Hello, I cidn't want to jinx it but I'm really starting to see some progress. The first photo was taken a month ago on Feb 19 and the second one is from today. Other factors are comparable. What do you guys think? Edit: My scalp is shinier in the second photo because I used minoxidil right...

Your hair doesn't look bad (except for the terrible haircut. Sorry, somebody had to say it). If you're looking for something to help you with your hair, try biotin (vitamin B7) in high doses, preferably 300 micrograms daily or more. It will also help you with your skin condition. If you're into...

Hello, I started with finasteride/minoxidil/ketoconazole on Feb 6, 2018 and with dutasteride/RU-58841 on Feb 12, 2018 so this is my one month update. I experienced no sides except for a bit watery semen in the second week but it's gone now. I guess I'm experiencing some minor progress, my head...

I don't know about the other supplements but I would swear by biotin any time. It visibly helps my nails and since they are keratin based I really think it helps my hair too. The supposed sides of finasteride really are mostly in people's heads IMO. There's a lot stories from people taking just...

Thank you. It can't get much worse so I hope it just gets better. :) Not expecting miracles though, it would be a success for me if my head just looked a bit better shaved/buzzed. Thanks. This forum has been a huge help and inspiration.

Thanks. It really did. I found a (bad) photo of me from that time. The real horror started when I stopped using minoxidil, this photo was taken only ~4 months before the third photo in the series so you can compare. I didn't expect it at all and decided just shaving it off is the best solution.

Hello, I am 26, soon to be 27 years old and I have male pattern baldness. It started when I was 18 or 19 years old, at first as thinning on the crown and temples, then (when I was 23) all the hair on the top of my head started thinning and falling out. I visited a trichologist soon after and...

Hello, I'm mixing the powder into my Pg/ethonol minoxidil solution and it seems to work just fine. Nizoral (ketoconazole) works wonders for the dry flaky scalp, at least in my case.
