I have medium brown hair. Diffuse thinning from my crown starting to reach down the top of my head towards the front. My question is if I shave it down will you be able to see the thinning better if I shave it down with 0 guard. I know if I buzz cut with a 2 or 3 guard it will be very...

My chiropracter who is also a genius when it comes to medications, vitamins, herbs, etc, told me if I start propecia he could probably couteract the sides with supplements that battle rising estrogen levels. What do you guys think? Is this possible? I trust him, but why hasn't anyone else...

Is there any reason for me not to start minoxidil? I've decided it's not worth it tinkering with the finasteride. Is it dumb for me to hope for some regrowth using minoxidil, Nioxin's 4 step process, and Nizoral 1% every 3 days? or is there a good chance it could work. I just don't want to speed the hair...

So is it rediculous to think that the 4 step Nioxin process and Nizoral shampoo will save my hair. I don't think I'm going to go with propecia. Just too worried about the sides and my hair isn't worth risking that stuff to me.

Ok, what's the average case scenario for each: Nizoral? Slow down thinning? Stop thinning? minoxidil? Slow down thinning? Grow new hair? Can I expect much from from using just Nizoral 1% and minoxidil? finasteride? slow down or stop thinning? Maybe regrow? Probably some mild side effects?

Thanks for the input guys...still a little confused, but thankyou. My girlfriend says I shouldn't do anything. She says thinning hair is no big deal and if it gets really bad to just shave it. She says she will still be attracted to me, but I worry about it alot. I've heard girls say they...

Well yeah, that brings up another point...i love to work out and being in shape is at least one thing I'd like to keep even if my hair goes. I really don't want gyno or belly fat from the finasteride that I've been hearing. Here's a question: If I take finasteride and notice side effects say within the...

My hairline is good right now...should I be worried about finasteride destroying my hairline? How long do I have before it is really noticable? 1 year? What about Dr. Proctor's products? Do they cause a shed too?

Dry you can't really tell I'm thinning. Is there anything out there proven effective to maintain (not regrow) your hair besides finasteride and minoxidil. I really don't want to go through some massive shed. PS. Would it be less noticeable or more noticable if I shaved my head with no guard?

I'm 30. No thinning in the front yet. I just got back from the doctor and he wasn't much help. He said he's never heard of anyone having any side effects from finasteride. He suggested Rogaine and finasteride. He's never heard of gyno, brain fog, ed, any other side effect. He never even heard of spironolactone or...

Noticed thinning around April. Took some pictures and started growing my hair out to cover it. It looks much better but my thinning continues. I've been using Nioxin's 3 part system and don't think it's really doing much but it is a nice shampoo. What do you guys recommend?I'm kind of...

Somebody suggested using Nizoral Shampoo and Propecia? What do you guys think? Should I cut the propecia in half or forths to lessen side effects? Does knock off finasteride work just as good? Is it expensive? Where do I get this stuff?

Leaves it feeling really good, just don't know if it's really working. The lady at the salon swears on it and she is very popular around town.

I'm 30 years old. Noticed some thinning on my crown around april. Don't really see it except for when my hair is wet. I called a salon and a lady said she would put her 30 year reputation on the line for Nioxin shampoo and scalp treatment to slow down thinning hair. I tried it along with...

I read in a post about a Revivogen study that proved it's effectiveness. Does anyone know where I can read up on this study? or the anyone know first hand on the effectiveness of this product?
