pace. 6 months ago I noticed that I was thinning noticeably at the vertex and it was going elsewhere too.
Maybe I've had an unusually good response to the treatments but I've gone from a Norwood 3 with some thinning (primarily vertex) to a Norwood 2 with virtually no thinning at the crown.
In fact, my hair has thickened up massively so it's now no longer possible to see my scalp after a shower. My hairline has also moved about a 1cm forwards with an insane amount of new growth and it's not fine hair either. Everyone has noticed it and remarked about how different my hair looks. I got married fairly recently and my hair 2.5 months later looks totally different to the wedding pics.
Furthermore, my hair has also changed colour from brown to dark brown, my beard has become exceptionally virulent and for the first time in my life , I've a 5 o'clock shadow after I shave. I'm permanently horny and ejaculate like Peter North. I presume that's because testosterone is no longer being converted into Dihydrotestosterone? If I didn't love my wife as much I do, I'd literally f**k anything that moves!
I'd say my hairline has reverted back to when I was 23-24 when I was doing my Master's and I'm about as horny as when I was 17-18!
However, I will stress that the first month was very tough as I shed massively and this was compounded by the fact that I got a buzz cut. Looked like I was diffusing to a Norwood 6. Thankfully, my hair is now so, so different.
