Re: To foam it or not ( W/Pics) Month 1 I'd kill to have your hair, bro. If I had what you had, I'd be happy to just maintain it. You have a very mature "Antonio Banderas" hairline. You said you can't spike it up because you look 15, but 15 year olds are the ones with really thick hairlines. I...

Its not FDA approved for regrowing hair. It is FDA approved, yes, but no for growing hair. FDA approval merely means that they've verified it and it seems unlikely to blind people, catch fire, cause botulism, et cetera. Regulatory authority approval for oddball medical devices usually only...

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Don't you watch movies? Laser beams kill people!

Because those hairs that have regrown on Minoxidil are "Minoxidil-dependant". DHT made them fall out ("miniaturize") a long time ago; which is why you are using minoxidil. Just because finasteride is inhibiting DHT doesn't mean that those hair follicles that are particularily susceptable to DHT can...

I've heard it smells pretty bad? How bad is "bad"? I mean, T-Gel makes my hair smell like coal... Also, how messy is it? What if you were only going to apply it in certain spots (say: temples?)

I can't remember what site I got this quote from, I had it saved on my computer... I have read several places that because of the westernization of Japan in Post WWII, hairloss has increased significantly. Granted, this could be due to the large number of european soldiers in Japan at this...

I think there is this general confusion all newbies seem to undergo where they confuse natural, human shedding with "hairloss". The hair you have on your head now is NOT the same hair you had 10 years ago. Hair NATURALLY falls out (even for people NOT balding). This occurs in cycles over...

I laughed at this. Do those apply poly thingo's actually work? Edit, why does it seem that people are split over this whole laser comb thing? I'm thinking about adding it to my regimin.

Hey guys. I generally wear my hair down, and without any product. (I don't like the look of gel, and my hair is too long for that anyway). Should I get the liquid, or the foam? I think if the foam acts sort of like regular mousse, I wouldn't want to use it, as I wouldn't want it to...

*bump* :oops:

Over the course of having a lot of attractive female friends (unfortunately just friends... :( ), I've learned that most people over 6'4" they consider freakishly tall. Especially if you're skinny and gawky. So you guys bragging about being 6'7"... well, girls don't really go for that :P...

5'8" isn't short. A lot of girls are way shorter than that. I'd rather have a great head of hair.

This is exactly why I'm hesitant to start minoxidil. Say in 10 years they invent a cream that totally reverses the effects of baldness. "Ooops, sorry, for people with minoxidil-dependant hairs, this won't work.". Whats more, I know minoxidil *spreads* when it is absorbed into the scalp... so what if...

Hrmm, Say you are using Finasteride, and you add minoxidil to that routine... And you are only applying minoxidil to the "balding" areas (in my case, just the sides of my forhead). And say minoxidil regrows these hairs, while Finasteride keeps doing its job of halting/slowing baldness for the rest of...

Jayman... you aren't even going bald. please leave this forum right away. Also, if you want to go for the "messy look" without using Gel (ick!), get something called Molding Paste... you rub it together in your hands, really get it warm, and then work it into your hair. Best part is...
