    Minoxidil

    This is the hardest question I've been trying to figure out. That is, does Minoxidil make you dependent on Minoxidil? I would think from a business standpoint... the makers would want you to keep buying the product, even strive to make it that way....but maybe that is overly pessimistic. Its...

    blotches red patches on forehead with Keto?

    think I was leaving it on too long... problem pretty much went away in about a week.

    Thin hair... miniaturized hairs.......splitting hairs?

    Haven't had to really pay attention to this sort of thing until now, so sorry for my ignorance .... but while most of my shed hairs look normal today I had one that looked very thin, but appeared regular "length".... I assume that is a miniaturized hair? Does this mean that hair folicle is...

    blotches red patches on forehead with Keto?

    Hi All, Been trying Revita and alternating with Purador shampoo past several weeks, I think it has been helping and shedding has been less. I leave it in about 4 min and then leave conditioner on for awhile too, to keep the scalp from getting too dry. However I have noticed I am getting red...

    Women below 30 are shallow, and balding is unattractive. Deal with it.

    Well this thread is not an upper. However the answer here is: hard as it is to follow is whether you consider yourself as attractive or not.... successful or not......happy or not is entirely your own doing, f*ck everyone else. And we're all going to die anyway so a little delusion if you...

    Revita shampoo...........confused about reviews :/

    Some of the 1 stars are creepy as hell. You may as well label them terrorists..... but you seem to find a pack of them at the bottom with every hairloss product I've looked at. I don't have any noticeable shedding right now, and I know what that is like. I don't think I could handle sudden...

    Revita shampoo...........confused about reviews :/

    Hi All, Can anyone help shed light on these confusing Amazon reviews with people using Revita shampoo. I initially set out to try Regenepure DR but that could not be found in a store within 100 miles..... Revita appears essentially the same formula and I have found it here. It seemed one of...

    Mature hairline, or male pattern baldness?

    Okay just an update.... after checking into this all morning I've decided to go with the Regenepure DR first.......it has the same Keto in it but isn't as harsh, and apparently is made especially for hair loss (instead of dandruff). Its only 1% but you can leave it on longer and shouldn't...

    Mature hairline, or male pattern baldness?

    I'm going to try the Nizoral shampoo. I'm kind of loathe to play around with chemicals and possibly make it worse or become dependent, but it seems safe since its a topical and reduces sebum in the hair (which supposedly combines with DHT and causes hair loss). The studies they have done seem...

    Mature hairline, or male pattern baldness?

    Hi All, 42 and I've never had any real problem with hair loss until a few months ago that I've noticed..... I was getting a haircut and the hairdresser combed the hair back and whoa! It appears to be receding quite a bit, but just mostly on one side (?) I haven't noticed my hair getting...

    Hair life cycle?

    Hi all, Just a general question on the hair life cycle. Obviously all people shed some hair all the time and it is replaced, and not every hair that falls out falls out for good. In general, how long does it typically take when a normal hair falls out, for a new one to sprout in its place...

    Acetyl L Cartinine- good or bad for hair loss?

    I looked back but couldn't find the threads I had seen, there were a couple people who claimed they suspected it as causing hair loss but it was all rather vague. I've never had any hairloss problem but recently started experiencing some. But I've been taking a number of supplements, that...

    Acetyl L Cartinine- good or bad for hair loss?

    Acetyl L Carnitine- good or bad for hair loss? Hi All, Can anyone help determine whether Acetyl L Carnitine as a supplement causes hair loss, or helps reduce hair loss? I'm reading both on the web and am somewhat confused. I do take the supplement sometimes (not specifically for that reason)...
