Hi All,
First post here. I'm about to turn 39, I'm newly single, and would like to improve my hair to look my best... I'm about to give some treatments a try - unless someone talks me out of it! It seems my hair has only gotten slightly worse over the last 10 years (sure hasn't gotten better tho!). Here are a couple pictures from today:

I'd love to get some / most of it back, but fear the most likely result is just keeping what I have? Anyway, I've done some reading and likely going to try the following products. I will NOT try Finasteride - not even going to take a chance on the sexual and other side-effects... Having hair isn't *that* important to me. So, this is what I'm considering:

1. Rogaine Foam 5%
2. Topical Spironolactone S5
3. Revivogen (plus shampoo)
- Revivogen + S5 to attempt finasteride benefits without side effects. How likely tho? And should I get both of these products (S5 & Revivo) or is one of the two sufficient?
4. Nizoral shampoo every 2-3 days (Revivogen shampoo on the other days) - I also considered RegenePure DR, but it's 1% keto...

It looks like this will total about $82 per month (using Kirkland Minoxidil foam, Nizoral from Amazon, and the other products from HairLossTalk). Think I'm wasting my money with the S5 and/or Revivogen? Those are the two most expensive components of my regimen... Can I have some growth success with just minoxidil & Nizoral? Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

hi! Nizoral and Minoxidil for now. try them for at least 6 to 12 months and if you are not happy with the result, add something else (I would add S5). I wouldn't bother using Revivogen or other shampoos that claim as hair growth products. Good luck!

Thanks! That's what I'm starting with. Although I did purchase S5 after my initial post, I'm a little wary of using it. Taking the oral product is clearly bad, but I'm worried about similar side-effects of the topical spironolactone too... Should I be? Any studies indicating side-effects of topical spironolactone? Thanks,
