Let me add my two cents here. If it's true that "some" people are too quick to recommend "the big 3" or just Propecia, isn't it true that some people are also too quick to recommend Rogaine just because it's FDA approved? It DOES work, no doubt about it--for some people. Others aren't so...

...Did any of you ladies notice an increase in shedding starting in September or October? I did--a slight increase--and wanted to see if anyone else has. (I knew about the seasonal thing, but thought it was all in my head, so to speak).

Maxine, Looks good--I definitely see improvement!

Thanks for your answer, Maxine! I'm really eager to see your pictures. When will they be online? When they're up, please do post a link! One more question: When you started the Rogaine, how "thin" was thin for you? Like, how much scalp could you see on just-washed, still-wet hair? Also, did...

That's GREAT news! If you look back at my earlier posts, you can see how ambivalent I am about Rogaine and other topicals--I bought 'em all, but I can't bring myself to gamble on the hair that I have left. As I've said before, I've read a lot of posts from women about how they used Rogaine, did...

HairLossTalk.com Administrator: Can you help? Hi HairLossTalk.com Administrator, I could really use your help here, if you can provide it. Is it possible for you--or anyone on this board--to connect me to someone on the Wig Support board? I'd be happy to provide my email address to you, so that she can email me...

Thanks, but I've tried that site. What I really need is to have someone who's a member of the group alert whoever runs it that I need help. I think I'll need to correspond with them through my home email address at first. If you're now a member of the group, please help me...I'd really...

Hi ladies, I've been trying to join the wig support group on msn for weeks now, and there must be something wrong--or I am doing something wrong. I do have a net passport, because it signs me in. I was also a member of the group months ago, but forgot my password. Now, no amount of...

...a hair integration, that is. It's a mesh top with 1-inch mesh openings that I can pull my own hair through. It also has clips--placed fairly low on my head, where the hair isn't so delicate. It's made of human hair, costs $800, and it will last for a year. (I'm doing a bartering deal, so...

Rozzy, For men and women with thinning hair, Toppik is the best thing since sliced bread. For more info on this stuff (I use it and think it's amazing), go to http://www.toppik.com.

WAIT. Get some Toppik--now--so you can get used to it before your wedding.

Hi, When I read your email, I was sad for you, but also angry that not enough people pay credence to the fact--and it is a fact--that Rogaine can cause devastating shedding for which there is no explanation--and no treatment. I've said as much on this board and others, but people continue to...

I think it really, really important to add that minoxidil is not the answer for everyone--that it can cause EXTREME shedding that sometimes does not grow back. I must point out that this has not happened to me personally, because I heeded the anguished warnings of dozens of women who've...

Hey CC, I've been taking oral spironolactone for about a year and it's definitely helped keep the shedding down, although I wouldn't say I've regrown hair on it. However, you should know that a fair amount of women who take it say that it becomes less effective over time. I'm taking the max dose--200...

Try Toppik Maxine, I'm serious. This stuff is amazing.
