About Eucapil. It's a topical anti-androgen, meaning it will block the follicle androgen-receptors dht & testosterone uses to signal your follicles to minituarise. I don't know how much hair you're losing a day, but if it is more than normal you should see a decrease within a matter of weeks, which is one of the reasons I think it's a good idea to try it out if you don't like the idea of using finasteride. Because you can gauge it's effectiveness very quickly and thus don't run the risk of spending your cash for 6 months or more before making a judgement.

Where do I get the idea that it should work within weeks? This what they claim on their site, and the reports from people using it all confirm this is true. If you go to their site's faq page - http://www.eucapil.com/xhtml_en/eucapil.shtml - you will probably notice their explanations/claims are rather balanced. They don't promise to cure your male pattern baldness, which certainly helps in the credibility department as far as I'm concerned. They also make references to their clinical data, which I haven't been able to access unfortunatly. I doubt however that most finasteride-users have gone through the trouble of looking at the clinical reports from Merck.

You wouldn't need to worry about systemic effects from Fluridil, because it is designed to break down when it comes in contact with water (your bloodstream). This does mean it has to be applied on a dry scalp and preferably before bed (to avoid rain ...).


I will be using Fluridil in the near future myself, 5 times a week for the first 2 weeks and then once every 2 days after that (saving money that way). I think it wil probably be just as effective that way because the androgen receptors (which are proteins) take about 48 hours to renew themself and then need to be blocked again. I will post on how it works out for me.

How could you give that kind of advice?!

Your the kind of guy I listened to 5 months ago. "Dont try finasteride, it'll totally screw up your hormones and youll get everything from tits to possible bone decay, impotence, worse hair, blah, blah, blah..."
In turn, I wasted months in treatment to save my hair.

So now your saying that Flluridil is sfe and it works in weeks because the web site says so? :roll:

What is it about the words double blind, placebo, clinical trials and FDA approval, that you dont understand? Yet you are willing to try a totally unproven method (Fluridil) and even suggest it to someone else?

Hold off on dishing out any more advice untill you do a little more research. I wish I had NEVER listed to guys like you months ago because finasteride and minoxidil are absolutly helping out my situation.

I have been on finasteride for 4 months, going on 5. I am still horny as ever. Im still getting morning wood. I still ejaculate the same. I still keep boners.

Stingray is taking twice the amount that I am and he is not having any problems. Most of the guys on hair loss sites are the desperate few that finasteride didnt work for or are guys that dont know much about it.

The drug works for the majority of men, plain and simple. You cant tell the impact of a drug on someone before they even tried it for all you know, the guy will never see a problem form using Propecia, so please dont make it sound like most guys who take finasteride are having their pensis' fall off.

Your post did come off as pro Fluridil and anti Finesteride and Im getting tired of people dissing finasteride when they didnt even try it.

HAH!!!!!!!!!!

Okay I can't resist.

Back in 1992 when This hair style was cool... i had the exact same one.

Here it is folks. Me at age 19. 10 years ago....

Can you guess which one is me? Can you guess who I wanted to be as a Teenager? I kept my hair a lot dirtier and .. uh ... more uh ... "grungy" ... to coin a phrase... than Chris does ... This was after a wash though, and the picture was intended to be funny. Enough disclaimers? We used to sit in coffee houses with a bunch of girls who looked like hot Alanis Morrisette's, listening to poetry, with candles lit, and taking about how we were too cool for society and hated everything that sold out for money, and they used to "pet" my hair the whole time and tell me how nice it was. Again, this is back when this hairstyle was cool.

Heh. Yo man, in 95, I was rocking the long hair and the undercut. God, it was terrible.

 

[Chris23]

I don't have an undercut, it's all nice and 1 length, haha

i don't get why you guys hide your face in pictures? what's the big deal showing it anyways? it;s practically being shown anyways. anyways, i used to have long hair. can't remember the feeling of having it anymore though. but it does give you a completely different look

When you have 150,000 people who you are responsible for every single month, many of which (recently proven) are not operating with a full deck of cards, anonymity is important. Others block their faces out because they don't want friends or family running across the photos online and giving them a hard time about it.

Change style,and colmb back

The wieght alone is going to speed up hair loss by acting as force down.And if you loose more,it will look o.k on you.Right now pulled back looks great and I would kill for your hairline.I vote to go for the forever cool wet pulled back look.You would rule with it.
Honestly,your style now looks too funky.Not because of your hairline,just the style.Yoou want to look cool,like the coolest cats in the 1950's? Take my tips.

 

[Chris23]

I would do the pull back, slick back look but i'm too self conscious about the thinning up front..i dont know why everyone is getting omn my *** about my hairstyle, i mean everyone who grows their hair our pratically goes thru this stage, i just saw a pic of johnny depp last night and his hair style is almost identical to mine, he might have some layers and thicker hair but other then that there's no difference, same with tom cruise. but noone gets on them or tells them to cut their hair, i took my pics to another hair site for mens long hair and ive had over 30 replies of nothing but great compliments telling me how beautiful my hair is from both men and women just because most of you cant grow ur hair long anymroe is no reason to hate on someone who can, as you guys are
But for those of you who have given me advice and stayed away from the insults I do appreciate it, the reason I came here was because of trying to find ways to fix the hairline so i can do the ponytail, slicked back look, im still leaning towards hair restoration in the front, i dont think id need much work there, but im not sure yet..

Chris,

I know its difficult to hear some of the things people posted about your hairstyle but all anyone was trying to do was help you improve your appearance.

I had long hair too. I had it REALLY long, down to the small of my back but I never blunt cut it the way you did. You gotta layer it up a little or chop it up a bit so it has some depth.

Everyone who grew out their hair knows that you will go through a dorky stage, but it can be minimized by just giving yourself a different haircut.

After having my hair as long as it was and being called everything from a girl to a Native Chief, I dont know why anyone would grow it out that long again. Plus its way easier to take care of shorter hair.

Good Luck.

 

[Chris23]

I thought about putting some layers in like Cruise or Depp has, but I'm afariad it'll take away from my length and I'm not sure how to do it, I had real short hair a few yrs ago and when she cut it off she put layers in it and i dindt like it really and ppl said that it makes the hair look thinner, so im not sure what to do about that really

 

[|SweetJesus|]

Dude just go to a professional hair salon, not the one you go to now, and ask them to do something, anything to your mop. Maybe go through a women's catalog and pick out a nice new hairstyle :wink:

 

[Chris23]

I can't possibly be insulted by someone with your lack of hair. :hairy:

 

[elguapo]

You guys are funny! I thought I posted the DUMBEST thread not more than a week ago about penis size being linked to balding, and I took so much sh*t I couldn't even bare to revisit the responses. =) But it's all good!!! Now I know how Michael Jackson felt when Saddam was caught. Soon the heat will be on some other guy.

Chris23, nobody likes you cuz you're 23, that's all! Man, I love that song, and Blink.

Anyway, I'm writing because I can't even see the gd pics!!! can you please repost the URL. Don't worry, won't comment on your hairstyle. I actually want to put mine up, to get some advice. My hair doesn't look bad, but I am damn sure I can go with 100+ hairstyles that are better than my boring cut.

I've been on Propecia for almost 4 months now, and shedding has stopped (at 2.5 mo mark). But I still can't help but wonder if I am losing my hairline as well.

Please cut and paste the url again. I'm a moron! Thanks.
