you've tried so many solutions. but why not give finasteride a shot? I am 42 this year. I suffered hairloss, mainly receding hairline, since 25. In the norwood scale, I was slightly less than NW3. Last year, after more than 16 years of hairloss, I started taking finasteride 1mg per day. Since then my hair has grown thicker and healthier. I can see a lot of miniaturized hair has become terminal. I foresee more hair growth in the coming six months. Currently I would rate myself as NW2. As for side effects, i experienced watery semen during the first two weeks. After that everything is okay.

From past experience of a close person...

She has been loosing hair for over 10 years and have spend more than 10k on hair treatments. From traditional to derma to shampoo to sinseh to tablets to changing pillow case to whatever, the disease struck on that faithful day.

Admitted for a week and after long medication, hair fall lessen. It cant be stopped because is a self immune system attacking another.

Proper sleep, food, exercise and less stressful lifestyle helps.

Go for one blood test to rule out the disease. Thereafter you can seek other further treatment or accept the truth is partly genetic.

You didnt mentioned your age and gender. Lupus will attack females more than males.

TS, your problem of receding hairline and thinning crown is probably genetic. It's better to accept the inevitable than spending money chasing after "cures" which don't work.

Having a brother with thick hair at advanced age doesn't mean it's not genetic. I have one brother whose hair is still thick at 50. Another brother is almost bald like me way before 50. It's just the luck of the genetic draw.

Male pattern baldness can certainly start before 30. It is unstoppable. However the problem seems to affect the sufferer more than it should. Your friends, family, colleagues and associates don't really bother. Neither does your wife if you have one. If you are still in the dating game most girls don't bother either. Your character and economic status matters more to them than your hairline.

Hi ts
There is a need to know ur gender.
Then look into ur hair loss pattern
There is step wise management.
Alopecia type, then find management step wise.
The only med that approved for hair problem alopecia is minoxirdil, about 60% respond to it. The next one is the vit b. The last one is finasteride. This androgen inhibitor may cause cancer in male gender.
If female, may be hormonal therapy like estrogen and other agents may help. Till now, there is no concensus in managing alopecia. Currently is depended on the doctor experience.
Medical condition may causes hair loss too like anemia or thyroid disease, scapl infections.
If wanna visit dermatologist, u need to go for those familiar with hair loss. Not all of them are familir with hair loss disease.

With hair and money, one can fish at the sea.

With no hair but money, one can only fish at pond.

Anyway, that is not the answer ts wants.

I don't see the truth of your statements. If a receding hairline is important to a girl she is not good wife material so why bother?

The answer may not be what TS wants but it will save him immeasurable money, energy and time in chasing a cure for which there is no cure. I prefer not to give him false hopes just to feed him what he wants to hear.

Free consultation/advise over the forum without examining the patient is similar to witch practise.

As though every person facing hair loss has similar or identical trend.

I seen people trying to save their last few strands of hair at the barbershop. They could have just shave bald as there is nothing left to save.

Everyone takes hair loss differently. Some are particular about appearance, some as 'fashion" etc.

Finasteride will cause prostate cancer if you take for long term ( 10 years and above). This is what the dermatologist told me.

In the dating game most girls don’t bother? Are you sure??? All my female friends said they ONLY want a guy who has hair, not someone who is bald.

Based on this, between 2 and 3. I think slightly closer to 2.

You can try laserband (Low light laser therapy). I’m currently using Hairmax Laserband for my hair loss, I’m also at Norwood 2. After use for 6 months, I can say that it’s definitely effective. But please take note that the laserband is more effective in the crown area than on the hairline area. This treatment was recommended by a dermatologist.

From my limited knowledge, millions of men around the world use finasteride (1mg) for long term, 10 years above. Proscar (5mg finasteride) is used for benign prostatic hyperplasia patient. Even after hair transplantation, most doctors will still recommend taking finasteride if the patient has the potential to further lose hair.

Don't usually reply to any threads but this made me chuckle a bit.

You're more prone to getting cancer from other environmental/dietary factors from daily life. Fin's dosage for BPH is 3-4x higher than MPB and is typically used for older individuals (risk factor for cancer is more likely la). Considering fin was initially administered for older patients alone is sufficient to state it's benefit>risk.

So short answer is it doesn't work that way.
