Long story short I've been struggling with a receding hairline and balding for nearly 3 years. Slowly and surely my hair continued to thin despite using minoxidil 5%, Nu-Hair, excessive Biotin doses, Nioxin shampoos and conditioners, etc. Now I'm using Perfect Image Solutions 15% minoxidil enhanced with 5% Azelaic Acid, as well as Biotin B-Complex Thickening Shampoo and Conditioner. I began noticing less hair on the bottom of my shower drain as well as less hair in my hands after washing my hair and applying the minoxidil. So far I've been using these products for 2 weeks and I'm very pleased with the results. My girl and most of my friends have noticed a difference as well.
I haven't cycled but plan on doing so in the next 3 months. I'm a bit hesitant on risking losing more hair. But I'm fairly confident that I'll be able to regrow any lost hair after the cycle.
