So yesterday, while I was getting a haircut, I tried to ask my barber for some tips.
He's bald and kinda young (around 30 years old), so I thought he has some experience in this field of hairloss products and meds.

He told me:
"Propecia will KILL your sex life and stay away from it"

He didn't even know what's minoxidil is. So I told him and told him that there are medical proves that minoxidil works, although it has some side effects like white flakes.
Right after that he told me "see, these all products and meds are full of sh*t and do nothing good for your health, I can recommend you a special shampoo that prevents losing hair."

I can't remember the name of the shampoo.
He told me "you're young, you don't need those meds and pills. Just the shampoo. And in my opinion you don't need to do anything. You still look great, small temples and that's it. It's the stress which causes you to lose your mind and lose your hair. You shouldn't think about hairloss in your age, I lost all my hair when I was 25."

I have told him "yeah. Especially because i'm young I can still prevent it and keep my hair. I should act now".

But then.. What caused me not to trust any of his words was that when I asked him about the shampoo that he was talking about "Can I order it online? Where can I buy it?" he told me "Don't trust online sites. Buy it only from trusted sellers like barbers and barbershops."

Then I understood that he just wants my money lol..

But what you guys think about it? Is this kind of shampoo really exists and works?

Thanks.

You very well know what the community thinks about "special" oils and shampoos.

yeah.. I just want to be sure that there is nothing to treat my hair before going on mino & finasteride because I don't know if I'll be able to keep the regime for the rest of my life. I'm 22.

Oil is just used to condition your hair and scalp. The most an oil or shampoo can do is make your scalp and existing terminal hairs healthier. The terminal hairs seem healthier just from the outside. The entire hairloss mechanism is actually taking place beneath your scalp,inside your hair follicle. Hence,only a medicine that can inhibit the "dht f*****g up your follicle" process will be able to combat hairloss.

The barber is just salty.

He knows nothing of hair loss treatments, if he had and done his research, he'd still have most of his hair.

When these fellas are past the point of no return and cue ball, the only advice they have is to say 'just shave it bro' or in your case a 'special shampoo', as it's too late and they're just bitter and in complete denial.

People love to give ignorant uninformed opinions often not on purpose. People just love to talk whether they know anything about it or not. Id see a professional like a dermatologist that knows about hair, and go with their opinion vs a barber.

The average punter will know almost nothing about hair loss besides some stupid myths like 'it's caused by wearing hats' or some topical product bought in a pharmacy containing caffeine and saw palmetto is the magical cure. Even most doctors won't know as much as the average forum user here when it comes to how to most effectively maintain+regrow hair bar the obvious finasteride and minoxidil.

When first considering hair loss treatments, use the collective research of thousands of forum users who have been doing this for years, look at the treatments most discussed here, you'll probably find finasteride, minoxidil, nizoral, RU58841, setipiprant, that's a good place to start. It's unlikely enough to regrow hair using the most credible treatments, and substantially more unlikely to get results using a topical lotion that nobody has heard about.

Yes, it DOES work.

And, I can sell you some next to my "special King" land I own in New England. I can give you a plot
of the magic fertilizer, but only for 1000.00 down payment.

Why is the fertilizer so good? Because it comes from a SACRED COW that was raised with special
mineral formula. o_O

Please PM me your debit card payment, along with your special PIN number and ID, for further
instructions on how to receive this wonderful ONE TIME OFFER ONLY!
