I don't think 25 hairs lost during a scalp massage is bad at all.

It's extremely important to use sunscreen when using Retin-A. I felt like that should be mentioned here.

That doesn't even count as "shedding," in my opinion. People with absolutely no hair loss lose twice as much hair as you everyday and have completely full heads of hair. Doesn't sound like your continued thinning is the result of shedding. If you're continuing to lose hair, and you're only...

No shampoo, conditioner or styling product can regrow hair. If you are already using castor oil topically I would also recommend taking it orally, I think it works best used both ways (if it works.) Might as well cover your bases since you already own it. But not all castor oil are the same, so...

It doesn't address the cause of hair loss. It can regrow hair and reverse hair loss but not permanently. The balding process is still occuring regardless of treatment with minoxidil. I don't know why you act like you don't know this or what I'm saying is unheard of. I also didn't call minoxidil...

Isotretinoin can cause permanent hair loss, according to some sources. Tretinoin is unlikely to, in my opinion, although there was that one study.

How long have you been on it? How long until you stopped shedding/started seeing results?

I actually think about using a glove sometimes, just to limit systemic absorption even more. I already wash my hands thoroughly afterwards and sleep with a shower cap on.

I'm really interested in this as well, any experience reports would be greatly appreciated.

Minoxidil, especially the 5% works, in some cases very effectively, to the point of almost complete reversal of hair loss. This has been demonstrated over and over again. It does not work for everyone, though, and it doesn't stop the fundamental balding process. It is often described as a "band...

At some point during our evolution baldness was selected for. Bald individuals existed due to mutation changes, and natural selection selected for baldness, most likely because those bald individuals had a higher degree of reproductive fitness (more offspring,) unrelated to their lack of hair...

I love Pura D'or. As others have said I'm sure it won't stop hair loss or regrow hair, but I like the way it makes my hair look and feel. It seems to thicken it (cosmetically.) I also love the way it smells.

http://www.prevention.com/beauty/supplements-reverse-thinning-hair I actually did try Hair Maxx. Didn't think it was any better than the generic Biotin I'm taking now. Thought you might be interested in the link I provided. I really don't think its going to arrest your hair loss or regrow...

I think this is a pretty legitimate question, but in the case of birth control you're not completely shutting down the production of a specific hormone, as is pretty much the case with finestaride. Birth control pills contain hormones that women produce naturally (usually estradiol and a...

2% Nizoral makes me shed excessively and makes my hair look horrible. Lots of people have the same experience. You can try it though, especially if you have any kind of scalp irritation/dermatitis. If you have had a good experience with liquid minoxidil and are concerned about the cost of...
