i gotta say to anyone that wants to shave..do not do it!!! it's been nearly 4 months and my hair is not the same as it was. it has not grown back in my thinning areas nearly as thick as before.

hello everyone, i posted back in may about how i shaved my head with a #1 guard and my hairloss looked worse. with hair i am a nw3, and with the headshave i looked like a nw5. well, my hair has grown back except for in my balding crown. i used to have enough hair there prior to the headshave...

does anyone think I would encounter problems ordering finpecia to my po box address? also, whenever i've ordered it and had it delivered to my house i've had to sign for it. how would this process work if it was delivered to my po box? i no longer want to have this sent to my home for privacy...

how long does hair have to be for volumizing shampoo to be effective? mine's probably at or slightly longer than #2 guard length.

yes i believe it does. i'm getting worried it won't grow back how it looked pre-buzzcut.

I buzzed my head with a #1 guard early last week. I was surprised to see a horseshoe pattern because with my hair grown out I only have noticeable temple recession and a thinning crown. Now a week and a half later, the back of my head where the hair is thick is growing fast along with the...

Is it better to go to an internist or derm for getting a finasteride prescription? I plan on making an appt this week so I want to get the best information from whichever Doctor I see. Thanks in advance!

make a long story short, i buzzed my head with a #1 early last week and much to my surpise I had a horseshoe pattern. With my hair grown out, I had a receding hairline and a little thinning at the crown. My hair has grown out to be around a #2 guard length. What can be done to disguise the...

i'm about 6 and a half months into my treatment and have a question. just a little background i'm a nw3 (fairly deep recession and moderate vertex loss but enough to cover for the most part) and i'm 22. i started receding at 17 and first started noticing the crown thinning around october of...

i started using minoxidil 2 months ago. about 3 or 4 weeks ago i noticed a sharp, pinching pain in my abdomen. some days i'll only feel it once or twice, others it's throughout the day. i looked this up and one of the sides had something to do with the stomach so i'm curious if this has happened...

for the people who experience regrowth in both the temple and crown areas, do they usually start filling in at the same time or does one area have regrowth first? thanks in advance for any input.

i'm a nw3 and i just switched to the foam after using the liquid for past month and a half. what should i expected different with the foam compared to the liquid? i've heard of people shedding worse from the foam and that kinda scares me. is there really a difference between the two? thanks...

hi i've been using the minoxidil 5% topical for the last month and a half or so and recently in the last week or two been noticing flaking in the crown area. is this a common side? if so, is it a temporary or permanent side? thanks in advance!

for every hair that sheds is a terminal being being formed in its place?
