About 8 months ago I decided to do something about my crown - at the time it was about the size of a 50p coin, the hair around it was pretty thick but I figured that prevention was the best cure so went to belgravia centre. They sold me alzeic acid plus minoxidil (12.5%) after I said I didn't...

Only one week and 6 days 'til the answer?! To think that the day I've been waiting to come for the last 5 years is now so close - can't wait pal, seriously.

Am guessing from your question that you're not looking for something to actually thicken your hair, ie grow more, but something to give the cosmetic effect of thicker hair. I've been thinning in the crown for the past couple of years - quite noticeably over the last 6 months or so. Alongside...

I think it's important that i stress that, as I'm neither a woman nor wanting to become one, taking androcur is not on my list of potential hair remedies! However, applying TOPICAL cyproterone acetate, as I said in my first post, has apparently been very successful when combined with...

I guess the issue with topical cyproterone acetate then is not whether or not it will block DHT, which I assume it does, but how much will actually get absorbed into the system causing adverse side effects. As no-one here seems to have used it (topically) am guessing I'll just have to rely on...

I've been looking - a lot! Haven't found anything or anyone on the net suggesting that cyproterone acetate can be applied topically on male heads to counter male pattern baldness, however I do know that the belgravia centra of trichology website (a place in london whose opinions I didn't value) do combine 5%...

After a couple of free consultations with various "hair clinics" I just forked out to see a qualified trichologist (probably about 2 years too late, but what can you do). The end result of my 1.5 hr consultation was the suggestion that, as an alternative to propecia, I use a topical solution...

HH, Thanks for that. Am just really confused right now - went on xandrox for literally a couple of weeks 6 months ago and since then have seen my crown lose hair in a way that I never imagined possible a few months ago.... Now that I'm reavaluating everything and starting from scratch, I...

Hi all, Why does almost everyone seem to have minoxidil as part of their regimen? From what i understand it grows, at best, weak vellus hairs and stops working (even in terms of just "maintenance") after a couple of years at best. Around this time presumably people either keep using it, to no...
