Do androgen blockers stop hair loss from male pattern baldness?

which causes the frizzies from hell.

Yeah, frikin irritating isn't it. The novelty has certainly worn off.

Kristi, how long ago did your front hairs fall?

Well now that is a difficult question to answer.  It happens so very slowly over so many years that you don't really realize it is happening.  For comparison, I looked at a pic of me 6 years ago.  There was a slight improvement, which surprised me.  Occasionally it happens.  But I still had a long way to go.  So now I am in that awkward stage of excitedly waiting for the transplants to begin growing in.  But that's another story.

Fairygirl, LOL! 

Interesting to hear that I am not the only one who has had Spiro cause a general drying out of the hair.

If they are growing back it's a good sign.
I heard that it is pretty much sure that you get all back over the course of few years if it's only been about 20 years since they fell. but you really need to eliminate testosterone and dht for it to happen.

Well, it certainly was not a bad sign I agree.  But the noticeable gains I had were on top.  Around the front, when I say slight, I totally mean it.  That's a whole lot better than more loss.  But it was not enough for me, as I wanted a female hairline.  I also need to say that most people who know me in my "other" life do not think I have anything to worry about as far as hair loss.  Perhaps, but it would never have been passable, which is my goal.

P.S. If you want to see how much I had receded, look a the bottom pic on this link.  But better hurry because I was about to remove it.

I had actually started to get some major hair loss in the past year or so.  However even what many of you would call little time I have been on everything?  I had seen my hair thicken and some of that loss start growing again.  Even my mother noticed the thickening hair and I learned I have natural curls as I let it grow. 

I had always cut it because it was the thing to do and expected.  Now?  I also learned from my mother that as a baby?  I had very feminine natural curls which she had cut off when I was little for my first haircut and such.  I think my mother had many signs about things and ignored them.  She even made me a pink blanket before I was born and then got rid of it when she found out.  Maybe god did toss her signs and she chose to ignore them.  Either way... I look forward to seeing the curls in full down the road.
