    A minoxidil warning - Evidence minoxidil causes eye circles, wrinkles and bad skin

    I used liquid 5% minoxidil twice a day starting in 2003 and I can say 100% experienced aging to the skin mostly on the forehead and wrinkles etc. etc.... I switched to the foam when it came out and only use it once a day several years ago. When I stopped using so much and then cut back greatly the...

    Does Conditioner Really Thicken Hair?

    I have NEVER had any luck with conditioner increasing volume and I've tried a lot. In fact, its usually counter productive. Try GOT 2b Powder Volumizing Powder. I made a new post about this stuff and if you are looking for volume, this is what you need. Cheap too.

    Dry Scalp

    I would use a moisturizer on your scalp once a day then a good moisturizing shampoo in between the nizoral. The nizoral is good but make sure you leave it on your scalp for a few minutes before washing off.

    Dr. Bernstein before and after photos

    He is emotionally torn to seek the negative confirmation he so desperately needs to comfort himself and his fragile psyche as a result of his hair loss. It doesn't matter how much proof you show, if he has bad results or don't believe the results then its worthless to him and this is the only...

    full head again - is it possible?

    It's not in a high percentage to get back to a full head of hair, but it depends on the fundamental questions as it's not a one size fits all answer that you are seeking: How aggressive is your condition? How long you have been balding? How much you have already lost? Are you trying to regrow...

    Dr. Bernstein before and after photos

    I'm not sure why the skepticism on the pictures. Obviously they are going to post the best responses to medication but I have seen some amazing results from the big 3 combination. It all depends how aggressive your condition is, how long you have been balding, how much you have already lost...

    Been on the Big Three for 10+ years

    I do not have any specific pics that show the hairloss at the time but I can say I would be very bald today had I not taken action. I am very grateful that I did and I can say that my male pattern baldness was very aggressive. The frontal area receded followed by the crown area strongly shedding until it was...

    Been on the Big Three for 10+ years

    When I started, the frontal had already started to go, it was receding, but fortunately there was still enough coverage there so I would grow it out as much as possible and use concealers if needed. Right now I am about where I was after a year of using the big three. I think it has completely...

    Switching from Minoxidil to Finasteride

    I would add finasteride to your arsenal and keep the minoxidil. Not sure if you use foam but you should start if you don't.

    considering hair transplant with current picture

    I don't think you should stress over surgical fixes or anything other then finasteride. You have great hair my friend and you can use basic concealers to completely hide any sign of thinning on your crown.

    How bad is it? Currently on Big Three with Avodart 1mg

    Wow you are taking a complete arsenal for what seems to be minor thinning.. in fact, you may be contributing to the thinning as you almost always see an excessive thinning period when you begin treatment, especially minoxidil! I don't know your dates and how long you have been on it all but I would...
