Newb needs regimen rated.

[Guest]

I'm new, hello. I noticed there's isn't a place people can state their regimen and have people give advice. Perhaps someone could start an official "rate my regimen", thread?

Anyway, I'm 21 and I started losing around 19, recently it's been getting noticable, and I'm taking a stand. I don't want sexual side effects, so Propecia is a no for me, and I'm not super advanced yet, so maybe I'll take it easy for now. I was thinking Crinagen, Folligen, and Nizoral %1 or %2. (should I add, say, the Nioxin conditioner? And is it "bad" to use Nizoral every day?)

Could someone be so kind as to rate that regimen for me, and please, unless you're knowledgable on the subject or have used any of those items don't say, "you're a newb, take propecia". :lol:

Any advice on possible alternatives to those would be appreciated, but in my reasearch I didn't find any that were much better. Oh, one last favour, do those products cover most of the bases, meaning, the various causes and side effects of male pattern baldness?

Thanks for any help. We male pattern baldness sufferers have to stick together....

Sigh, no help yet, and I'll be ordering today or tommorrow. Bump.

In my opinion topical 5% spironolactone or fluridil should be much much better then crinagen. I'm using fluridil and I think it's working so far, but due to price considerations you could try first spironolactone.

fluridil/eucipil is another topical inhibitor you could look into.

don't use nizoral everyday, it will ruin your hair. use 3x week absolute max. also look into revita.

dont know anything about Crinagen or folligen sorry.

*sigh* everyone is so worried about propecia side effects. i don't get any sides at all. it really is the best defence for male pattern baldness so I would consider trying it and then quitting if you do experience side effects.

i don't know if all that is good enough for you as you didn't post pics.

I would stay away from the Crinagen and go with Revivogen if you plan on going the topical route to address the DHT issue. Someone here did a test with both products on arm hair and the effective product, which was Revivogen, worked to reduce the arm hair in the area applied. Crinagen apparently did nothing.

I'm not sure what your plans are for the Folligen, but it's good for a healthy scalp and there have been reports of thickening from it. If you need regrowth, I would recommend minoxidil for that.

Nizoral should probably not be used every day although there are some that do. If you do chose to use it every day, I would recommend using a conditioner...any old kind will do.

My honest opinion of your regimen (assuming you take my advice and go with Revivogen) is that it's pretty lame without finasteride. If you're really trying to save your hair you should go with the finasteride, but if you go topical, Revivogen, topical spironolactone, or both is probably your best option at this point.

Thanks for the replies, I was hoping there would be support for Crinagen, meh.

Anyway, so if I take Revivogen, Folligen, and Nizoral, is that a decent regimen? Oh, got some pics, but they are big, I swear I tried making them smaller, but they won't let me. If these are to big, sorry, I resized them so many times that I think I must be trapped in an alternate demension where smaller means bigger.

I agree with Beaner the bread and butter for any serious hairloss regimen is either finasteride or dutasteride but if you don't want to use that go with revivogen, folligen and nizoral. From looking at your pics maintenance is the key, you don't seem that far gone so try to hold on to what you have. Like I said, I would consider finasteride but thats just my opinion.
