    What do you use to control odor on your scalp and piece?

    De/re every week (I do mine every Friday morning), it might seem like a slight chore but it does prevent excess residue buildup. Wash your hair twice a week, once with shampoo & conditioner (I recommend the Loreal Serie Expert range) and the other without any product but make sure the water goes...

    R these companies reliable ??

    Go with the ones that have forums, and like everything else the larger sellers are the most reliable. Pay with a credit card (not debit!!!) so the bank takes the fall in case you get an unsatisfactory product and the seller refuses to refund.

    My new hair system, pics

    Your hair system looks dope, considering that blending browns (or anything but black) is difficult to achieve well. $400 isn't bad, the $200 units are usually of sub-standard quality and seem to shed quicker. I've used HD before but they aren't great, I stopped using them when I discovered green...

    Which hair piece company sells the best units now?

    They make them slightly too dense in order to make up for the shedding that will occur later. If they made them of perfect density then customers would stop ordering after complaining that the system only lasts a month. After ordering 7-8+ you may notice, like myself, the changes in quality...

    Worth using hair fibres whilst waiting for regrowth?

    Remember that you need a completely dry scalp or else it will look cakey and obvious. It might affect it should you choose to hair dry your head after minoxidil instead of air dry. As a guide it will add 15-20mintues of extra work every day and that's after experience. It won't fall out if properly...

    which shampoo to use on off nizoral days?

    Use 'dry shampoo' in between, no shampoos. Ask your gf/wife/mom about it they probably will have some to lend.

    starting minoxidil as soon as hairloss is first noticed, good/bad idea?

    Start asap, the later you start the bigger of a problem it will be and the more expensive it will be should you go for a hair transplant one day. Start with 5% minoxidil regaine/rogaine foam and the finas. If you go to your GP he may be able to give you a prescription for proscar for you to cut into 4ths/5ths...

    Sudden hair loss after using Rogaine for years

    Your body eventually starts to build up a tolerance to Rogaine just like propecia, 6 years seems right on time actually. Try to get higher % minoxidil or make your own as a last resort with minoxidil powder + solvent base. You should look for more ways for the problem, but if you stop minoxidil then you...

    heavy shedding after stopping minoxidil

    He probably had bad irritation and mega dandruff, it's not like he's taking propecia and got ED haha. OP, try using the original rogaine/regaine 5% foam — it's more water-based and absorbs quick enough to prevent irritation or dandruff build up. And no, it's unlikely that your hair will grow...

    Applying Rogaine foam %5 Correctly

    You're right the instructions are very vague. Don't use on unaffected areas (i.e. back). If you use it on bare skin areas you might only get baby hairs as most of the follicles on that area have already died off. Also, I recommend leaving the foam can under running cold tap water for a minute...

    minoxidil 15%

    As a last resort you could buy pure minoxidil powder (check ebay) and then mix with a base — google for instructions.

    Did minoxidil change your hair color?

    It only can effect the thickness of the hair shaft (i.e. baby hairs not thick hairs) not colour. I think those photos have a different white balance.

    Can rogaine regrow my hairline?

    Well, if you read the instructions it says that it's only for the vertex, and only fda-approved for that area as well. Then again there are many people that think they know better than the manufacturers of rogaine/regaine ;/

    Which hair piece company sells the best units now?

    Their website says "copyright 2005-2010" with little information and seems very unprofessional — are you sure there was someone on their end that actually knows of your order. Seems either a little scammy or HOH is owned by a guy thats stopped checking mails. I hope you used a credit card to...

    Hair System or forget about it!?

    Haha obviously not, but I doubt I would have gone the hair system route without going through hair transplants first. I'm still in my 20's I've turned my hair into a hobby and go for more edgy hairstyles (actually the reason why I have my strip scar micropigmented). Live and learn. I only wish everyone...
