A breakthrough at five weeks - It's working!

I have now been on the course of therapy for my hair loss for five weeks. I have taken DHT Blockers every day, one in the morning and another before bedtime. I have been using HLCC Scripts scalp therapy to soften the sebum on my scalp and Scripts DHT blocking and nutritional shampoo. I have also been using the nutritional conditioner and Maximum Growth Therapy applied to my scalp most days. 

At the start, five weeks ago, I had no hair at all on the front half of my head from where my original hairline would have been, a little tuft of bum-fluff a little way back. This first picture was taken two weeks after I had started on my regime. There are no hairs here at all.


After five weeks, when looking in the bathroom mirror with the sunlight coming in the window over my shoulder I noticed a halo of light along the top of my scalp and on closer examination I could see lots of tiny hairs growing.



These two shots are taken at the same distance from the surface but in the second pic I angled the scope back slightly. The hairs are very fine and will have short roots which will have minimised over the years but as the hairs grow in size so will the follicle containing them in the skin. The hairs will eventually grow in thickness and length as in the diagram below.
