Hairloss may sometimes be due to environmental factors, not strictly genes and hormones, possibly triggered by stress, poor diet, iodine deficiency, or prescription drugs. You may waqnt to try some therapeutic measures, like a pyrithione zinc shampoo, emu oil, essential oils, flax lignans, fish...

Razorwest7: hairloss is sometimes caused to environmental factors (rather than strictly genes and hormones), possibly triggered by stress, poor diet, or prescription drugs. You may want to try some therapeutic measures, like a zinc pyrithione shampoo, emu oil, essential oils, even an apple cider...

A white bulb on shed hairs may be a sign of scalp inflammation. Try an emu oil lotion (a mixture of aloe, jojoba oil, and emu oil) on the scalp to help control inflammation. A pyrithione zinc shampoo, like Head and Shoulders with aloe for sensitive skin, may also be helpful. Some people use an...

Excessive shedding of hair, especially when on hairloss treatments/medications, is not normal or necessary. I shed only a few visible hairs a day, not a hundred or more, because I use "natural" treatments that help me to retain my hair. Knock on wood! In particular I use topical B6, zinc oxide...

I am presently trying the ApplePoly procyanidin 500 mg booster capsules. These are now improved to 18x the strength of vitamin C in anti-oxidant power, it is claimed, and contain procyanidin B3 and C1, as well as procyanidin B2. It is too early to say if they will significantly help my hair...

You may want to look at improving scalp health to help reduce hair loss. Scalp DHT is probably not the only concern. I have had success with a topical mixture of a weak acid, like apple cider vinegar, followed by zinc oxide powder. My hair now looks and feels better, stronger, even though I...

There are some new mostly-all-natural hair loss treatments, namely procede, restorationhair, and hairmagic. Has anyone else tried any of these?

What seems to be missing from this discussion is an antagonist or irritant that promote"plaque" formation. Tooth tartar/plaque requires bacteria, sugar (nourishment), changed saliva composition, and possibly an "F factor". In the scalp the "imbalance" may energize an immune response causing the...

If you use the finely powdered lignisul MSM, one level teaspoon is about 4 grams, I understand. This will dissolve in distilled water. The "liquid MSM" mentioned above may be diluted with something else.

The going, affordable rate for all-in-one hair topicals is in the range of USD $100 to $150 for a three month supply.

You may want to try the Revivogen topical serum, a DHT blocker. But the scalp should first be as antiseptic and clean as possible. I use tea tree oil and other things (peppermint oil, etc.) for this. Revivogen has a shampoo that may help in this regard. It is usually supplied free with the three...

I would suspect a yeast (fungus) infection. Try zinc oxide ointment/powder or other remedies. This might be linked to changes in hormone levels while on propecia.

Neutrogena T-Gel has solubilized coal tar extract as the active ingredient, whereas T-Sal has salicylic acid as the active ingredient. At least that was the original concept.

Maybe some people need the "man-bra" -- from a Seinfeld episode. :lol: **** Seriously, common hairloss may be partly genetic and partly environmental. One may need a "scalp detox" first, so one is then better able to tolerate topical treatments. It helped me. See my other posts on this website...

I think that what confuses the issue about saw palmetto for hairloss is that the term "saw palmetto" can mean many things. Are we talking about unadulterated saw palmetto berry powder, standardized saw palmetto extract (SPE), saw palmetto formula (SPE with additives like pygeum, pumpkin seed...
