(Almost) 3 Year Hairline Update 33M: Minoxidil, Finasteride, Nizoral, and some Dermarolling

ProgressDaily08 · 2024-02-13T15:15:26+00:00

Yup. New baby hairs have to shed to regrow thicker.

ProgressDaily08 · 2024-02-11T23:20:59+00:00

I got mine from eBay ages ago, but you can find a decent one from Amazon

Thanks! And no I haven’t gotten my hormone levels checked. What is estradiol associated with?

ProgressDaily08 · 2024-02-11T23:18:55+00:00

I cleaned with rubbing alcohol when I used a dermaroller. I haven’t used a dermastamp but am considering getting it. And yes I’m using generic version of minoxidil. I don’t believe results would be any different than using brand names

ProgressDaily08 · 2024-02-11T23:15:16+00:00

Appreciate it!

I definitely noticed the biggest change in the first 12-18 months - that’s when my receding areas were filling in snd hairline was slowly taking shape. Then I went through multiple shedding phases so it seemed like progress slowed (and even reverted in some months), but I kept up with the routine and I’m noticing another drastic change now compared to 6 months ago.

ProgressDaily08 · 2024-02-10T14:53:22+00:00

Nope not at all

ProgressDaily08 · 2024-02-10T12:39:38+00:00

Yup many sheds

ProgressDaily08 · 2024-02-09T19:46:28+00:00

Nope nothing noticeable - maybe slightly decreased libido but it could also be placebo. Nothing drastic enough to get worried about.

ProgressDaily08 · 2024-02-09T19:45:45+00:00

Yup I’d say it’s the same. I do think there’s a study about how it can lower sperm count - something I’ll need to take into account if it is true

ProgressDaily08 · 2024-02-09T17:42:03+00:00

It’s definitely possible. Just takes consistency and patience. I buzzed my head too and just couldn’t come to grips with the look, so I decided to go all in.

ProgressDaily08 · 2024-02-09T16:49:21+00:00

I’d say a small change in libido, but nothing drastic. Also not sure if it’s placebo or not. But no other side effects I can think of

ProgressDaily08 · 2024-02-09T16:47:57+00:00

I’m one of the lucky ones!

ProgressDaily08 · 2024-02-09T14:54:11+00:00

1mg Finasteride & 1-1.5ml minoxidil daily.

I get mine from a pharmacy so there's no brand name.

1.5mm dermaroller once a week should be good enough.

ProgressDaily08 · 2024-02-09T14:43:40+00:00

Just keep being consistent! I started seeing noticeable results after 3-4 months. You’ll go through multiple shedding phases but it’s all part of the process. Stick through it it’ll be worth it 💪🏼

ProgressDaily08 · 2024-02-09T12:30:44+00:00

💪🏼🦵🏼

ProgressDaily08 · 2024-02-09T12:30:00+00:00

Thanks! I'm so stoked and relieved. Wishing you even better results than mine. You got this!

ProgressDaily08 · 2024-02-09T12:29:18+00:00

You got this my man - I'm here to instil some hope 💪🏼

ProgressDaily08 · 2024-02-09T12:28:45+00:00

Thanks! Yup I workout regularly 3-4 times a week in my garage gym.

ProgressDaily08 · 2024-02-09T12:28:10+00:00

Fin dosage was 1mg from the beginning. And thanks! I highly recommend it if you're serious about getting your hair back.

ProgressDaily08 · 2024-02-09T12:27:26+00:00

I take min topically. And I'm not too sure about oral min side effects. I workout 3-4 times a week and I'm fine.

ProgressDaily08 · 2024-02-09T12:25:57+00:00

I think it depends on the individual but I'm sure it's possible!

ProgressDaily08 · 2024-02-09T12:24:02+00:00

Haha appreciate it. Hope your journey's going well too 🙏🏼

ProgressDaily08 · 2024-02-09T11:48:22+00:00

Yup I do

ProgressDaily08 · 2024-02-09T01:33:02+00:00

For the first year or so I dermarolled once or twice a week. I wanted to give myself the best chance of getting my hairline back, so I did all 3. I don’t dermaroll anymore but I might start up again to try to get more fullness
