    Caboki attempt incl. pictures

    Well they say it is, but to me it seems like a powder that I put on my head without any attractive force towards my natural hair.

    Is this hairline receding? Or is it my natural hairline?

    On the pictures it looks like it's slightly receding. Can't tell for sure though, you need to compare it to pictures from a couple of years. I'd call it a Norwood 2.

    First time Minoxidil (Rogaine) user here with a Question

    Hi HairLoss916, the 5% minoxidil is fine. Many people mix it with vodka so they have a 2.5% solution, which should be enough as well. The amount you use is sufficient. Can't tell you though if the foam is inferior/superior to the liquid, haven't seen a study on that one (and also can't remember...

    Any success adding 0.5mg Dutasteride to 1.25mg Finasteride?

    Found this study here. Though they use 0.5 mg of dutasteride without any finasteride. EDIT: Combination of finasteride and dutasteride. Sorry no full article available for free...

    Manfreddi's story

    Just apply the rogaine when you come back from work/college/school, and then again right before you go to bed (as it only requires 4 hrs in between the applications). You can split the propecia in half and only take 0.5 mg, which saves you money. You can also order proscar and cut the 5 mg...

    Is 1mg Minoxidil (rogaine) enough for whole head? Damp or Dry?

    Hi coconuts, just use enough minoxidil solution so all the bald/balding spots are covered. If you need more than 1ml for that, use more. If you need less, I'd still recommend using 1 ml and NOT less. But that's just my personal opinion. I haven't read any study/article on the effectiveness...

    Truth about propecia/ finasteride reducing libido?

    Well, on the one hand http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23193746 ("There was no sexual side effect.") On the other hand http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20956649 and http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21418145 about (permanent) sexual side effects. You may want to read through this...

    What Shall I do? [Minoxidil etc?)

    Well, on the one hand there are scientific studies, i.e. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15316165 (it says in 52 % of the minoxidil-only users they encountered an INCREASE in hair count). On the other hand there are other cases here in the forum, i.e...

    Manfreddi's story

    Hi Malin, I think you status improved from the December to the March photos. Because the process of hair restoration takes long, you shouldn't be expecting any results before 6 months of having been using minoxidil. Btw, to respond to your first post, weightlifting itself doesn't have an effect...

    What Shall I do? [Minoxidil etc?)

    I have pretty much the same history as you do. I used to use Minoxidil a couple of years ago, then stopped, then started using it again in November 2012. With minoxidil, I'm sure you will be able to hold your current status. You said you were worried about the side effects of Finasteride...

    How short can a full cap for men be cut?

    Hi vedderdard, I hope I'm getting your question right: I have my hair cut short to 6 mm every 2 weeks. I'm thinking about having it cut to 3 mm in the summer after the next semester. Bts my status is Norwood 4/5 (21 yrs). EDIT: Nevermind, didn't know your were talking about a wig.

    Minoxidil twice a day

    Hi Wysc, I wash my hair with shampoo every morning. After college at around 5 pm I apply the first dose of minoxidil, and just before I go to bed I apply the second dose. I cannot recommend using minoxidil after showering in the morning because it makes my hair look greasy (even though it's cut...
