Oh, and to add a little fuel to this discussion: here are two pictures of my hair. The one with short hair is from October and the one with longer hair is from this month. My point is that pictures can be decieving - my hair is not as bad as the short hair picture and it is not as good as the...

I have a suggestion on how to settle this. GHG, you say you have an identical twin brother and that he keeps his hair long? Show a picture of him!

Again: I am not apposed to people treating their hair loss. I am just trying to figure out if it is healthy to obsess about with the kitchen sink approach when you have the mindset of "my life will be over if the treatments don't work!". Then you are really setting yourself up for clinical...

Just to add: I can see that someone with a nearly full head of hair could be happy with just popping a pill. That is if it is working and without side effects. But when you throw the kitchen sink at your shitty hair, using minoxidil, copper peptides and topical AA's with just maintenance as a...

Well, the difference is that when I'm brushing my teeth I usually don't check whether my cavities have reduced or gotten worse! And I sure as hell don't take pictures of my teeth every week and show them to people on the internet. The thing is that I have come to realize that most of the guys...

I AM one of the ones who can't accept baldness! But what choice do I have? I am sorry to say this, but you won't be able to beat balness either. I am sure you have the mindset of "I doesn't matter if I lose my hair when I am thirty!". But you will feel like sh*t when ever it happens. Hair...

So I am reading all these success stories of people going from half-bald or worse to nearly a full head of hair. They do so one regimes consisting of the big three, vitamins, RU, spironolactone, fluridil, etc. There is just one thing I can't understand: how the hell do people cope? Throwing the kitchen...

Did you go through a shed? How long did it take for you to notice new hair growth? Would you say that you have more hairs or that the foam mostly thickend up your existing hair? I seem to be ridiculously sensitive to minoxidil as I get really aged skin, wrinkles, black eyes and long hairs on my...

Unless finasteride caused hyper RA. Then you could get a really nice carpet on your body while the hair on your head came flying off. Or your body could react by massively upregulating your androgen receptors. That last bit is what always intrigues me. There was a study that showed that some...

Any hair growth on your boy? I seem to get these disgustingly long hairs on my arms as soon as I touch minoxidil. If I knew that I was going to be a great responder ot wouldn't bother me. But gaining no hair in exchange for looking like a werewolf on the rest of my body really doesn't seem worth it.

Hello! I am 29 and have been receding in my temple region for about 5-6 years. I have never treated it with anything other than Nizoral. In March I made the biggest mistake of my life. I started taking finasteride 1,25 mg in the hope of getting som thicker hair on my front. The result? I...
