Sooo. . .
I've always had a lot of hair but began losing it since I turned 18. I noticed that what used to naturally comb backwards into a pretty great, if wiry pompadour, began to lay more flat around the time I graduated from high school.
I started combing it forward or to the side and more or less got by, though I've been an on and off Minoxidil user since 2001 have been using both minoxidil 5% and generic Finasteride regularly since 2013. I use also Nizoral (and a couple of other shampoos/conditioners).
Long story short, after years of worry and frequenting hairloss forums to read and hope I'm at the end of the assumption that I can do anything else alone, but also in search of support.
For the folks in the know how would you asses the current state of the dissolving union that is my cranial covering? I'm about to be relatively debt free soon, so why not negate that with elective medical debt?
What would the transplant recipients on the forum suggest and/or advise? Is now the time? Is it better to hold a little longer (how long would that even be)? How much is enough (count and money-wise)?
What happens after that (assuming I stick to the regime)
Is it wholly folly? What about those celebs that have seemed to have great (subjective) hairline transplants(supposedly everyone from David Beckham to Rob Schneider)? How much of that is rumor or editing? I guess part of me is just flailing in the dark. Thanks for any replies.
