I know what you mean. The sheds and the oiliness are the pits, ladies. My hair looked like H--L for the better part of the first 3 months of therapy but I didn't care. I wanted to regrow my hair so badly I could taste it...(well that would be nasty). I listened to my doctor's orders and was...

Hi Anna. I find that the Xandrox solution I ordered from Minoxidil.com does not make my hair feel greasy. I did however go through a shed for a couple of months while waiting for it to work. I now have a full head of hair at the crown and am just waiting for the sides to fill in. I wish you...

Hang in there, Kate! Lots of women shed hair after having a baby. Most women grow it back but some don't. It can also be an expression of latent andgrogenic alopecia. If your hair loss doesn't start reversing in 3 months, check with your doctor and have some tests run...especially iron...

Thanks for the encouragement! Well, my hair still looks pretty darn thick now on the top so that's a good thing. I am feeling so much better about myself lately. People are starting to notice and comment. They say things like, your hair looks so good lately! So bouncy and full! Are you...

Oh no! What does this mean? I am 5 months into my Rogaine/xandrox treatment and all of a sudden, the past few days I have been seeing little tiny thin hairs anywhere from 1/8th to 1/2" on my collar or brushed into the bathroom sink. There aren't many of them but this disturbs me since my...

Hi Marjorie. Everything I've read about Propecia says it will not grow hair for women. It is specifically for men who have Androgenetic Alopecia. Have you thought about Spironolactone? It works better for women and is pretty safe. Maxine

RE: Laser Comb Hi Lg. I would LOVE a lazer comb but can't afford the cost right now. I need to save my money and buy one. They cost around $600-$900 right? Yikes...... M

Hi! Havent' posted here in a while. Just wanted to give an update. I've been using Rogaine 2% daily, and 5% with azaelic acid (called Xandrox solution) nightly plus Nizoral for over 4 months now and guess what? It has been worth the initial shedding they said I'd go through, the itchy...

That's Great News!!!!! YAYYYYYY!!!!! :) Congratulations!!!! Just out of curiousity. Are you having any trouble with facial hair? I too am on 5% minoxidil and growing pixie-like black fuzz on both my ear lobes. I'm like you, Lentara. The most dense, noticable hair growth for me has been on...

Hey Lentara! We may not completely beat this thing but we won't take it lying down!!!! :-x M

Well, I've been on the Xandrox nite soln. for 3 months now and I am beginning to see slow progress in the areas that are usually resistant to regular OTC rogaine. The thin, almost bald spots on the sides of my head are now growing in soft, fine, short hairs...nothing thick and luxurious but...

Now on the subject of facial hair again ladies. Sorry to be repetitious but it IS an issue in treament when using 5% Rogaine or stronger. I dressed up as a wolfgirl for Halloween...l.HOWWWWWLLL! But seriously, I picked up my script for Vaniqua and .....GASP!!! It was $47 clams for a teeny...

Solace Serve Here Hi RP. Well, you may not read any blooming success stories here but you will find a virtual pat on the back and a nod of understanding. I'm 43, RP, and have been dealing with Androgenetic Alopecia since my 20's also. Most of the time, I view it as a cruel curse from God. I'm thin, and have...

Waiting and shedding is the hardest I agree with you. Waiting is the hardest part. I have no patience either but I decided this time, I would continue the treatments like I am supposed to and not "quit". I quit using Rogaine and another treatment with copper in it which i had been using for...
