help with receding hairline

[bokkie]

Hi all,I am about a 2 on the norwood scale and want to try and tackle the problem before it gets worse. I have been looking at rogaine, problem is it's not recommended for receding hair, only for the vertex. I then looked at laser combs, but feedback is not brilliant and once again, not really for receding hair.
Should i try minoxidl? Is the kirkland minoxidl as good as regaine?
I was also looking at ds labs revivogen shampoo. Anyone had experience with it or something better? Is there anyone out there who has been in a similar position and found something that works?
Could you pls help me with a starting point?
Not really keen on propecia due to the sexual side affects.
Thanks for your time.

Try the minoxidil, it does not matter if it is Rogaine or Kirkland, both are the same. minoxidil helps me, but not propercia, it did nothing for me, and just sides. I dropped it after 3 years .

Thanks for reply.
Think I am going to try Kirkland minoxidil and Nizoral shampoo for a few months and see how i get on. my hair loss is gradual so i think i have time to try it out before taking the plunge and getting propecia, which is pretty expensive.
My concern is that minoxidil is only recommended for vertex and not receding hair.
Any thoughts on my choice? anything better shampoo wise than Nizoral?
Am I right in saying that you need a prescription for propecia? Didn't really want to go to my gp about it.
Thanks again
Keep the advice coming
