Hi guys,
Well it's been almost a year since I did my final buzz and restarted growth of my mane from Square A since my hair was thinning and I wanted to go on a serious regrowth regimen. The year has had its ups and downs, started with using Minoxidil and Nizoral shampoo plus a crap ton of vitamins and supplements, had some great results right away but around May they began to taper off and I started shedding in a big way...
After several months of this, I decided to take the plunge and go on Finasteride by way of generic Proscar to save money. The shed continued until a few weeks ago and then came to a halt. My hair still looks decent but I noticeably thinned in several areas during this "Dread Shed" phase as they call it, but now that the Fina shed is over I have high hopes that my hair will come back in a major way and thicken back up again.
The other little "snag" was that in September I trimmed a couple inches off of the back and sides for job interviews, but now after landing this awesome new job where there are a whole bunch of longhairs working here already, trims are a thing of the past!
So now I'm on the big 3 - Using Minoxidil, Fina, and Nizoral... using Nizoral every day actually PLUS doing the Monistat thing every evening. That combined with the fact that i'm going to also go back on all my supplements (got depressed and lazy about taking them when I started going through the Dread Shed) I hope to see a huge surge in growth with my hair!
So anyway, here are a couple pics from this week to show where I'm at now... not the best growth after a year but considering the recomposition of my hair plus that little "trim", the next year's worth of growth and development should be amazing!
