Has anybody had any success finding minoxidil that doesn't take hours to dry and leave your scalp flaky? I've been using the generic Kirkland brand for years and it works but I'm sick of these side effects. I would happily pay a little more for a product that doesn't have these effects. I also...

Why do you think that Minoxidil makes everything worse? This goes against everything I have heard.

Yes! My hairline has thickened up quite a bit and moved down a bit. It now looks more like a normal "mature" hairline rather than a thin receding hairline. I am very happy with the results thus far!

A year has past since I started my journey, I feel blessed that my hair has responded favorable to my treatment. I keep my hair short (#5 on top blended to a #2 on the sides) and I don't think it looks like I am noticeably balding anymore. Although the hair on the top of my head is not nearly...

Re: Da Bears's Story - 1 Year Update One year update...details to follow :)

Re: Da Bears's Story - 6 Month Update My hair is the same in both pics. Both are dry hair with a little gel in the front to spike it up, and I think the length is about the same as well.

Why don't you just get a prescription to get genuine Proscar from a pharmacist? It is the same thing as Propecia, just in a 5 mg form. You can then cut the pills and know you have the real stuff and save a TON of money. Merck Propecia is a Rip Off! Just a greedy pharm company capitalizing...

Re: Thanks HairLossTalk.com! My Results after Three Months! Nice results! I can definitely see improvement! You are a diffuse thinner like me so you should continue to thicken up nicely over then next few months. Remember to stay consistent. :bravo:

Re: Da Bears's Story - 6 Month Update Some of the hair that I am shedding appears to be very thin on the end (almost invisible) and some appear to be equal thickness. All of it is coming from the top of my head which I can tell because I style my hair longer on top. Hope that answers your...

Re: Da Bears's Story - 6 Month Update SHEDDING!!! Hair looks like poop, especially the crown!!! :puke:

Re: Da Bears's Story - 6 Month Update I feel like I lost some ground this month in my crown :( However, looking at the big picture, I have made some decent gains over the past 6 months. I snapped a picture before I got my hair cut so it would be similar length to my baseline to make my self...

I had started using it about a year before I started my treatment and I still use it on my off days from Nizoral. While I don't think it did anything to improve or slow down my condition, I still think it is a decent shampoo and it leaves my hair feeling clean. I will be switching to Aveda...

Re: Lion Reborn's Story - (22) Damn, you have almost the identical hair situation as I have. We have similar hair type and loss. I think that you will be fine as long as you have patience to religiously apply the big 3. I actually enjoy the feeling of minoxidil, like my scalp thirsts for it...

Re: Da Bears's Story - Month 4 Update (New Pic Included) Here is what I do: -I use Kirkland 5% minoxidil liquid. -I then take .5 ml and put it at my crown in about 4-5 different spots, as far back as possible. -I tilt my head down and let gravity pull down the liquid towards my forehead. -I rub...
