    Dry hair after washing head from minoxidil?

    Use mild shampoos like Dove brand. At least that works for me

    Has munched changed in 4 years? Opinions, please!

    I think you've managed to keep what you have on, which is good considering it's been 4 years. Good for you. Do I think it has improved? I really can't say basing on the pics. Nonetheless keep it up!

    Minoxidil 3 Month Mark! Need Advice

    Volume on top still looks good. Pretty normal look for a 28 year old imo. My advice would be, if you've already started the minoxidil application, continue it for at least a year. I got good results around the 6 month mark based on my experience. If you didn't get results within a year, then...

    Convince me to start taking finasteride. Questions, concerns

    I wouldn't advice you taking it if you have plans on having kids, especially one on the way. And don't wanna come off as a negative person, but I think losing hair is far less of a concern now, if you'll be having kids. They should be your priority now rather than looks if I'm being honest and...

    How long should I wait to workout or shower after applying Minoxidil?

    Yes, once. And more than 1ml is okay. It's like a wound, you don't need to stay on 1ml if it's not covering the parts that you target.

    Dermaroller DNS with 540 needle is really efective?

    Didn't really like microneedling. Just gave me literal headaches and made my hair shed more. People say it's effective on the temples though, but I got a diffuse thinning problem, and if I microneedle my crown, it just gave me hair falls which is more stressing. But I think the needles don't...

    How accurate is Nick Shell's 12 months/1yr old theory?

    Yeah this Nick Shell guy is a con. He's all about making money. He has nothing to do to help with hairloss, but just brainwashing you to accept it if you're balding, which is not a bad advice at all. But we all end up here in this forum to find a solution that will maybe work for us, so it...

    Thin hair on mother's side of the family?

    Yeah this is the case with me. My dad and his dad has superior hair genes. My grandpa (dad's dad) died with a full head of hair. My uncles from father side all had norwood 0, but my relatives from my mother side all have that balding/diffusing genes, and that's what I got. Sucks but it is what...

    Help! Nothing Working, Almost At Rock Bottom

    Well if they don't work then stop using it. I mean what's the point. Overthinking will just kill you. You don't want to spend the rest of your life thinking about just hair man. I know your feelings are valid. Me myself had been battling hair loss for 7 years. But what I've realize is if it's...

    How common is diffuse thinning rather than a receding hairline?

    Hair fibers are the best solutions to this. I mean women put on make up everyday, especially at work. What's the deal with putting hair fibers for just 20 seconds in your day.

    Why are bald people so rude/grumpy/a**h***?

    Well are you balding? So what's your question again? Exactly.

    Nothing seems to work

    I don't mean to be rude, but dude you're 43. If I get to that age I'll just buzz it off. If you reach the age of 35 and you're balding, the consensus won't mind if you're balding. People mature and get old. I think battling hairloss should be on your late teens, 20's, and early-mid 30's. If...

    How long should I wait to workout or shower after applying Minoxidil?

    Best advice is do it at night before going to bed. If you apply it and let it dry, but proceed to do activities that will make you sweat afterwards like working out, I think if won't have the same efficacy. I mean common sense, you'll just sweat it out.

    How effective is taking finasteride 1.25mg 3x/week?

    In my case it's enough. I even took 0.5mg 2x a week for a year. I had same results.
