Why do people use 2% in the first place? Isn't 1% sufficient for most guys? Except those with extreme scalp issues? Or is it all just part of the OCD mentality most of us on this site have, to go for the big guns right away no matter what? -G-

What are you riding out? Shedding? Side effects? Lack of results? Important to know. If shedding, then do not drop the treatment, and definitely ride it out. If lack of results, it takes up to a year to see noticeable results, so definitely ride it out. If side effects, they do tend to...

On the contrary, the information she gave you questions her level of education on the topic. To establish or refute that, you were asked to get the data source from her. Instead of doing this, you've replied with vulgarity and name calling. On a larger scale, you will learn more from someone on...

If you go back on Propecia, yes it will come back again after several months. Rogaine is associated with initial shedding yes. You should not have stopped the most effective treatment for hair loss cold turkey without some sort of topical antiandrogen regimen like Topical spironolactone + Revivogen to...

I love when people pull things out of their :moon: Did you bother to ask her for the data she is using to back up this logic? I think people (including yourself, possibly) just have a need to change things up. Not happy with the tried and true method. Gotta be different. If you're going...

What is this incessant need for people here to change the dosing regimen? Understand the logic: They have motivation to lie about the percent of side effects. Exactly what motivation would they have to tell people to use 1mg daily? They could sell 0.5mg daily and make just as much money...

Nioxin is a mediocre product when it comes to hair loss. They spent literally tens of millions per year on indoctrinating hair stylists to believe that its the holy grail in hair loss treatment, even downplaying Propecia and Rogaine. Despite well over 10 years and tens of millions per year...

Pointless, unless you're planning to treat a prostate problem. -G-

Well, I would tend to assume a kitchen sink approach has more potential to work than not work. You really need to look at the specific ingredients. I can't think of any examples where things would cancel eachother out in a typical kitchen sink regimen. It is funny when people complain they...

Yes. Very little. Zero. -G-

Then why did you just do it again immediately above?

My tone is a reflection of frustration at the lack of extremely basic information some people maintain, despite all the information on this site. I know exactly what he was saying. You don't need to re-explain it for me. I responded directly to what he wrote already. You can't see results...

"works" to do what? Are they making hair growth claims or are they simply saying they've made a better nizoral? If the latter, then as long as it genuinely contains Ketoconazole, it will "work". Although I am not too sure I understand the point of reducing inflammation and then putting...

That is totally, absolutely, unequivocally not recommended. Who is doing this? That will destroy your scalp skin. Terrible practice, very bad advice. :thumbdown2: Nizoral 1% is sufficient for hair loss sufferers, and it only needs to be left on the skin for the duration of the shower. No...
