I was very excited to try this out as I had read so many great reviews. I took the plunge and ordered some. I could not have been anymore disappointed. Whereas dermatch allows for some subtlety this crap just made massive clumps of sawdust on my head...and it felt like saw dust...and came...

If we only have a limited number of hair cycles. 20-40.....and using tricomin speeds up these cycles so there's less resting phase (in a simplified manner.) Doesn't it stand to reason that tricomin actually speeds up hair loss? Even though it may look better for awhile? I'd rather go for...

i remember when i first started finasteride. I thought i was growing tits, because it was one of the side effects...i stayed up until like 4 in the morning watching mens swimming to see if their tits were bigger than mine. IF it happens, it will be really obvious, stay the course. I wish I started a...

Thanks for the advice. I guess it's true that I'd have the impression that my hairloss has accelerated given the contrasts. I find it amazing that a professional couldn;t tell that you were wearing dermatch and thats very encouraging. I'll try Topik this summer. As far as stains go, I...

I too felt like a million bucks he first few times. I thought it was a miracle. It took literally seconds to make my hair look lik ei didnt have any loss at all, and it looked natural. Women were smiling at me for the first time in my life. To this date, no one has noticed, and that included...

Ahhhh, a chance to take a moddeling gig away from some smug NW1 and give it someone on this site? sign me up!!! Dermatch instantly made my hair look a lot thicker and fuller while remaining somehow undetectable . Thus far, its looked extremely natural and no one has even eyed it as anythign...

Damn azuri! we're on the same schedule!!! Just an update to help anyone with similar questions. I have definately concluded that roganie cannot be put over derm in any way. I could literally feel it not sinking into my scalp. I could actually see it (liquid rogaine) just sitting there. Makes...

Billy: Wow, no comments? You must have got it early, or at least early enough. I know i DID catch it, but didn;t do anything about it for probably 2-3 years. I think a lot of people are all like "my hairloss will just stop" or "theres NOTHING that works,otherwise there wouldnt be bald people...

Wow, good to hear so many of you are doing well! @Billy G: If I were to rate my hairloss aggressiveness on a scale of 1-10, 10 being super aggressive, I'd say it was a 7 before meds. And the only reason it wasnt higher is because I lost so much in one year. From 21-22, it was probably a 9...

I originally found this site around the Athens Olympics after my dermatologist aunt recommended rogaine and propecia. I got very good success very early and as a result have avoided the site. The worst hairloss times for me were 10 years ago, reading through every single post on this site to...

Hi, I did a search for this and couldn't find what I'm looking for. ANy help will be appreciated. Bit of an update: I've been on big 3 for 10 years with great results thus far. I recently started wearing dermatch. It has so far been an absolute miracle. Looks great, so real and so natural...

I've been using finasteride daily since the Athens Olympics. SInce then I've been on this site like 4 times. Most of my worrying, paranoia and thoughts about hairloss were a rersult of spending hours reading about hairloss everyday. Oh...and no side effects in 9 years.

I started losing my hair at about 17 (damn, half my life now!) and remember going through the same thing that you're goign through. I waited too long to do anything about it. I started treating it when i was about 26. For what its worth, treatments have maintained and improved what I had for...

So there's a new guy at work. The guy's a NW6 and he shaves his sides. I'm a diffuse thinner with no bald spots and a NW2 hairline..but my hair is really thin, almost like baby hair. As soon as I saw him, I knew everyone was going to compare the two of us and laugh. Of course..sure enough...

Man this "I'm a Norwood 2 in my mid 30's" stuff is depressing to those of us actually losing our hair. As far as the original question goes, I think you look better with hair, certainly no need to shave it.
