    Year And A Half Success Using The Big Three

    So, I its been a very long time since I posted in this forum. Long story short, I come from a family where my dad and 2 brothers lost all their hair in their early 20's. I started seeing some receding in my hairline by the time I was 18 but decided to play the denial card for many years. I was...

    Anyone have success with just minoxidil?

    I've been using it for about three years now. Twice a day religiously. I originally had some minor crown and temple loss. After the first six months I recovered quite a bit of density and coverage with only just minoxidil (5% generic). I also used nizoral 1% (over the counter) every other day. About...

    Who here has experienced regrowth or retainment of hair on JUST Minoxidil?

    Well the longest ive been was probably 4 days without applying it simply because I ran out. But other than that Ive been very consistent with my regimen. Another thing i noticed is hat he quality and texture of the hair was very coarse. I used to have very thick slightly wavy hair but lately ive...

Im a diffuse thinner but I caught it very early, no visible thinning but a definite loss in density and a little bit of scalp. I definitely saw some great results within the first 8 months. My temples and crown regained their...

    Quick Question

    Ok so after carefully examining my hair for the past 3 months Ive come to the crushing conclusion that Im thinning in the NW4-5 area. Its diffuse and in relatively early stages. I can still wear my hair in many ways without it being that noticeable. Still its leaning more to the noticeable side...

    Will this do any good?

    No Im not actually taking this but since it has some of the most talked about so called natural treatments I was wondering if anyone think it would work. I have seen people talk about saw palmetto, nettle and pygeum so seeing them all in one formulation made think it could help in some way.

    cayenne pepper ?

    Ok just to give an update on my situation. Its been around 2 1/2 weeks since I started topically applying cayenne pepper mixed with apple cider vinegar. My results so far: nothing in terms of regrowth although I think its way too fast to see any effects. I do consider that my hair is growing at...

    Genetics question

    Well I have to agree it is a lottery. From my mothers side none of the males have gone bald. My maternal grandfather and all of his brothers have insanely thick straight Elvis hair and they are all above 75 yrs old. My dad has 7 brothers and only 2 of them have the horseshoe patter (my dad...

    so i think i have inflamation in my scalp

    Well for me what keeps the dandruff and itching at bay is a wash with apple cider vinegar twice a week. Just leave it overnight and wash it the next morning. It works for me so it might work for you so its worth a shot.
