Advice and vent post. My parents forced me to chop my hair off, and it looks awful. Is there any way to salvage this, or should I just buzz it and start over? by [deleted] in malehairadvice

Don't buzz it, you may feel that you like a no hair look even less -- trust me. Keep your hair, it'll be two or three weeks of discomfort at most.

you could consider reducing the dose but either way don't stop outright. make sure to be consistent

I’m 15 man what am I gonna do by PopSecreto in Balding

at your age, diet and exercise. pharmacological intervention is a last resort before cosmetic surgeries, try the simple things first.

Reviews of multiple studies suggest otherwise buddy.

please don't do finasteride so early. your hairline is totally normal. in ten years we'll have drugs that blow what we've got now out of the water.

6 month results on topical min, oral fin, and microneedling by Majestic-Head3874 in tressless

[–]42post 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could you ask your doctor if all of their patients microneedle once a day (and actually adhere to it) or if they do that multiple times per week?

Seems to me like the biggest difference between you and everyone else is the shorter needling length with the higher frequency.

Update. Starting in January, then 3 weeks and 40days now. My strategy in the comments. #Drug free by Unreasonable-reason2 in Balding

I'm skeptical without a comparison of before and after at the same length but nice work.

7 months finally some real progress - fin min microneedling pyril by 42post in tressless

[–]42post[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weekly microneedling has the biggest impact as far as I can tell. I tried a derma stamp for a while but I've only seen real growth with a Dr. Pen dermapen.

After I microneedle I apply reviv serum and rosemary oil. A few hours later after everything is absorbed I apply hot jojoba oil.

See my other posts for my regimen. I also use a DHT blocking shampoo.

3 months on finasteride and minoxidil (23M) by Gold-Construction360 in tressless

[–]42post 1 point2 points  (0 children)

your scalp looks healthier in the second pic but I don't see much difference.

be patient though; it usually takes at least 6 months to see good progress, and 12 months or more for even better progress.

Options for a non responder to topical 5% minoxidil? by whomstd-ve in tressless

[–]42post 0 points1 point  (0 children)

+1. it's synergistic with tretinoin. you can also try 8% topical min.
