Hey guys haven't been here for a while, but just wanted to report in on my experience with taking Saw Palmetto. I used about two pills every day or every other day. Initially I noticed a big shed, but after five or six months they lessened. I got off it after about 7mo's because the...

Yeah I've read a lot of threads that have made me weary of finasteride. I read on another forum that one user retained like 50% of what he had gained with finasteride after stopping, but it is just anecdotal nevertheless. Also I've read that people who have oily skin might have hormones that counteract the...

Man I'm scared of losing my existing hair on finasteride too. Maybe I'll have to consider topical spironolactone or something then. Anybody retain even a little of what they gained after stopping finasteride?

Hey guys I was just wondering if taking a small dose of finasteride weekly for 6 months would be worth doing. I am considering taking 1mg of finasteride per week, since I'm trying to get a small amount of temple hair back on the left side(the rest of my hair is reasonably thick). Also I have really oily skin...

Been using Nizoral for 8-9 months now, hasn't really helped anything hair wise. It did get rid of my scalp itch for good, however my scalp now feels dry and I've also noticed that my hairline is getting worse on the same side I was applying nizoral to.

I lost hella hair in the course of 3 months after I drank a gallon of milk a day. Before that I never had any sign of hair loss. Milk sucks

Hi guys, came across a new movement of people trying to make their own shampoo. Google "no-poo". They basically use castile soap or a mixture of water, baking soda, vinegar and a thickening agent like cornstarch or oatmeal powder. I used the apple cider vinegar and hair feels a lot more...

I had never noticed anything wrong with my hairline prior to starting the milk diet, however I'm planning on waiting it out another 3 months to see if it was Telogen Effluvium or not because maybe I just didn't notice male pattern baldness before. The temple hair looks like it is coming in, but I applied all sorts of topicals...

Temple Hair Regrowth/Thickening after 3/mo (topicals & supps)! Ello guys I am back to share a progress update. After doing the stupid GOMAD diet where I was drinking a gallon of milk a day, I had noticed my left hairline was totally messed up. I had lost a ton of hair and noticed a corner...

According to this site and a few others I came across, phyto estrogens are responsible for competing with stronger estrogen receptors. It went on to state that used in conjunction with some sort of DHT inhibitor that phyto estrogens could help with hair loss. Any one tried using a phytoestrogen...

I can't vouch for the efficacy of ACV, however I am almost certain insulin resistance plays a strong role in male pattern baldness. I drank a gallon of milk a day for 2 months and my left temple hairline saw massive rounding and loss within that time period. I'm not sure right now whether it was Telogen Effluvium or not...

I'm ugly, but I still managed to get a girlfriend. I met her online and I didn't have a picture or anything up in my profile and she said that she was attracted to me just by reading the profile alone. If you truly want someone to value you for your personality, then it is reasonable for you to...

1. I was thinking more along the lines of the mino getting absorbed through the skin into the bloodstream and causing unwanted hair growth throughout the body? Also would it be permanent? 3. EDIT: NVM found the answer to this one in another thread by Warlord Would this be all the hair...

1. Will minoxidil cause unwanted facial and body hair growth on men that cannot be reversed after discontinuing use? I really would not like this side. 2. Is it effective at the side temple region of the hairline? 3. Will all the possible hair growth stimulated by minoxidil disappear after...

Ya I looked it up. Milk also seems to have a high insulinotropic response and its main protein source casein is purportedly not an easily digestible protein. In any case, I know that drinking so much milk couldn't have been good for me, or my hair, and that's is why I was surmising that the hair...
