so for the past year and a couple months i've been getting my 5% minoxidil from Target whenever i visit the US and fly home to Toronto with it...
i haven't visited the US for a bit and i'm running out so i need to get some more - im wondering if anyone knows of any foolproof ways to obtain it...
thanks for the advice guys :) i just realized there is an entire sub-forum devoted to the topic of shedding so i'll go snoop around there - been about 2 weeks now and still shedding!
i like my hair longer too but it was so much easier to do the regimen with a shaved head!
Month 9!
hello again! just an update here to track my progress...
here's a recent pic of my hair...
i've noticed that the balding spot in the back isn't as prominent as it once was - although it's not completely covered with hair stilll... the front is still receeded but i can live...
so i've been on my big 3 regimen for a couple months now...
but i've noticed that my scalp is easily dried out and the nizoral, unless i use it everyday, isn't as effective in keeping my scalp healthy...
so i ask you - is it safe to moisturize the scalp and then use minoxidil on it?
or...

i do have a question though - since Propecia keeps your hair from falling out, and minoxidil...
so i'm experiencing some allergic reactions to Propecia it seems...
so it doesn't look like i will keep it up...
so im going to change my regimen to just minoxidil and Nizoral...
I'll keep you updated!
well i got a month's supply of propecia to start so we'll see how this goes...
if my dick becomes like a dead house plant i have no problem dropping propecia...
id rather have wood than hair ;)
Regimen - with Pics!
Ok so I've been using 5% Minoxidel as well as Nizoral shampoo as my regimen until today...
I got a prescription for Propecia so now I have the three-pronged attack! :P
Here's some pics of the before...
late spring 2006 - spikey look with balding patch in the...
thanks for your help Taugenichts! a couple points i wanted to respond to...
i am sure we can get it here just not at 5% - i read in another thread on here that its like 2% - and 5% is only prescription...
what is DHT?
what is the benefit of this shampoo?
thanks again Taugenichts - ill keep...
Hi all,
Newbie here - please be gentle :wink:
I'll give you a bit of background on my situation...
Around the age of 23/24 I started to notice my hair was falling out rather rapidly. I am now 25 and have a nice balding spot on the back of my head. About a month ago I decided to shave...
