just cut it short as there is no way to hide your hair thinning, i seriously telling you. The more you hide it, the more obvious it is.

your hair looks exactly like mine and trust me im balding. get on either proscar or propecia. when you get it that early you can stop it and even have it thicken up a bit. dont even use minox you dont need it. just fin/niz/and maybe another topical to be safe but not minox. im 22 now and my hair looked exactly like yours at 19/20. thats when i started my regimin and now my hair looks better than yours. when you get it as early as yours thats when you can really save your hair.

Read again my post. I also told that IMO you are in early stages. I am in the exact same situation.
I think you should use propecia, i don't i am afraid of the sides.

i was buggin out about it when i was your age to. you cant obsess over it. you gotta understand that your in the very early stages. the only people who can tell your goin bald is you and other guys that are balding and know what to look for.

as far as the minox I've never touched it. its ashame that somebody gave you bad advice and told you to get on it. especially seeng as you dont need regrowth. if you maintained your hair just like how it is now for 5-6 years than trust me your doin good.

my regimin is 1.25mg proscar every other day. nizoral 2-3 times per week. and for my topical i switch all the time. ive used revivogen even before i got on proscar and it worked(because i caught it early), ive used zix, super zix
and now im using sprio 5%. i dont even use my topical every day. just whenever i can. probably 4-5 times per week. 1 thing you have to remember is to stay with your regimin. well really just the finasteride but ive been on it for over 2 years and it took me 8-9 months before i even realised that it was working.

you need to just get on your regimen, stop obssessing about it and enjoy your life and before you know it 3 years will go by and youll realize your hair looks better then than it ever did

Look in all honesty minus all the crap people say there really is only 1 not so great mpb treatment. Propecia is really the only thing in existance right now, but keep in mind if you wait for maybe 3 or 4 years other DHT inhibitors that might be potentially safer could come out. Its up to you propecia is about as safe as drugs get.

Side effects from propecia:

First and foremost, sex doesn't feel nearly as good and i don't blow nearly the load I used to. The semen is very watery, and penis does look a bit different.
Secondaries: Stretch marks on my knees and ass, weight gain, bloated face, more wrinkles under my eyes and on forehead.

I dropped finasteride once and all these side effects went away, and came back when i restarted the medication.

I've been off fin for 9 months now. Stretch marks are gone as are the wrinkles, however I still have some dark pathes under my eyes. As for the weight gain and bloated face, I weigh less now than I did before I started fin but I have a meatier build (more fat on stomach, buttocks and chest) now and face is also less toned than before but it has improved, so I guess it is slowly but steady improving.. How about you? Do you have a meatier build now or is everything back to normal?

As for the sex, I didn't notice any erection problem while I was on fin. I had even a higher libido for some odd reason but my sperm was more watery. Btw, if you want to improve the quality and amount of sperm, you should try not having sex or masturbating for 2-3 days while at the same time eating lot of zinc rich food such as meat & egg and you'll shoot like the pornstars. 

One other thing about my hair is that I no longer have that balding/thinning spot on the back of my head any more which I had before fin instead I have diffuse thinning now, mostly in front, side and below ears. I also didn't notice any big shed after quitting fin. How is you hair now and pre-fin?

i though rogaine is for external use only? By the way, i got the feeling that it is cheapo thing, because of the famous Regaine which got minoxidal (spelling?)

The propecia is too expensive lar..... about RM300 per month you know? And it cannot stop eating, once stop, it will come back.

really? that cheap? vince, become our labrat first.. ahahaha.. keep us posted

actually the pharmacist who prescribe propecia to me claim that he himself is using it since graduate from college. and i can see he got a nice head of hair.

the one side effect i am afraid of is the erectile dysfunctioning. but then according to him, none of those regular customers complaints about the issue...

if we take only for certain period, after stop taking it will our hair continue to drop?

you need to take it forever...

forever really on medicine

alamak..  .. then i need try to reduce on my caffein and msg intake already.

did my research. i can actually get the Propecia for RM150 per box. RM200 for Proscar. (4 months supply).

i think the price is reasonable. will go to a dermatologist with one of my 'thinning' friend for diagnosis and seek further advice.

dude.. do we have to take both or only 1 of it..
da price u stated according to which pharmacy?

thats wat bothers me the most... 

erm, a certain pharmacy, not convenient to tell here.

Proscar and Propecia are the same thing. Proscar 5mg, Propecia 1mg tablets. So if you buy Proscar you will need to cut 1 tablet into 5 pieces, but it's difficult to cut into 5.
my friend just bought one pack. i will start next month. wish me luck..

good luck my frend.. tell me if u see any improvements k? thanks.. 

actually when i went to consult the pharmacist she said i dont have to use it yet, cause it is not noticeable, her definition of male pattern baldness only applies to receding hairline...
