    Thickening Shampoo (very good)

    Hmmm, this shampoo looks like it might be good. I don't like that it contains Sodium Laureth Sulfate, but I might try it anyways. Thanks for the tip. Toppik Shampoo also got some very good reviews. I might try that one as well. See this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBEBUpMfm7s

    male pattern baldness itch

    I've read online that Nizoral contains "sodium lauryl sulfate" (i.e "sodium laureth" sulfate), which can dry out your scalp. I found this to be true, for myself, but others might get different results. I've found better results for myself by leaving Regenepure DR on my scalp for at least 10...

    Is Big 3 shampoo watered down?

    I've been using Regenepure DR shampoo for the last 4 to 5 five months, but I have just now switched back to Lipogaine's Big 3 shampoo. I received a new bottle in the mail today. Does anyone know if Lipogaine made any modifications to their Big 3 shampoo? It seems much more "watery" now. Or...

    Minoxidil - difference between Lipogaine and Kirkland?

    The difference are the ingredients. Lipogaine seems to contain much more ingredients. For example, in addition to minoxidil, it contains biotin, niacin, vitamin B6 and B12, DHT blocker proprietary blend with azetinol, etc. etc... View customer comments of Lipogaine on Amazon.com. Many...

    A few questions on Nizoral

    I don't use Nizoral because it contains "sodium laureth sulfate", which is pretty much equal to "sodium lauryl sulfate". These chemicals dry out the scalp and are potentially not good for hair growth. See this video for more discussion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQBk3_73Ubk My shampoo...

    Should I drop minoxidil?

    Personally, I didn't like Nizoral because it left my hair feeling dry. Check out this video for a comparison of Regenepure DR and Nizoral: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYq0TmM7V0U Also, have you considered using Biotin? A middle aged guy named Michael Peak was able to improve his crown...

    Should I drop minoxidil?

    I honestly don't think your crown is thinning. It appears to be a hair "part". How does it look when it's dry? Also, what shampoos are you using? And BTW, you have way more hair than other people, including myself, so don't feel too bad. The good news for you is that you have a chance to...

    Should I drop minoxidil?

    I wasn't willing to experiment with the prostate drug, Finasteride, even though many people here claim it also works to treat hair loss. My main regimen consists of minoxidil and shampoos with ketoconazole (Regenepure DR or Big 3 shampoo). At my age, I'd love to "keep what I have" or get any...

    Should I drop minoxidil?

    I've heard that using minoxidil once a day is good. Maybe apply it once every night before bed?

    What the hell are these crusts on my scalp??

    I don't use Nizoral because it contains "sodium laureth sulfate", which is pretty much equal to "sodium lauryl sulfate", which dries out the scalp and potentially is not good for hair growth. See this video for details: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQBk3_73Ubk I use Regenepure DR or Big 3...

    Starting Rogaine and Nizoral next week, what should I expect?

    I stopped using Nizoral after I found out it contained "sodium laureth sulfate", which appears to be similar to "sodium lauryl sulfate". It really did leave my scalp feeling dry. Watch the following video on YouTube. He talks about the potentially bad effects of this chemical. Towards the...

    Starting Rogaine and Nizoral next week, what should I expect?

    Minoxidil and ketoconazole shampoo will help you keep what you have. I didn't start using those products until I was 39 years old or so. I wish I would have started at age 25 or so. It really is an effective combination. It sounds like you already have lots of hair for a 16 year old, so it...

    Should I drop minoxidil?

    I'm not willing to experiment with Finasteride or Propercia or other variants at this moment. From my experience, the combination of minoxidil and ketoconazole shampoo are helping me keep what I have left. I don't notice significant "regrowth" - maybe that comes with more time. Don't we all...

    Should I drop minoxidil?

    I wish I knew about the effectiveness of ketoconazole shampoo and minoxidil 12 years ago. They have definitely reduced the piles of hairs that I was finding in my shower drain. Heck, I'm even growing hairs on my ear lobes and inner wrists. My advice? If you want to keep what you currently...
