This is what it says exactly: Wet hair thoroughly, apply shampoo, generously lather, rinse thoroughly. Repeat Nothing about leaving on your scalp for few minutes. My T/GEL shampoo, however, clearly says to leave on your hair and scalp few minutes before rinsing.

I'm using 1% nizoral shampoo. Based on the instruction on the bottle, it says to lather and rinse. I saw numerious times on this board that some people recommand leaving on your scalp few minutes before you rinse. Is that important for nizoral to be effective or follow the instruction on the...

I wasn't aware of the age between 23 and 55 theory. If someone younger than 23 starts to thin, then there is less chance it is male pattern baldness?

No - if you are not among 17% non responders (meaning you are the responder) you will maintain or improve. You have no choice but to try it if you want to find out if you are the responder to Propecia.

Interesting point. If that's true, shouldn't people getting treatment for male pattern baldness (minoxidil, propecia) also benefit from not using shampoo because it requires healthy scalp to grow hair. Or is that a moot point for people on nizoral since nizoral was supposed to improve scalp condition for that reason...

Is this guy saying that washing hair with only water will stop hairloss? That must be the cheapest treatment :)

Re: cutting proscar That web site says: "To increase absorption of Finasteride and help avoid any loss of that precious 1 - 1.25mg due to digestion; take Proscar on an empty stomach with a glass of grapefruit juice." I was taking it in the morning with breakfast. Now what... I thought...

Do you guys know where I can get a descent dropper that Rogaine once had. They now have this advanced applicator which I can't stand. Does anybody like this new stuff?

What's the purpose of lab blood test? Finasteride is not effective for people with certain testosterone level? My doctor just gave me the prescription - he didn't mention any blood test.

i went to see a dermatologist for propecia subscription. He advised against using proscar for now because he said i should try propecia for 6 months and if it seems to work then switch to proscar. he said if i used proscar for the first 6 months and if i see no improvement it will be hard to...

Saw Palmetto. gourmetstylewellness.com said this increases libido but if taken daily this can cause shed. I have no clue why. Mega Man Vitamins only has small dosage of SP so I don't think this can cause a problem. Just a guess - gourmetstylewellness.com should be able to explain this better.

gourmetstylewellness.com wrote: Propecia is NOT VERY EFFECTIVE in the prostate (go figure!) I thought Propecia has the same medicine as Proscar which is supposed to treat prostate. Are you saying that Propecia blocks both types of DHT found in prostate and scalp but SP only blocks the DHT found in prostate?

Thanks for the reply but i don't think i understand. shouldn't 2 shots of 50 proof whiskey make you same drunk as 1 shot 100 proof? i must be missing something...

i'm currently using nizoral 1%. This might be a stupid question but if i use twice as much would that be equivalent to using 2%? i know 2% is by prescription only but i'm not sure if i need 2%.

i know propecia is listed as one of the big 3. minoxidil for growth, nizoral for clean scalp, and propecia as dht inhibitor. my question is: if i use topical dht inhibitor (spironolactone for example) do i still need propecia? why do people recommands propecia as the one to use – is it because propecia...
