    Help; worried about using regaine or not? With pics of current hair loss

    Acquamarine, your head of hair is still pretty impressive. I'd certainly want to be sure that you've got a genetic disposition to hair loss (i.e. male pattern baldness) before you go all out on the big three. Even when you do, I'd layer the treatments. Some people will respond well to just minoxidil. Others need...

    Thread of women commenting negatively on baldness

    Apparently this appeared on Dateline: New York. Apologies if old news. I found the double standards highlighted in the last paragraph interesting: "Women, too, are torn about the prospect for a cure for baldness. I’d love for my balding husband to have his head of hair restored,” said one woman...

    2 months in a test group of a new product.

    I sure hope it works better than other products I know about, also researched in Finland (namely Viviscal and Bioscal)

    28 Yearold males needs advice.

    Yes, the big three are finasteride, minoxidil and Nizoral. I've only ever used the liquid and am happy with the results. The laser comb is an 'at the margin' treatment. I recommended it because you're looking to avoid the sexual sides (which are by no means guaranteed) and there aren't a lot of other...

    28 Yearold males needs advice.

    I was the same age when I first noticed I was losing my hair. You can always go for a combination of Nizoral (5%), Minoxidil and Laser Comb. Ultimately that's about what worked for me. I left it a lot later than you to tackle the problem but restored my hair to a point where you wouldn't...

    cyclists with full heads of hair? Doping?

    Kirk, I like the way you think. As Tim Ferriss notes in his 4-hour body book: most breakthroughs in performance (and appearance) enhancement start with animals and go through the following adoption curve: racehorses – AIDS patients (because of muscle wasting) and body builders – elite athletes...

    New literature on PGD2 by Garza & Co.

    Shivers, if you go to this link and click on 'Free PMC Article' just above the images you can get the whole paper. Assuming this is the study you were after I had no trouble doing a post. Not sure what part you're interested in, though. Hope that helps. - - - Updated - - - Sorry, itchy...

    Need advice on hair style and successful regimens for my type of thinning

    Personally, I wouldn't go all out. I'd pick one or the other of Rogaine and finasteride, along with the nizoral. Why? You've obviously got a better chance using both, but why spend more and risk additional side-effects if you don't need it. In your case, since you've mentioned you haven't progressed...

    Starting a regimen with no history of hairloss in family?

    I'd stop and take a few deep breaths before undertaking the course of action you propose. In the first place what's going to cost you money is not the dermatologist, but the years you'll spend either popping pills or applying lotion. Grab a calculator and do the math over 10 years, or whatever...

    How to Cure Back Pain ?

    Two things that have worked great for my back pain are a Physio who incorporated a lot of Pilates movements and machines into the treatment, based in London. Incredibly effective. On the other end of the scale I tried a practitioner who is into light touch chiropractic manipulation (almost an...

    Am I going to bald early? Will seriously reward a few bitcoins to honest answers :(

    Keep the bitcoins, but agree with the others, no sign of male pattern baldness from the photos you've provided.

    do these properties effect or reduce the chance of baldness

    You'll see various threads on the forum on skull expansion / head shape which relate to your question. Paul Taylor has produced a decent ebook (google: paul taylor skull expansion) on the subject and there's also a good article on worldhairloss (google: worldhairloss the mechanics of male...

    Looking for opinions on my hair

    D.A.M, for what it's worth I'll reinforce Brian's point regarding sticking to one thing and assessing results. As you're young a strong response (finasteride) is probably warranted, but take your time to add extra, if at all possible. There's a tendency to want to get results, FAST. Understandable...

    How to apply Nizoral shampoo?

    I'd stick with the 1% if you can. Nizoral is not an everyday shampoo. I wouldn't use it more than every second day and don't leave it in for more than 5 minutes each time. Whilst it's a medicated shampoo, and topical medications need time to penetrate and do their job, 10 minutes is...

    Does surgery help to boost your selfesteem?

    Maxwell Maltz Does anyone else find swingline747's posts addictive? I'm starting to read every post he's written. Starting to wonder if I'm being hypnotised by the pair of rhythmically swaying boobs at the bottom of his posts. Lol ... Stefanovic, your question stirred memories of a book I...
