    Just got a consultation & quote, is this reasonable?

    Yo, you are good! What surgeons did you go to get estimates from? Seriously....from your pictures, you seem to be African-American, is that correct? The reason I ask is because if so, I am too and I went to reputable surgeons for consultations; point being, I am in worse shape than you are...

    Minoxidil.com hacked

    Wow, I think I am a hapless victim as well; this is the only site that I have divulged my credit card info to, I was very leery about ordering stuff online initially anyway. Well my wife went to my ATM last week and saw that I only had $ 4 in my checking account :sobbing: ! Apparently someone...

    I'm a newb

    Man, I would not do Bosley, nor would I go with Hair Club for Men; what I learned immediately after researching hair loss is that you want to go with IAHRS (dunno if it is right acronym) approved surgeons....and exactly who you need to go with is contingent upon what your concerns are......I...

    Some of them look okay.....

    The general perspective with regard to the quality of most hair transplants seem to have went from slightly optimistic to a downright despondent attitude towards them. I guess this moreso applies to people with extensive hairloss getting transplants.... Anyway, I was looking at Dr. John P...

    Vitamins that promote healthy hair....

    I know this has probably been asked before, but what are the best vitamins one can use to promote healthy hair and/or help you to maintain? I am currently on finasteride and don't plan on replacing that with a vitamin by far, just want a vitamin to take in addition to finasteride to promote...

    African-American hair transplants....

    Thanks for replying s.a.f.....A hair transplant doctor told me that I have could hair characteristics, meaning it's curly, which makes it look thick even when it's not.....and that we tend to have could hair...skin color contrast? The only other good thing could be pale skin and light colored...

    Can i apply foam with toppik on head

    Why don't you just wash it once at night, right before you apply the foam?; I don't know about washing your hair everytime in preparation for applying the foam, I doubt too many guys find the time to do that, maybe I'm wrong..... Rassman talks about toppik and rogaine application on his...

    African-American hair transplants....

    Okay so I haven't been feeling too well today and just replied to a bunch of posts cuz I guess it's cathartic for me in a sense, anyway; plus I can really sympathize with anyone who takes this crap as hard as I do, although I still am blessed in many ways, I can concede to that..... I barely...

    Guitar66's Story - ( 24 / Diffuse thinning on top)

    Hey man, how is your hair doing now? I think it sucks that you have Hashimoto's disease, but then again, that is probably exacerbating your hairloss and getting that under control might alleviate it and make you hair better.....sh*t, more importantly how are you doing with Treating the thyroid...

    Is it strange to lose hair here??

    :dunno: ....maybe you are obsessing too much with the rubbing and running your hands through your hair and actually causing the hair to fall out on your own....is the hair in that area less dense-looking? If not why are you worried...you said your hairline and crown are good (male pattern baldness areas :woot...

    How much better could solutions to hair loss be in 10 years?

    :agree: Even though that is a very bleak picture, I think that those are the most realistic speculations/expectations that I have read as opposed to the "so-and-so treatment to cure baldness in 5 years or less!....blah,blah,blah...." If only I would've been born in 2020? sh*t. :(

    Re: Fireman's Story - (21 yr old NW7 destined) Update 5/3/09 Also, when I referred to "shed", I was alluding to hairs that visibly disappeared from my scalp, not shitty hairs on my laptop screen, shower drain, pillow case, etc......As you probably have read from others, everyone, even people...

    Re: Fireman's Story - (21 yr old NW7 destined) Update 5/3/09 Although you said that your hair is a little longer now and pictures can sometimes be deceiving as real life, in person might tell an entirely different story, to me it looks like it has improved...maybe no regrowth but the existing...
