    Is this new platelet rich plasma therapy legit or still sort of up in the air?

    I recently switched dermatologists and she introduced me to this and said it’s the hot new thing. 3 $500 payments and very non invasive and easy. Like any hairloss treatment I was skeptical of course, so I figured I’d see if anyone had tried it. I have probably a NW2, been on propecia for 16...

    Has your hairloss given you serious anxiety/stress?

    I'm not sure if it's exclusively my hair loss or a combination of things in addition to my pre-existing tendencies toward anxiety/OCD but I find anymore I am extremely stressed out and anxious on a regular basis, to the point that it interferes with my everyday life. I wonder if getting therapy...

    How can people say long dark hairs have nothing to do with male pattern baldness?

    I'm not ignoring your advice I just don't understand - - - Updated - - - Why am I shedding so many more hairs than I was before I had male pattern baldness? It's not just that I've noticed it more, it's definitely more frequent.

    How can people say long dark hairs have nothing to do with male pattern baldness?

    I'm not losing hair in "patches", I have male pattern baldness. Why are you still trying to play mass shedding off as normal? The amount of hair I am shedding is most certainly not "normal".

    How can people say long dark hairs have nothing to do with male pattern baldness?

    I'm confused. Everyone says male pattern baldness hairs are thin and light colored. Almost every hair I've lost has been long full and dark. I have noticed significantly more shedding of these long dark hairs since I got male pattern baldness. I just don't understand how this could be completely unrelated. male pattern baldness must be pushing...

    Is it normal for non-male pattern baldness sufferers to shed 5-10 hairs after showering?

    Why don't I remember this before I had male pattern baldness?

    Is it normal for non-male pattern baldness sufferers to shed 5-10 hairs after showering?

    I lose at least 3 or 4 in the shower shampooing, and then around 5-10 after I get out. I gently pat my hair dry with a towel and then blow dry on cold. This happens regardless of how I dry my hair, if I air dry I can still run my hands through my hair and pull out at least 5 hairs. However...

    Does the quality of shampoo you use influence hairloss one way or another?

    Ok thanks. Should I steer clear of "thickening" shampoos "for fine/thinning hair"? Somehow that doesn't sound good for your hair.

    Does the quality of shampoo you use influence hairloss one way or another?

    In other words, is there any advantage to buying salon-exclusive higher end shampoo over drug store brands? Does organic shampoo make any difference? Thanks!

    Question about my crown - pics

    Hi, I am about a Norwood 2-3 I would say at my estimation. I will post another thread with hairline shots to confirm. I feel like I've held steady there for the most part since I started Propecia 8.5-9 years ago. However, over the last 6 years the spot on my crown has very slowly become...
