    Topical spironolactone In Ethanol/pg/distilled Water. Weird Reaction!

    Hi guys, I'm a gal but there is practically no activity on the women's board and you all seem to know more about self mixed products. I was using my own crushed spironolactone in a scalp serum (1%) for a few months and while my hair seemed to be growing back, it's still very thin. I decided to change the...

    Topical Finasteride - What Can I Use As A Solvent Instead Of Minoxidil?

    "Store finasteride at room temperature between 59°F and 86°F (15°C and 30°C) in a tight, light resistant container." You might have to keep refrigerated if your room temperatures exceed 30°C otherwise the finasteride may degrade and lose effectiveness. HTH

    Topical Finasteride - What Can I Use As A Solvent Instead Of Minoxidil?

    Do you have pure finasteride? Use 100mg of finasteride first dissolved in 50ml ethanol (200 proof), then add 30ml propylene glycol, and top off with about 20ml distilled water to make 100ml of a 1% solution. Put in a cobalt or amber glass bottle with dropper to protect from light.

    Trying Emu Oil, Monoxidil, Dmso Estriol Blend

    So yesterday I mixed some spironolactone powder with DMSO and added some distilled water. OMG this stuff smells like rotton eggs! I got my nuhair serum in the mail today and warmed it up a little, mixed in the rest of the spironolactone powder (about 1.5 grams) to 90ml of the nuhair serum, and voila, it...

    Trying Emu Oil, Monoxidil, Dmso Estriol Blend

    Wow this is interesting! 10 years ago, about a year after my oophorectomy, I was thrown into early menopause at age 29. As you can imagine, I was devastated when I started losing hair. I had breast cancer ERPR+ so I couldn't take hormonal replacement. After some research I found spironolactone...

    Cassin--Hair Signals

    Hi Cassin, do you know the difference between Hair Signals and Folligen? I read that Hair Signals is the newer and better formula but when comparing ingredients, I don't see a difference. Also Hair Signals is 4 oz/$36.95 vs Folligen 8z/$38.95. I ended up buying Hair Signals on a whim but the...

    My success story from an Androgenetic Alopecia sufferer. Male pattern balding.

    My review of Millefolium Magic Hair fibers.

    I decided to write a review because this seems to be an obscure brand. I've never used hair fibers until now but I was very interested. Unfortunately I couldn't find any brands that had a hair color that would suit mine. My color is a brownish black. So anyway, I found this brand and decided to...
