    Need urgent help with my flakey scalp

    Hi all, For the past 3 months, I have been suffering with a flakey scalp (or dandruff, but I doubt it is this simple). I have tried everything to get rid of it - I use Nizoral usually 3 times a week, which has not done anything to help. I then started to use Head and Shoulders EVERYDAY for a...

    Diffusing thinners and extent of balding

    I am a diffusing thinner. I have noticed the distinction between my thinning hair and my DHT-resistant hair is very clear. My hair does not gradually get thinner, it just instantly becomes thinner. I thought about this for a bit and wanted to know whether this indicates the extent of my future...

    Boar Bristle Brush & Hair Regrowth

    It definitely doesn't hurt to use a boar bristle brush. I read up about it and have observed the results myself. It does massage the scalp very well, and once you have finished, you see that your hairy is shiny, which is a result of the bristles removing the build up of oils at the base of a...

    Boar Bristle Brush & Hair Regrowth

    Been using the brush since February, along with other things. I can't say too much about the hair growth, but it feels good to brush your hair with it. It feels nice on the scalp. Also, in general, it is great for brushing your hair forward (if you are a diffuse thinner like me) because it does...

    DHT in men without male pattern baldness?

    Thanks for the comments guys. Bryan, what reduces Type 1 enzyme? I think I heard adovart reduces both types, but I am not sure I want to try it given its not FDA approved. Is this type 1 enzyme an important factor in hair loss too?

    DHT in men without male pattern baldness?

    I had a few questions for the more knowledgeable members of the forum with regards to finasteride. Do men without male pattern baldness have low levels of DHT or no DHT whatsoever being produced in their system (or is it a combination)? I wonder this, because I was on a dosage of 1.25mg finasteride a day. It stopped me losing...

    Important Question About Proscar

    I had the same effects while on the 1.25mg dossage, so i stopped and things have returned to normal. Now considering returning to finasteride, but contemplated the problem of cutting a proscar pill into smaller pieces. Decided to order generic propecia, so I can cut them in half (0.5mg) and...

    considering going on provillus

    I am not an expert, but this is what I gather about regrowth of hair and oral supplements. I think oral supplements are mainly for the purpose of blocking DHT I (like Saw Palmetto, Propecia) from going to the hair follicles, and perhaps providing nutrients for healthy hair. Propecia is...

    Folligen or Tricomin???

    I just started using Tricomin at nights, followed a bit of Emu oil mixed with some other oils such as Lavender, Tea Tree, Rosemary and liquid Saw Palmetto . Haven't used it long enough to make any conclusions yet, but I feel positive about the chances of growth. From research, both Tricomin...

    considering going on provillus

    I posted on my experience from Provillus here a couple of weeks ago, here is the link http://www.gourmetstylewellness.com/interact/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=52324 I don't doubt that it has some ingredients that promote hair growth, but the product is simply over-priced, over-hyped and has little evidence...

    Is it potentially bad for hair to have it cut too much?

    Cutting your hair often can have a slight thickening effect. Consider the growth of a new single hair. It initially starts thin, but as it grows, its body becomes thicker and thicker further down the shaft. Now if you cut that hair halfway down the shaft, the thin tip of the hair is off and the...

    Buzz cut question

    I used it for around 3 years, but stopped after I experienced some problems such as reduced libido, etc. And I am only young (24). Though I am told the side-effects were most likely psychological, I've become a bit sceptical about finasteride. I am sure it stops the body producing DHT, but I am...

    Buzz cut question

    I have diffused loss. I was also hesitant to do it at first, but I was just so fed up with applying topicals to my scalp with long thin hair in the way. You should just give it a go, buzz your hair the longest you can (I did a 6, which is 1 inch) and it shouldn't be too bad. Even though I've...

    Buzz cut question

    I just buzzed my hair and must say, I am quite suprised. I didn't want it too short, so I went for a 6 all over, which is about an inch. It suprisingly doesn't look too bad. It makes it easier to pull in concealer such as toppik or nanogen. Also, it makes it easier to put in rogaine, etc etc. I...
