    What shampoo should I use in my off-days from Nizoral?

    I'm curious why you use both Revita and Nizoral. I thought Revita had the 1% keto as well as other things good for hair. Maybe someone can explain the benefit of 1% Nizoral over Revita.

    painful scalp

    Give it a couple weeks. It's been about a week for me back on it and I still get a tiny tickle on my scalp in the morning but after I eat breakfast and take some saw palmetto it's gone in only a few minutes. Hopefully finasteride has the same effect for you. finasteride actually made my itch worse but I think...

    I bought Minoxidile but I hear it's a crappy brand. Help plz

    It's fine but most people here say to wait until your scalp is dry because if its wet too much of the minoxidil goes into your bloodstream and you get more side effects (bloated face, unwated hair growth).

    Diet, lifestyle, the mind, and hair loss

    Haha yea he got bit riled up didn't he. As for the diet/lifestyle argument. I do think eating a high fat diet can exacerbate things but eating healthy and exercising will at best marginally slow your hair loss down. The only thing that ever grew my hair back was using minoxidil with nizoral...

    painful scalp

    it's called inflammation. You can do a google search on it but basically it's because the oil on your scalp combined with DHT causes some autoimmune defense reaction with your scalp and your body basically attacks itself thinking its protecting it. That burn is very bad its your scalp attacking...

    Any way of increasing our SHBG (SexHormone-binding Globulin)

    Most vegans I've seen look a bit sickly and weak to me. I wouldn't recommend eating steak and bacon everyday but I find it hard to believe a moderate amount of chicken and fish is bad for you.

    Any way of increasing our SHBG (SexHormone-binding Globulin)

    I also live in China and indeed there are plenty of balding men here. Yes they eat meat but not as much as westerners do. The bigger problem is they fry everything using vegetable oil. Pollution is also a big factor. My scalp has been itching like crazy since I've been here. However my roommate...

    Does ejaculating release more DHT into the bloodstream?

    I recently moved to China and I notice a lot of bald/severly balding men here in their early 20s. I think the biggest contributers are diet and pollution (the air quality here is awful). They fry almost everything and use a ton of cheap oil. Even guys in great shape speeding down busy roads on...

    Clever's Story (PICS!! / Jan 22)

    Re: Clever's Story (PICS!! / Nov 24) Yea so things are not looking good. I've since moved to China from NY. I have been on fincar from inhouse for the past 6 months and off kirkland minoxidil for the same amount of time. For the past 4 months or so I have had a chronic inflammation of my scalp. It...

    Is Fincar worth buying?

    I recently moved to China. Do you think I could buy finasteride from the pharmacy here? If they have it I probably wouldn't need a prescription with is nice since I don't have HI.

    Is Fincar worth buying?

    I've been using fincar from IP for nearly 6 months with no improvements. Anyone have success from fincar alone? I used minoxidil for only 4 months with good results but my face got bloated and skin looked awful so I stopped and am back to baseline.

    Masturbation and shedding

    I'm absolutely convinced there is a link between too much sex and hair loss. 1. I've actually noticed most male pornstars are losing their hair even the younger ones. Even the black guys which is rare to see a balding 30 something black man. 2. When I masturbate my scalp always starts to...

    Clever's Story (PICS!! / Jan 22)

    Re: Clever's story (pics nov24) lesson learned, don't stop your meds. I lost my job back in January (yay economy!) so after my meds and savings ran out I didn't restock. Lost a bit of ground but I've been back on fincar for about a week now and minoxidil for about a month. Hair overall is thicker...

    Mj9's Story - 4 YEAR UPDATE!!

    Re: Mj9's Story - 8 MONTH UPDATE Hey dude I'm interested to see where you're at too. I haven't been on here in a long time. I stopped taking taking my meds for a couple months and lost some ground as well luckily nowhere near baseline though.

    I think I'm about to lose a "friend" because of hairloss.

    Gee seems like this has turned into the let's attack clever thread. If you don't actually live in New York seriously just shut the f*** up right now. This is my city don't tell me what I can and can't do in it. If you do live here you should know better. Graffiti is part of this city and always...
