I once read a post where Dr. Lee said that you could wash your hair 1 hour after applying spironolactone.

You can tell by looking at his hairline - The hair looks like it's been place in clumps/plugs as opposed to how hair would naturally look. One thing that I wonder is how noticable this really is. A lot of us on the forum can spot a bad transplant very easily, but essentially we are experts in...

Take pics now and keep an eye on it if you're concerned, but don't let it consume you. I'm willing to bet that if we saw your pics people would think you don't have any significant hairloss. However, to give you my feedback, I've always thinned unevenly with my left temple being about a 6-12...

What is your treatment and how long has it been? Hair loss during treatment can be a good sign and also a sign that it isn't working. That's why the time frame is important.

I can't afford it anymore. I've been using it for 8 months now and I've been really happy with it, as it's held the line on my hair loss, but the stuff is expensive. I have a 1.5 months supply left and I've decided to sell it to free up some cash for holiday purchases so I figured I'd offer it...

Sorry to hear about your loss. For me, tragedy in my life has had a somewhat different effect. First it tends to take my mind off the hair problem for a while, and second, it's made me realize that hair isn't the most important thing in life. Don't get me wrong, I really want me hair back...

Hair always looks thinner under natural light. Remember you might not like what you see, but even people with thick hair will show scalp under scrutinizing light.

The hole issue of not using Rogaine on your temples is not related to the fact that it doesn't have the potential to work. The reason they say it is for the crown is because that's where it was tested in clinical trials. I have read stories where people claim that their hair has thinned in the...

I know I'm not answering your question, but what do you consider big time shedding in the shower? You've been on the stuff for such a short time, have some patience. From what I've read the MAX time a should should last is 90 days.

Very interesting, I think I might give it a shot with a reduced dosage at first. Now I just need to find a supplier that will ship to Canada. I wish I could convince my doctor to prescribe Avodart but I think that's a long shot.

Thanks for the feedback. Anybody else have any experience with dutasteride after using finasteride for a decent (greater than 6 months) of time? Is your dose of dutasteride 0.5 mg?

Hi Guys, I've been taking finasteride for over 5 years now and although it seemed to work well, my hair has been in a downward spiral for the last year or so. My question is, has anyone taken finasteride for years, seen results, and then when finasteride appeared to lose it's effectiveness switched to dutasteride? Was the...

Thanks traxdata, I definitely make it as cool as possible. Does anybody else have any comments?

I have an interesting regimen where I apply minoxidil in the morning (Dr. Lee's quick dry) and let it dry for 30 mins. My hair is thin so with the exception of a slight sticky feel, it feels dry to the touch in about 15 mins. Then I lightly blow dry my hair for a few minutes to make sure the scalp...

Thanks Cassin, and I have touched some other stuff such as Kirklands. Now that is greasy stuff! It seems that my scalp can take just about anything so I was wondering if Dr. Lees formulation that doesn't have any PPG would leave less of a reside. The other thing I've noticed is that...
