somehow I think the photos are upside down from each other based on the direction of the hair swirl

I ordered from ebay 2 years ago, tried for a few weeks by applying sparingly on my front hairline once a day at night. I was also using normal 5% minoxidil during the day. I stopped because I was scared of the systemic side effects and I noticed my eyelids kept twitching during the period when I...

I think the halflife for minoxidil is 12 hours but correct me if I am wrong. So ideally the application should be twice a day for effectiveness. I used to apply on my hairline once a day but didn't notice mich results. Switched to twice a day and regrew abit of the temples, though they are...

I'm having the exact problem with you. I'm 30 with a maturing hairline and temple is receding sideways instead of the typical inwards, with a bit of crown thinning thay my dermatologist had dismissed as being paranoid. I'm on Minoxidil and stemoxydine now. Minoxidil has helped to thicken the...

Does it matter if the 70% ethyl alcohol is denatured (additives added) or not? I read that the additive can be methanol which is poisonous for ingestion but not sure if it can be applied safely on scalp. For the zinc sulphate, is this referring to zinc sulphate heptahydrate (I see alot on taobao)?

How about scalp massaging? I understand its effectiveness is controversial but if balding was due to scalp tension, doesn't massaging introduce more tension, or is it because it actually relieves tension build up and hence helps to alleviate balding.

That hairline probably has remained unchanged but the temple area might have receded to give the slight M shape. You may want to compare with an even earlier photo.

When I visited a village in Vietnam last December, I noticed that the males had very good hairline for their age. From what I remember when I attended an event where the family invited the whole village to celebrate adulthood of the child, I saw none bald men. Those who looked age 40 and above...

Your temples are receding fast, and probably thinning on the crown region. Get on treatment asap as mentioned by others. Most likely can thicken your crown area and possibly restore some hairline at your temples.

U have some receding hairline, the sides are receding slowly to form the typical M shape. You may want to consider starting on Minoxidil 5%. I saw 2 dermatologists from the same skin centre, the senior doctor said I was not balding while the second junior doctor said I was showing early sign of...

My balding started from this big swirl and soon i realised i was having a frontal receding hairline. Perhaps u can show us a picture of ur front area.

The stemoxydine helped grow some vellus hair after the 3 month regime but nothing more than that. When I started minoxidil, some of those vellus hair shedded and got replaced with thicker hair. I recently switched to Serioxyl which contains stemoxydine but much cheaper, partly because I think...

If i remember correctly, the Y chromosome that defines Men is getting shorter and shorter, and most diseases are found on the Y chromosome rather than X. So like it or not, Men are fucked in the long run, u probably see females giving birth without males next time because science has proven that...

Hey sorry i didnt see your message earlier. The shed duration varies across people and maybe also the stage of balding but i think mine lasted about a month or so before it died down. But sometimes i still experience higher shedding like 30 to 40 hairs during shower. I count it by purposely...

Myth busted, all are equally prone.
