I need some advice

[jimbob]

Hi guys, i'm new here so be nice to me!

Here's my situation, I am 24, my hair started receding at 18 which i can cope with but for the last year or so my head has been extremely itchy and nothing seems to work. I have tried using t-gel which did nothing. I have just started using Nizoral so i cant comment on whether thats working or not yet.

Anyway, i think this could have contributed to my thinning hair, i am now starting to see my scalp through my hair, especially towards the hairline. And over the past few months i have been shedding alot of hair, it was pretty scary in the shower the other day as my hair just seemed to come off in my hands!

Can anyone suggest what i should be using, bearing in mind i'm pretty skint and dont have much time in the day to spend on my hair? Is there 1 particular drug that everyone would recommed for thicker hair?

Thanks for your time

Jimbob

Easy peasy.

If your not on it, get some finasteride. Goes by the name of Propecia. Propecia, however, is a bit costly so you should look for Proscar.

Proscar is the same thing but in a larger tablet. You split the tablet into 1mg doses, which is the same size as Propecia pills.

I would say the majority of people on HairLossTalk.com do this. Crazy savings can be made compared to Merck's Propecia.

Nizoral should not be used more than 3-4 time a week maximum. It is a great shampoo, but on it's own it won't really help you.

For my first year of treatment I used T-Gel and liked it, but T-Gel is so harsh. I dropped it after a bad summer shed in 2003 and never looked back.
