    Buying v**** online in US

    Does anyone know a good place to buy v**** from? I was using http://www.generics-online-pharmacy.com, but they've stopped shipping to the US.

    Neutrogena T-Gel Overnight Dandruff Treatment

    I just started using Neutrogena T-Gel Overnight Dandruff Treatment. It's 2% Salicylic Acid. I apply it about 5 minutes before my nightly minoxidil application, and it has almost eliminated all the flaking. Without this stuff, I have terrible flaking from my Member's Mark minoxidil (Sam's Club generic...

    Dealing with minoxidil flaking/scalp buildup

    Hello, I use a rather large quantity (2.5ml per application) of minoxidil twice daily, because I have thinning all over the top of my head. 1ml just doesn't cover enough of an area. I tend to get a lot of buildup. I use Nizoral 1% and keep my scalp in good condition, but when the minoxidil dries it...

    How long to sheds tend to last?

    I had massive shedding for about 4 months after beginning Propecia. Don't fret. After a year now, my hair is starting to get thicker than when I started. (I'm using minoxidil too). The best thing you can do is just try to ignore it for now. I know it sucks.

    Blending Couvre colors

    I recently purchased a tube of Medium Brown Couvre, and it ended up being a few shades too light for my hair. Is it possible to blend Medium Brown with Dark Brown Couvre effectively? That's what I do with DermMatch, but I wanted to try Couvre and compare the two.

    Rage's Story (monthly pics included)

    While I'm sure most of us would love to trade our own hair for yours, I think you're probably right about the thinning. I used to have a very thick head of hair, and I remember starting to see more of those "baby hairs" along the front hairline and the temple areas. I was growing my hair out...

    Spacing out Minoxidil applications

    I've been using minoxidil at about 12am before I go to bed, and I wake up at 6am for a second application before going back to sleep for a couple more hours (I just give it a little time to dry). Then I wash it out around 10am or so. Is it effective to have only 6 hours between the two daily...

    At what age to start "The Big 3"?

    Hi, I am 25 years old, and I started using Propecia 1mg/day, Minoxidil 2x/day, and Nizoral one year ago. My hairline has receeded about two inches at the temples (from ages 20-24), and I have some diffuse thinning on top and some thinning at the vertex. I would probably be a lot better off...

    QUESTION - APPLY ROGAINE ONCE OR TWICE A DAY?

    Propecia

    lots of shedding I started taking Propecia (.83mg/day - 5mg split into 6 parts) about four months ago. Like someone that posted above, I started to notice a very large increase in shedding after about a week of starting it. My hairline has been gradually receding since I was about 18 or so (I'm...
