O.K. I have a couple of questions, and I'm sorry for asking them really because I know they have been asked before by others, but I'm having a crappy day. Tylers been on minoxidil, Dr. Lee's Xandrox 5% and spironolactone 5% night time only, since Oct.13th, he has lost more hair in the temples but I...

The hairs with the white bulbs are hairs that are being prematurely ejected. The are located in the fatty layer of the scalp. When a mature hair is ready to be shed, because its growing cycle has finnished, this white bulb shrinks away from its base and then is ejected and a new hair begins to...

I've read on accutane sites that since Vit. A is a fat soluable vitamin that it can remain in the liver for 2 to 9 years. I read one person started getting their hair back sometime after the 2 year mark, but I think the damage is already done. I wouldn't ask my doctor to perform any tests on...

Has anyone here hilighted there hair while on the beginning stages of minoxidil? I have a client I'm trying to help, he is on minoxidil 5%, finasteride, and nizoral every 3rd day. He started Oct.14th, and wants me to put in his usual hilights in Nov. or Dec. I'm not sure how the hair would react, I...

We did the detoxifying with Milk thistle as soon as Tyler's hairloss was becoming more apparent. He started last March with a whole detoxifiying, routine with a homeopath. For 6 months Tyler experimented with a whole bunch of naturopath treatments. The hairloss did not seem to be slowing down...

The picture where Bens hair is buzzed and has a pronounced widow's peak, maybe his real hairline, but you can tell how thick his hair is, even buzzed, unless it has been cosmetically doctored. If his hairline is widow peaked, he may not have liked it, and in the hair world, this can be fixed...

I know its too early to add anything, because I want to see what the xandrox, spironolactone combo yields. I was a little concerned that he wasn't doing enough with the products. As you guys told me the minoxidil is greasy and although I can get the spironolactone to where it needs to go. I wouldn't send him off to...

Dude's really?!!!!! That is so his hair in all pictures. I have many clients with super thick hair like that. If thats fake, I'm hang'n up my scissors. Don't be bitter honeys.

Jayman: The hairloss (transplant specialist) I saw in September said that if you want to thicken up thinning areas of hair minoxidil will do this. As I know you already know, its suppose to thicken the hair shaft of new hairs, some by upto 50%. You also know I'm no expert, and its too early to...

I was wondering if anybody has used or has an opinion on the use of retin-A with minoxidil after you have been on accutane? If you have read any of my posts my son was on accutane @ 14, started and continued loosing his hair and is now 16 and a pretty close norwood 2. We have started...

I think it looks good combed forward, in the pic you can't tell you are loosing hair. The only time you can tell its thinning is when its wet. So I say keep the long hair if you liked it for the winter months, (I'm not sure where you're from, if you get winter), and then when its summer cut it...

College Chemistry Student: Do you have any pics of what your hair looks like? The combing forward style is pretty easy to manage if its not too long, you do need to use some putty to comb it forward, then either spike the bangs or let the front just lay there if you do not have too much...

Jayman: I think you are lucky that you have a high hairline. It still looks intact. My son has a lower hairline in the center and it makes the "island" more pronounced. The look chemistry was talking about with the hair all combed forward is very popular right now, that is how I cut Tylers when...

I went back in and had a look at your pics. Its hard to tell, but I would say Tyler has definetly more recession in the temples than you. Your facial shapes are different, you have a broader forhead so it doesn't look like you have alot of temple recession. Tyler has a narrow forhead and it...

I use to think Tyler was a 2.5 when I first started researching everything and I was really upset and in freak out mode. Now that I'm become more experienced and calmed down, I'd say he is somewhere past a Nor.1 and not quite a full Nor.2. Both Tyler and I would be happy if he just can stay at...
