Re: Ateam505 Story -(22/Diffuse Thinning -PICS! Hey Ateam505, I feel your pain with the hair loss. I am in about the same situation that you are in. I am also a diffused thinner with a receding hairline. I began Propecia and Nizoral 2% shampoo on 04/14/09. I also just started taking Rogaine...

Make sure you aren't applying too much. I am also applying the foam to my hairline and entire top of head to the vertex but I use just enough to cover the scalp in those areas. Your hair shouldn't be wet after your done, it should just be a little moist and dry soon after.

Yeah I put some cold water in the sink and held my hand in it to chill before applying. It seems to work well. The smell isn't bad at all I can barely tell. Some people must be very picky with the smell.

Yeah it sounds like we are both pretty much in the same boat with starting the Rogaine foam..

I just got my 3 month supply of Rogaine foam in the mail today. I'm going to apply it for the first time tonight. Any advise on applying? I'm trying to regrow hair on the top of my head and recover what I can on my receding hairline.

I think I'm going to stick to with 2% for now and see how it works for me. Have any of you guys heard that drinking grapefruit juice helps with the absorption of finasteride? I read that somewhere and wanted to see if there was any truth to it.

Thanks for the help with the Fincar. I just ordered 3 strips of Fincar (30 Tablets). I read some concerning news about Nizoral Shampoo 2% on THIS website under the product reviews. Here is a direct quote: "While it may feed your need to calm your concerns to shoot for the 2% prescription form...

Yeah I guess Fincar would work fine that's a good idea. So I would try and break each pill into 5? To get the 1mg, does a bill cutter do this easily? I'm not sure if that would be the best way or not.

I did have a question regarding Finpecia (Generic Propecia). I currently have a one month prescription to the real Propecia which cost me $81 for a month. I know about proscar diving pills but my doctor isn't into that approach. Would Finpecia be an ok alternative? I'm looking to get it from...

Re: Bjl51 Story - ( 25 / Starting the BIG 3) Thanks I thought I would try and get my story out there and see if there was any more advise people could give me. Does anyone really know the proper amount of times a week to use Nizoral 2% shampoo? I going with a mon, wed, fri 3 times a week but...

I'm 25 and I just began seriously addressing my hair thinning. I probably started with a receding hairline around 21 without any thinning. At 24 is when I first felt the thinning on top of my head a little because I got a sun burn while at the beach with my hair spiked. I even got a comment from...
