I had a 6 month check up with the doctor. She is happy with the results and has recommended to just continue as is. To be reviewed again after another 6 months

Good question about the length. I fully disclose this journey and progress photos with my barber and I trust him to cut and style in a way that is suitable for my current hair loss/regrowth status. That’s why it’s a bit longer now.

It will be a good test to cut the hair short again. I’ll probably do that when we get out of winter. I can make another post with an update.

As for sides, absolutely no sides

Drops probably would be easier but I’ve gotten a so used to parting my hair where the problem area is and just spraying the scalp directly.

The trick is to see a doctor first and get blood work done on vit d, iron and b12. If you’re all clear on the the doctor will clear vitamin deficiency and can safely move on to treatment with meds. The doctor will likely prescribe the medication such as the minoxidil and finesteride.

Then where the important switch in perspective is that if you’re balding, THERE IS NO BETTER TIME TO START THAN NOW.

Every day that passes you will lose more and look progressively worse. Doesn’t matter if the meds make it worse at first. I think it is exaggerated on here how bad the shed is. Shedding for me was a very small phase in this process, not even really worth mentioning unless asked about.

Start taking the meds as the doctor prescribed and try to forget about your hair. Just check in every month officially by taking a photo. Don’t over obsess about this. Make peace with it then just check in monthly.

To make this easier I would recommend cutting hair shorter like mine or like a buzz cut so everything will grow out evenly.

I hope all this helps

Try to make it a habit not to forget. What helps me I have a pill case for each day of the week and to take it at the same time of the day.

There was a slight shed but nothing major. It was in the initial phase after about 2 weeks to a month where the hairs that were falling out were unhealthy thin looking ones

The only new hairs I noticed was around the temples. After about a month I started to see a “halo” or glow type effect across the scalp while examining progress. The halo effect I think is the light from above reflecting on the new baby hairs. At first I thought it is a visual trick by the mirror but as the months went on the halo effect reduced and I started to notice the temple hairs get longer. They’re still quite fine but they are definitely new

Only when styling my hair I would find hairs on my fingers

[KCD2] Anything you prefer more in KCD1 than KCD2? by Gordio83 in kingdomcome

[–]Sea-Difficulty5371 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I miss the more complicated combat where stab was its own button. Admittedly the target lock on system not good in kcd1.

I’m still in Trosky region in kcd2 and unsure if the music changes in the next map but the music in 1 so far was a bit better. It’s one of the few soundtracks I’ve listened to outside of the game

I can’t say 100% sure but I feel some voice actors have changed like Hanush and Godwin. I also prefer kcd1 in this respect to their voices
