May 24, 2009: Week 12 I have been growing my hair out a bit longer now, which for me is still incredibly short. My frontal area still feels a bit thinner than the rest of my head, but doesn't show much visible thinning at this length. My left temple had a bunch of the hairs fall out to be replaced with thicker hairs. That whole area still looks a bit bad, but seeing this progress makes me ...

Ok, I've been reading this forum like crazy for the past month or so and finally decided to make my own thread. I started losing hair on the temple area about 2 yrs ago.. my hair was much much longer and I didn't really notice it. My dad always had that "M" forehead and never went bald (he's 52), so I didn't think much of it. Soon after, I cut my hair short and it was much easier to style.. so...

The more you dic around the more you lose. It is easier to keep hair than to hope to regrow hair that was lost to DHT damage. Start early on FIN before big trouble and the "its to late" scenario and you will bypass future loss. You say you are afraid of FIN, I guess you are saying that you might be in the 2% of those with side effects, and not in the 98% of those millions who do just fine. ...

What is going on HLT??? So as mentioned in a few posts above, in September 2007 I went on a 10-day vacation and didn't bring my foam. When I got back home, I started using the foam in the mornings and nights, pretty much everyday (I think I missed 3-4 applications in about 12 months). However, about 3-4 months in, I noticed I started to shed. Didn't think much of it since it was probably b/c I ...

Hello there and welcome to the forums :) An extensive first post and well documented starting point. I, like you, had a severly hit vertex area. As you will have probably read around here, the most potent combo to treat hairloss is the famous "Big 3" : an FDA approved DHT inhibitor(finasteride), a potent growth stimulant (minoxidil) and a medicated ketoconazole containing shampoo (Nizoral). ...

I'm adding a few pics so you can see at what stage I am at the moment. I'd really appreciate any advice, after taking these pics I can see just how sh*t my hair is now & I want to get started on something asap. The pics aren't great quality because they're taken with my phone also there's no flash but I'm standing directly under a light instead (which makes it all look worse) lol ...
