So, Im 33 and it's not looking to kill me any time soon. But when you plan on something like that taking you out, it's a lot easier to validate doing drugs. So, my 20s definitely took a few years off my life at the very least.

toadfan64 02/17/23 3:31:23 PM #57:	Finasteride and Minoxidil as other have stated is what will do you best. I started last April and already am I noticing my hair has gotten a bit thicker and I've had some regrowth as well, especially in the front part of my head where it was really almost gone. I still have a ways to go, and my crown has been pretty slow to come back, but I think the numbers are like 90%+ for people to either maintain or see some regrowth while on fin/min. Also, you can look into a hair transplant down the line, but that's gonna cost you like $10k in the US (like $5k in Turkey/Mexico though), and you'll still have to get on finasteride anyways to maintain your hair. You could shave it bald and see how it looks on you, and if it's acceptable, then no need to worry about any of this. --- Brawl FC - 5412-9555-6314 Also known as Toadfan64 <cite>toadfan64 posted [p:971633614] in Starting t...

EightySixTwoTwo 02/17/23 4:20:18 PM #62:	If I can add another insight, given that we are in a gaming website: traction alopecia caused by gaming headsets. Yes, wearing those headsets can stress the scalp and cause thinner hair on top of your head in the long-term use. Which is true because I received for Christmas one of those big Turtle Beach wireless gaming headsets for my Xbox and they might be awesome as a far as the sound goes but the headset is so tight it felt like my top hair was tired of being pulled after an intense gaming session. That definitely cannot be good for the scalp if you are an avid gamer that plays often. Seriously, Google it. <cite>EightySixTwoTwo posted [p:971634607] in Starting t...

I've been browsing the hairloss sub r/tressless for close to a decade now and have seen some SERIOUSLY fantastic results from people.
