    thank you

    almost 10 years later, since my registration on this forum, i must say i found a cure for my baldness and it's called self-esteem. after 2 alcoholic rehabs and an embracing to a more spiritual life, i realized that there are more important things in life. i stopped taking propecia and rogaine...

    HairLossTalk.com- I got a question for ya! Please answer

    yeh, though minoxidil can work on the front (some claim it doesn't but it just wasn't tested there, on the trials) i think it works better on the crown and top.

    NEWBIE QUESTIONS

    i'm pretty much like yourself,,, intact hairline but diffuse all over the top and crown. i started to notice hairloss when i was 24, only two years after i started to take measures. i lost a lot of hair on the top (despite it's genetic, some serious depressions caused it to shed at a high rate...

    HairLossTalk.com- I got a question for ya! Please answer

    1. yes. 2. sheds are common with minoxidil so be prepared. it can work, or not. it depends on the person. hairloss is an odds battle. if you stop taking it, the diffuse thinning may turn into plain baldness. 3. he had bad side effects and dropped out. 4. i don't think he'll reply. he's a...

    Question about propecia...

    for me, after the 2 to 4 weeks of taking propecia, my hairloss stoped. my scalp continued oily and unhealthy for 3 or 4 months but nizoral did its job. only on the 9th month i noticed new hairs poppin out. the results may differ so there's no straight answer really, like they say.

    NEWBIE QUESTIONS

    first off how bad is your hairloss? minoxidil only if you're bald or getting there fast. if you're only diffuse thinner, go for finast and nizoral. 1. minoxidil 2% if you ain't that desperate, twice a day, read the panflet for instructions. apply only on the bald, thinning spots, not on healthy hair. use...

    Propecia

    by the way, to all the diffuse thiners, i've been on Propecia and nizoral for 1 year and 4 months now, and my advice is keep it steady,,, don't quit after a while and then come back and then switch to other stuff. i regrown (still light colored and thin) new hair but it's there and my hair in general is...

    Propecia

    hey licht. i've been away from these boards for quiet a while now. but regarding your story, i think the "if it's not broken, don't fix it" rule applies a bit here. and i'm talking about minoxidil. as you said, you are losing hair relatively slowly for about seven years and it still isn't...

    Propecia

    yeh i know you're right. there's just 2 things holding me, no money and being life dependent on another product. i was just hoping for that fourty or fifty something percent of propecia regrowth chances. thanks, holding on...

    Propecia

    scalp mariani, if you have itchy and oily scalp, the good thing to keep it healthy is nizoral 3 times a week along with t-gel the other days or a soft shampo like j&j. washing your hair everyday will only do you good. only a reminder just in case: June marks 1 year on propecia for me...

    Propecia

    rogaine na boa, mano! qualquer dúvida, apita. :rockon: rogaine (or regaine) is sold in pharmacies too and it's about 20€ or 30€ last time i asked, but check your local pharmacy and you'll get the right price. there's a 2% and a 5% version of rogaine. 5% is stronger (recomended for...
