Starting to recording my hair progress here

[Ikbakkk]

I might wanna use this thread as my own personal record of my hair growth process, because my gallery is full of trash memes and sometimes it's hard to track. I think i have NW5(?) Because the temple so deep, the crown literally bald and slight thinning in front top till temples.
Treatment i am using right now:
Topical minoxidil once daily - for 2 months
Biotin 5000mcg daily - for 2 months
Finasteride 1mg daily - about a week ago

Dermaroller 0.5mm:
Before i am going to bed, and after im taking shower in the morning on the crown, (pressing as hard as possible)
Roll every 2 days on temples, this sh*t is pain. Kudos to people who go 2mm or more.

The temples is not like in the photo before doing the treatment (there's no hair texture or somewhat), now it has more small soft hairs.

Maybe will update every 3 weeks is good enough for tracking my progress. I regret for neglecting my shedding when i am 20, now i am near my 22

I would give it time, be careful using 5000MCG biotin this can cause acne, body rash and long term internal side effects like kidney damage and insulin problems! I had both acne and rash from taking 1,000/2,500MCG, this made my hair thicker cosmetically but was not worth the side effects I experienced.

When were you realize that you have the side effect?

Hey pal, I think you should try oral minoxidil. I will always advocate for the stuff. I turned my nw2 into a nw0.

Update:
2 weeks on 1mg fina everyday, starting to make my morning wood gone. But still be able getting hard with stimulus visually like normal. Reduce the frequency or reduce the dose?

Agreed, it did benefit my hair but fucked my skin badly

I took 10,000 mcg in the past and broke out in acne all over my face within weeks, this time I took 1,000/2,500 and within months I started getting few spots but had major body rash. I stopped and my rash is clearing, I also had colon hydrotherapy to flush my system. I strongly suggest avoid biotin in high dosage, just take a balanced multi vitamin and b complex in balance.

First three weeks, update no.1
My crown on my left hand side, showing a progress. And the right hand side, it is slightly thicker on some part.

As for the hairline, still look so deep but showing a little progress too

Update no.2
Shedding now is reduced even when combing my hair, less than 5 per comb not like before my regime start

This is a good response. Congrats!

Update no 3. (2 months feels so loooong)
Cut my hair also, not using biotin anymore because rashes in face 2 days ago. Regime only use fina, minoxidil, and dermaroll now.

Progress on right temple seems faster than the left one, on the crown i can't seem to find the differences because different hair length when taking the pic.

 

[Ikbakkk]

You seem to be doing well. Good luck to you!

Thankyou

You're responding well. In 6 months time I think you'll be quite happy with your overall success by then.

[Norwoody]

Great! Keep it up!

Update no.4. My regime only finasteride 1mg and micro needle, stop using topical minoxidil since 1 month ago because it is itchy so much. Hairline and crown slowly growing. Left temple deeper than right temple from the start. Crown kinda shedding like crazy and nearly like the first update for a while after stopping minoxidil, but now the shedding is reduce a lot and there's some growth but slower
