dilemma - change my regimen?

[flimflam]

yeah, so, quick summary of me: diffuse thinning in obvious NW4V shape, propecia since january (6 months), spectral.RS for 2 months.

I'm getting bored with the buzzed head and I want my hair back. But I aint growing that shizz out til I sprout some new ones.

I've seen very little (if any) in terms of regrowth.

I've been on spectral.rs which is like rogaine without the minoxidil. it's got other goodies in it like aminexil and procyanidin. that was the "growth stimulant" part of my regimen. the reason I chose that over minoxidil, is that the regrown hair will not be dependant on it (so they say).

now, I have infront of me: One month's supply of spectral.RS and four month's supply of Rogaine foam.

Do I say screw it and hit the minoxidil? Or try one more month with the spectral.rs ? I think ... *think* ... *possibly* I'm getting regrowth with the rs but it's soooo fricking hard to tell.

but I'd knee myself in the testicles if I wasted another month.

gah!

I just tried the foam, my my my its pretty sexual. so easy to apply and dries in less than 5 minutes. half a cap did my front and back.

one interesting note; propecia has made my hair blaaaaack like it was when I was 16.

Good luck with the foam Flimflam! (I switched from the liquid to the foam 2 months ago)

I've looked in DivineSkin site for the RS:
http://www.divineskin.com/spectralRS/how.asp
check out item number 2:
"Preventing the conversion of testosterone into DHT including the binding of DHT to hair-follicle receptors."
Could you please have a look at the ingredients list on your RS bottle? What's in it that could inhibit 5ar or block the receptors? I thought it is only aminexil and applepoly? any other ingredients? and also: does it contain some copper peptitdes? They don't give the ingr' list on their site, just the ingr' list of the spectral DNC.
and one last question (sorry for asking too much ), do you know what is the percentage of the aminexil in RS? I know that DNC contains 1%, and Vichy Dercos (that I'm using) is 1.5%. If it's more than 1.5% I'll switch to it, but I'll still use the foam of course.

if i were you id try the applepoly topical. you seem to have all other bases covered. im not a big fan of spectral bs or dnc theres just not enough positive feedback.
