This gallery shows the comparison in hair count from December 2009, just before I started to take Dutasteride through to mid March 2011 (over 1 year into using Dutasteride). This gallery will be added to on a yearly basis which will allow time to show further progress with the drug.

In the photo above I have not yet started to use Dutasteride and at the time I had taken nothing to combat my hair loss since it started back in 2002/2003.
The above photo was taken in March 2011 to show visitors that I have not lost any more hair since I started to take Dutasteride. Whether I have grown any more hair on the lateral sides of my forehead I do not know for sure. This front photo better demonstrates that I have kept hold of all my hair since December 2009,
Having looked at the two photos above I believe it is too early to attempt to draw conclusions on Dutasteride's effect on my own hair loss to this date. I don't believe I have lost any hair since December 2009 but I can't be sure of it as the photo above and to the right does seem to show a slightly more fleshy area bang in the middle of the crown. Having said that the general radius of this bald patch does seem to show more thicker hair.
I may try to shoot some more photos shortly because I had just taken a shower in these ones having washed out the NanoFibres I regularly use in order to show my receding hair line on these photos. This is why my hair is swirly and lumped together more on the photo on the right and may not represent a completely clear picture of my hair count.
In any case I believe the true comparison will come in another one to two years time where I have given myself enough time to potentially grow back weakened hair cells and enough hair to notice the difference. That or atleast I will hopefully be able to compare more photos and observe with more confidence that my hair loss has not gotten any worse.
