How would cetrizine help my hair though? I live and eat fairly healthily.

Upregulation shouldn't be happening overnight though.

I could understand that, except, my hair definitely didn't decline the last few years. Six months ago, max 1 year ago, it literally was the thickest it has ever been. I still checked it regularly and in the last few years it only got better. The cutoff I see now is very hard to explain...

So I (M33) have been on hair loss medications for over a decade. As the title says: almost 12 years ago I started 5% topical minoxidil (once a day) and almost 11 years ago I started 1mg finasteride (once a day). I never had serious sides and hair loss was a worry of the past. I do remember that...

Hi Noah, I'm currently based in Belgium. I often wonder whether I should just choose a hair piece and be done with all the trouble surrounding the "trying to save the hair that I have left". I always get discouraged though, because there is so much information available, but a lot still isn't...

Thank you, Left4bald! So apparently the source for forsythoside B is (the fruits of) the forsythia suspensa plant. So we might give that, topically, a shot? https://www.amazon.com/Forsythia-Extract-Suspensa-Tincture-Supplement/dp/B00LC62J7S?th=1

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/31152005 Abstract: "Hair growth starts from hair follicles that reside in dermis, and abnormal hair growth is an early sign of hair follicle disease or systemic illness such as alopecia or hair loss. Therefore, identifying a target critical for...

Kudos to him. Kinda ridiculous tho how Conan claims not to know what finasteride is. Sure he knows.

What does this mean? Are you losing hair in the crown area or not? Truth be told, crown looks entirely normal.

I agree with the funded studies, though I couldn't find anything about this particular product funding studies. That being said, hirsutism in women is caused by too much androgens. So apparently it has some potential as an anti-androgen, hence an Androgenetic Alopecia beneficial component.

Looks gooood!

Do you have to wash you hair before applying minoxidil when using styling aids? E.g. if I apply wax in the morning, do I have to wash it out in the evening before applying minoxidil?

That's amazing, thanks! Didn't anyone ever try it? This study seems so promising.

Recently my eye fell on this study with remarkable results: Not a gigantic group of participants, but noteworthy nonetheless. Does anyone have any clue which product this is? Study: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.3109/09546639609086878?journalCode=ijdt20

The study is probably flawed as there were only 9 participants involved, but still. Individual hair diameter would seem to improve by 7% (I don't know how visible this would be?), but more importantly and I quote: What does this mean? Is applying mechanical force to our scalp probably worth...
