First of all, I just wanna say im not trying to sell you guys anything. This is a real story of how i restored my hair back to when i was like in junior high. Its really quite amazing.
Ever since i was young, i was always scared of going bald because its simply not pretty. When i was in my late teens and early 20s, i had a large afro and i noticed my hair was receding and my forehead was getting bigger. I searched on the web about hair loss and came across this site. You can check my posts from many years ago when i first joined.
Anyways, back then i started off with rogaine liquid 5% and then i used the kirkland 5% version that i bought at costco and had great results for 2 years. I had also purchased folligen spray and cream but it was really messy and i never did use it consistently. It also made my scalp green so it was kinda too funky for me. Im sure it would work if you use it consistently but i never did and ended up throwing like 5 bottles away.
So after those great 2 years that i had with kirkland, i noticed my hair was thinning and receding at the front. I guess i was building a tolerance to minoxidil. I read somewhere on the forum here that when your body builds a tolerance to it, you gotta stop for a few months and then go back on. Anyways, i stopped using kirkland and i pretty much lost all the regrown hairs i had with it. I never went back on it and just hoped my hair loss would stabilized. So during the next couple of years, i wasnt using aything and started buzzing my head closer and closer as the receding progressed so it wouldnt look as bad.
Then last year, i noticed my left temple was building a bald spot so i tried to improvise with my haircut to cover it up so i shaved off a straight line from that bald spot up a few inches like a design..lol. It worked for a few months but then i noticed that bald spot was getting larger so i ended up just lining my hair above that bald spot and my forehead instantly grew like a half inch bigger. My forehead was pretty big and i ended up shaving my head with a 0.5 clip so it didnt look as bad. My hair was thinning all over on top as well. I wanted to do something about it so i ended up getting rogaine foam. The foam is great because it dries pretty much instantly so it was really convenient for me to use in the morning before work. I used it for like 2 weeks and noticed shedding which is common and i knew the hair would grow back thicker like it had when i used minoxidil many moons ago.
Anyways, i really wanted to maintain my hair and i knew with just minoxidil, you were still susceptible to dht so i was thinking of going on finasteride but i read too many horror stories on it and didnt wanna take a chance. I searched online for products and came across lipogaine. I read all the reviews on amazon and it sounded too good to be true. I tried to filter out the real reviews from the bogus ones but had a hard time. I also saw a youtube clip of a review by some guy that uses steroids and he was raving about it so i decided to give it a shot and purchased a bottle.
So for the last 2 weeks, thats all i been using but i have noticed tremendous results. I put it on all over my head on top and its really easy to get the solution on there cause my hair is so short right now. I was using a straight edge razer to line up my receding hairline above my balding left temple but i was still putting the solution in that area. I didnt notice a shed while using it. I guess because i was using rogaine foam for the prior 2 weeks and my hair was already used to the minoxidil. Anyways, i have noticed my hair getting really thick lately. My real hairline that i been shaving off a good 0.5 to 0.75 inch each haircut was growing back but it was nice and thick. My balding left temple was filling in nicely too and i can see vellus hairs in that area if i look really close. It might be the rogaine foam but my hair has never looked this nice till i used lipogaine. Its really a miracle product. I pretty much have my hairline that i had when i was 13 or 14 now. I stopped straight edge razoring off that half inch or so off cause its thick again. Its pretty much surreal to me and thats why i wanted to tell my story here. You guys need to try this product. Im not gonna talk too much about it but it blocks dht as well. Just read up about it on google.
Keep in mind that i have used nizoral for years along with Impruv vitamin supplement thats good for hair, skin, and nails. I dont contribute that to the success ive had recently though because its been so dramatic. Im sure its lipogaine. I was thinking of using rogaine foam in the morning and lipogaine at night but im thinking now of just using lipogaine both morning and night because its so good. It does make your hair stiff if it gets on it and it leaves a little residue on your skin if you put too much but it has no odor and doesnt make my scalp itch. Ive been applying it on my scalp pretty evenly so it looks perfectly fine with barely to no residue.
Anyways, let me know what you guys think of my story or have any questions. Again, im a real person suffering from male pattern baldness and not trying to sell you this product but it absolutely works. I have so much more confidence now.
Thank you for reading.
