My 2 cents - if you want to give polysorbate80 a try - go to puritans.com and you can buy 2 bottles for $11. Rub 1 - 2 ml into your scalp 15 minutes before shampooing, and it'll last a good long time.

I put polysorbate80 right up there w/ emu oil and copper peptides. Won't hurt, might help - but don't expect too much.

Polysorbate 80 was a hot item back in the 80's after its recommendation in the book Life Extension by Shaw and Pearson. In theory it was supposed to remove DHT from the scalp. You were supposed to coat your scalp with it, let it sit 10 minutes then wash off. Lots of claims of hair growth were made at the time. It even was released as the Helsinki formula, but the FDA kind of killed it off through the prompting of Upjohn (Rogaine). There are some people that claim it can be helpful, Life Extension International is one of them. No harm in using this, it may do some good.

Yeah I've tried a lot of stuff over the years. Had my best regrowth around 1999/2000 - going from a Norwood 4 to a 3 on proscar, minoxidil, nano and a variety of supplements - but then grew boobs and dropped all hair regrowth measures untl 2004 when I noticed I was a NW5A.

Made a little progress late last summer and into the fall (bald spot filled in) after going back on proscar this time w/ an e-blocker. But this winter I took a step backwards and started looking at what I'd changed in my regimen. (I'd dropped emu oil and nizoral 2 and had gone to nizoral 1 and I dropped proscar 7x weekly for dutasteride 2x weekly and proscar 2 x weekly.)

This March I cranked up my regimen a bit in the hopes of making a recovery: dutasteride 3x weekly, proscar 4x weekly; dropped azaelc acid, ozbrew, and zix and went to spectral dnc 2x daily. Dropped nizoral 1 and went to revita 5x weekly and just got a bottle of Lee's regrowth shampoo for the off-revita days, and I re-stocked my emu oil supply. A few years back I hit a 3 for 1 on polysorbate80 so I apply that in the mornings sometimes before showering. Have been been using tricomin pretty steady the last few years.

Read on Pickart's website recently to apply copper peptides followed by emu oil (he sells both obviously) his rationale being the emu oil pushes the cps further down into the follicle. So just recentl I started applying them both at bedtime.

My hair currently looks great - I just don't have that much of it. :) Hoping for the best.
