Spent a fortune on these with no results

[Silverfox]

Hi all,

lookng for some advice. I have been experimenting with natural treatments for mild diffuse thinning for 14 months now. I started off with Beta-sisterol/Saw Palmetto tablets (400mg a day) and used Nutrifolica SLS-free shampoo with loads recognised helpful ingredients. Then 13 months ago I added daily topical Nutrifolica (see the ingredients, all good stuff). I also added a good multivitamin, iron, MSM, gentle head massage, scalp exercises, Nizoral, Gingko Biloba, Holland & Barrett Vitamins for the hair, and a few other things like Spirilina, Zinc, Copper, Biotin, etc.

After 14 months of religious pill popping & topical applying my hair appears to be no thicker or healthier, infact sometimes under the lights of the bathroom mirror I think it is worse. . My brother is a few years older and has thicker hair than me and my Dad still had a good head of hair (receding hairline) at my age, although he lost alot in his 50s. I have ordered copper peptides to add to the buffet of pills & lotions, but am starting to lose optimism.

Any suggestions guys?? I know I can go the big 3 route, but I have been tryingthe organic natural route first. All the stuff I use is widely recognised to help hair loss, and surely I am attacking this from enough different angles to make some effect? I am using stuff that blocks DHT, increases blood flow, cleans sebum, reduces inflamation, etc,etc, but still I think my hair count is less than a year ago. SURELY SOMETHING SHOULD BE MAKING A DIFFERENCE!!!

Any suggestions welcome. :dunno:

I have ordered some American crew revitalize with coper peptides. Any opinions on these???

I can certainly understand your wanting to go topical first, but as you can see it was money down the toilet. This site does not dub the "Big 3" as such for no better reason. You should always start with those and stick those before risking more hair to something unproven. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Give Revivogen or Zix a shot, they MAY work.

The big 3 are still your best bet.

Silver, try Alpecin ASL and the shampoo....I also have diffuse thinning and it has slowed it down alot. Not enough time has passed for me to tell if it has stopped it. About 3 weeks of use.

none of that crap will work, we call them the "big 3" for a reason

I agree. I dont see propecia, rogaine, or spironolactone in there. May as well use nizoral i guess but i dont consider that a part of the big 3. You wont regrow or stop hairloss on nizoral alone so i say its just like saw palmetto its a very minor help but not strong enough on its own. The big 2 is propecia and rogain. Nizoral isnt even fda approved to do anything. Propecia or rogain are the only 2 treatments that will do anything as far as im concerned. Dutasteride of course is good. spironolactone, and all the maybe topicals are if the big 2 dont work or for an alternate route. Im convinced the vitamins and herbs do nothing ive experimented with all that crap too.

I was looking for treatments other than big 3 for the lonnnnnnnnnngest time, and I regret doing so.

nothing works other than finasteride, minoxidil and nizoral definitely helps improve scalp condition.

I am not saying big 3 is the only way to deal with it, but those are the primary weapons you should consider.
