I consulted with Doctor Griffin back 2.5 years ago at 39 years old, and he predicted I would continue losing hair. A lot, actually, if I remember correctly.

However, he prescribed me a minoxidil / finersterid topical solution to apply daily at a steal at $40 per month. I'm just sayin....

FWIW, I'm using my last bottle this month and will order some Rogaine and Propecia.


300 'mini' grapfts by Latham's Hair Clinic - 1991 (Removed 50 plugs by Cooley 3/08.)
2750 FU 3/20/08 by Dr. Cooley

Current regimen:
1.25 mg Proscar M-W-F
Rogaine 5% Foam - once daily
AndroGel - once daily
Lipitor - 5 mg every other day
Weightlifting - 2x per week
Jogging - 3x per week

Simply put, hair loss is predetermined by your genes and when it stops is different for everyone. Hair loss will stop when you reach the genetically predestined point of baldness. Keep in mind also that not everyone will reach the same level of baldness.

Hair loss is both progressive and unpredictable and nobody will be able to tell you how bald you will be with any degree of accuracy.

Family history of hair loss can be an indicator but is not a guarantee.

Additionally, hair loss treatments such as Propecia and Rogaine can help slow down or stop the effects of genetic hair loss.

I hope this helps.
