Has any products worked for anyone?

[ryan-uk]

Hey people.
Im kind of new to this site so bare with me. I am 20 and started loosing my hair about 6 months ago and just got really bad. I have felt down and low. It has really effected me badly, which im sure it has everyone else.
I have tried so much to help beat this. Im currently on Propecia.
I have been reading the site and that, and I guess I just want to know if anyone out there has actually used products to help the balding issue and if its actually worked?

Would be greatful if I get some replys.

The general advice given here is that the "big 3" is the best chance possible of regrowing hair. The "big 3" consists of:

- Finasteride (Propecia, Proscar, Fincar etc.) which you're already using.
- Minoxidil (Rogaine 5% foam seems to be the best, with the highest success results) twice per day, morning & night
- Nizoral 1% or 2% (an anti-dandruff shampoo) thrice per week / every 2nd or 3rd day - leave on for 5 mins

Dutasteride is an alternative to finasteride and has a higher success rate, but the chances of side effects are higher. Never use both at the same time.

------------------------------------

Many people have had success with these treatments but it takes time as well to see results (I'm still waiting...!). Anywhere from 3 months to 2 years, but some have reported seeing results as early as 1 month into it.

Have a look at the "Success Stories" section in this forum... A lot of members have posted there with their experiences. Here are a few who have done really well:

...of course these results are not gonna happen for everyone, but here's proof the big 3 work. Unfortunately there's very little else that's proven to grow hair or stop the loss.
