    hi mitzkity I was on a regime of minoxidil 2% and sprionolactone for about 5 years. Together, they definitely slowed down my hair loss, so they do work. If you actually look at medical studies, only a small percentage of people actually regrow hair using minoxidil and spironolactone, most however do...

    Hi Sri, more information is needed before anyone can give you pointers where are you losing you hair (hairline, crown, backs, sides)? is it diffuse loss (thinning all over) or can you actually see patches of loss? xxx

    Ceramic VS Titanium Plates

    titanium plates heat up faster than ceramics......and is slightly better on frizzy hair. I've got cermic GHD's, they heat up in under 20 seconds, I don't think i'm in that much of a hurry to need my straighteners to heat up faster than that :) so i wouldn't bother personally, ceramics are...

    i'm afraid there is nothing that has complete proof to work with frontal / hairline thinning in women, the best option is the minoxidl regime, with perhaps addition of spironolactone as Reindel points out lace wigs might be an option. if your friend does not wish to cover all of her scalp (due...

    Revivogen

    as the moderator says, Revivogen can only halt hair loss at best (I do take umbrage to the company calling it Revivogen actually, it doesn't 'revive' hair!) but at least its a product that has some scientific backing. Add minoxidil (most popular brand name is rogaine, though you can get cheaper...
