Hello. I'm Alex. I'm 30 years old and as of the last two years I had had a receeding hairline at the corners aswell as hair thinning out generally all-over the scalp, especially near front. One side (left side) looked like it was vanishing quicker than the other!! Also a problem with the hair on the sides of my scalp, just above side burns.
Have used:
Regaine (UK name for 'Rogaine') liquid - not foam - 3/4 months from summer 2011, no difference as far as I can tell
Saw Palmetto - just one month, had to discontinue as it gave me really bad acne!!
Vitamin E, Vitamin A, B3, B12, Omega 3-6-9 etc
Also taken 1000mg of Vitamin C daily for three years and Nourkrin 'Extra Strength' for exactly three months.
Took 'finasteride' for 2 months but had to stop due to side effects.
After a 1 month break from finasteride I began using something here in the UK called 'Divine herbal hair oil' which was recommended to me by a female friend who had used it herself and had good things to say. I had already tried 'natural' things as per above without success and Finasteride - although I managed to get it very cheaply (£5 for a 4 months supply!!) and it would have fit into my budget just perfectly. Can't comment on the results as I didn't give it long enough due to the sides. Howevor with the hair oil I noticed results within a cpl of weeks. Hair stopped falling and then about 4/5 weeks later I noticed signs of new hair growth. No sides whatsoever. Its now been a month since I stopped using as I dropped the bottle and spilt everywhere but the results are still the same. Shedding has not increased or decreased. new hair still there. Will post some pics in a moment.
