Hi All,
I have the type of hair loss where I am thinning all over on top - I'm probably at about 50% loss now so it's noticeable even when cropped short.
I did try propecia in the past, but had negative side effects and don't want to use it again.
So my questions:
1. Is there a way to have a HT and retain other hair without using propecia? Or alternatively, is it realistic that I could not use meds at all and eventually replace all of my hair with subsequent HTs down the road? I have been for a HT consultation in the past, and told that I have good donor hair.
2. Given that my type of hair loss is the one where I am thinning all over, I'm not sure if I am a good candidate for a HT. There is no 'clear' area where I have no hair, since I don't have a bald spot and hairline is not receding. Photo attached for reference.
Thanks for your help!
