He decided after a year or two (I don't remember) that his hair was disappearing regardless. I agree from what I can see on the webcam. But I talked him out of stopping. I told him to just use Nizoral 2x per week, and use Fincar cut in 4ths ($7 per month) and just stop all the nasty expensive topicals. I can totally understand him not wanting to pay for proscar if it is not even saving his top. I told him he needs to preserve his side hair because a topper costs less than a full cap hair piece. So I'm the guinee pig for mid February.

Did not work for him. He used it 6 months, and said his hair is getting worse. I saw him on the webcam. Maybe it was the camera contrast, but he looked a lot worse. His vehicle was 50% oleic acid, 50% everclear, and 2-3% RU. Easy to spread it with his hair so thin.

I still say if you don't get sides from finasteride, guy fincar and cut it in 4ths to save your sides, $7 per month. You can get a decent topper from toplace for $200, or a better quality one for $300 from cool piece, and it will last 4 months, the coolpiece one. The toplace ones don't last quite as long. Just what I read from some people. I'm just talking about swiss lace though.

He was also using rogains foam during this time. I bet his shed was from that. It was not a sudden shed though. Just gradual downhill for 4 months until he decided it was not working and just gave up on all topicals.

He would have to be an exceptional responder to get the density he wants from the foam. A piece would be faster, but unless he is as detail oriented as me, he'd mess the piece up and get outed.
