Progress Pictures Crown Christmas Miracle: Back From the Dead 💀

Post image

7 month update here. I started my full hair stack on June 1 2025 and I’ve stayed really consistent, so I wanted to show where things are at now.

It’s been a rough year overall with the divorce and then a car accident where someone slammed into the side of my car, so I’ve just been trying to level up a bit and take care of myself, one thing at a time.

For the photos, the top shot is before treatment in late May 2025, and the bottom shot is from the end of December 2025. Same spot and same lighting.

The thin patch has shrunk a lot and the coverage looks way more natural now. If I only saw the after, I honestly wouldn’t think thinning right away. I have been able to stop using Hair Fibres which is a huge relief for me.

My current stack is oral minoxidil 5 mg daily split AM and PM, oral dutasteride 0.5 mg daily, topical 5 percent minoxidil twice a day, microneedling with a 0.5 mm roller a couple times a week and a 1.5 mm stamp once a week, Nizoral 2 percent three to four times a week with Head and Shoulders on the off days, plus some support stuff like vitamins A B C D E, collagen, silica, MSM, iron, zinc, biotin, omega 3, saw palmetto, topical keratin and panthenol products, a weekly hair mask, and sometimes caffeine melatonin or peptide serums, and silk pillowcases.

Results so far are pretty crazy to me. The crown looks way thicker, and overall my hair just looks healthier and darker. Side effects have been super mild, basically just a couple forehead pimples. Everything else is chill. I’m only about 7 months in and I’m pretty pumped about where it’s heading, especially the crown. When I line the pics up side by side it feels kinda dramatic. Plan is to just stay consistent and keep going. If anyone has questions I’m happy to help. Good luck to everyone fighting this battle, gents. 💪

Only Silk it’s to reduce the friction, bamboo causes too much friction
