Update: finally ordered the products for my regimen: Regrowth agent: Rogaine Foam DHT inhibitor: S5 Cream I debated quite a while and read a lot of conflicting oppinions here about finastride and I'm worried about potential side effects. I figured that my hair loss isn't too severe, so maybe...

While I am appreciating this discussion, I am still trying to decide what to use as a DHT inhibitor. The S5 cream available from this site looks interesting. Any oppinions on that in terms of risks vs effectiveness?

Oh God... Well thats... terrifying... Well what WOULD you suggest, Multispeed27?

See "messing with my hormones" is what I'm reading about here and has got me worried. Isn't Finastride an oral DHT inhibitor?

I would like to avoid getting a prescription if I can avoid the hassle of getting a dermatologist and the related expenses... is there any over-the-counter dht-inhibitor worth trying?

I've been doing a lot of reading and I think I'm going to give Rogaine a try. But now I just need a DHT inhibitor. I found this one product called "maxa-hair" but I found somewhere else on this site that this product is a scam... So I'm looking for a legit DHT inhibitor but preferably one I...

Thanks for the feedback, guys! Sorry about referencing that website, I noticed the pinned thread about how citing online-oppinions is a no-no. But could I get some user oppinions here on how big a hassle it is to use rogaine and whether I should use the foam or the solution? Do you just use...

thanks for the response! Well, I mean I'm considering transplantation. Right now I don't need a huge area restored (as you can see) but I don't know if that would dramatically reduce the cost. Plus! If I did, I'd have to consider how to keep the newly restored hair. What sort of "meds" are you...

So, my first order of business has been to educate myself about Rogaine a little. I've been reading the FAQ on Rogaine's website as well as some consumer reviews. First, allthough I am encouraged by your remark, CaptainCombover, I see almost everywhere that Rogaine does not restore receeding...

Here are some pics... one thing that greatly annoys me is how uneven the thinning is.. its mostly concentrated on the right side of my head as shown below: [attachment=1:3tqydw83]lame.jpg[/attachment:3tqydw83] here is the other side. My hair has receeded up my temples quite a bit but its much...

My thanks to both of you for reading my story, and your response. What I read about rogaine, and other non-surgical treatments, was that they were not shown to be effective in restoring hair receeding around the temples, which is what I have. Is this not correct? Why are you suggesting...

Hello, I'm Mike! Hair loss first began for me when I was 23. It was a warm summer night and I had just gotten back from a jog. I leaned against my dad's car to catch my breath, and saw my reflection in the car window. I was struck by how "big" my forehead looked. There was something distinctly...
