What's your age? What's your genetic predisposition to male pattern baldness? Without knowing these things, it is impossible to tell if these products actually work. Did you lose your hair and grow it back using this stuff?
Hey,
I turned 31 years old this year. I had super thick hair growing up and in my teens. Gradually it's thinned out a little and I have noticed slight recession at the temples. I had the type of hair girls and barbers would comment on how nice and thick it was. If you just met me now than you'd see nothing wrong at all with my hair but if you knew me way back in the day you can see its not as thick.
I take after my mother's father in many ways and the guy had super thick hair even in his late 20's from pics I've seen of him. But, I remember him as the guy with the bad comb over....
Everyone loses hair gradually....it's extremely rare to see guys who don't lose any hair at all as they age. Maybe I'm being extremely paranoid and I don't suffer mpb but the way I've been getting thinner over the years despite naturally having very thick hair like my grandfather tells me I should do something about it.
Now wrt the regrowth I'm seeing now I could only attribute to the emu oil and minoxidil 5% / azelaic acid 5% combo I'm on right now. The only time I used any hair loss products before starting this thread was back in 2005 for a few months. It was 2% minox...didn't see any results good or bad.
What I'm seeing now is some dark hairs in the temples where I receded a bit over the years. Not so much thickness yet but I'm sure adding finasteride will only help. The three things you should be using if hair loss is a concern is the big three as they say...minox, nizoral, and finasteride. The latter is the only one I'm missing atm. Theres others that will only help like the previous ones mentioned all through this thread....if you can add them in they will only help. Emu oil btw is an amazing product not only for hair loss....
If steroids made me go bald I wouldn't use them...
You can get the benefits of gear and still keep your hair imo. I was having my doubts but for me, adding the minoxidil / Azelaic Acid 5% mix after applying emu oil on my scalp has worked wonders.
