    CHI 44 Ionic Power Plus

    This shampoo claims to help thicken hair... my barber gave me some to try, like the way it feels/smells and tends to alleviate some itch. Any research out there on if it is effective? I'm looking for a shampoo I can use aside from the Nizoral 2x a week that won't dry out my scalp. The...

    Hair Loss and Pro-Testosterone Formulas

    I've been on propecia for 2 years now with great results. I am also an athlete and gym buff, and was wondering about taking natural pro-testosterone formulas and their effect on balding. Would taking these suppliments (such as Tribulus Terrestris, Vitex agnus castus, etc) counteract the good...

    Still, Itching

    American Crew? Thanks for the help guys - I will definately try the American Crew stuff. I am using Rogaine (brand name). I didn't realize there was a difference in minoxidil... should I try something else? To answer the hard water question - water is "hard" when there are substantial calcium...

    Still, Itching

During my first post, I was using nizoral 2x a week and T-gel 3x a week. Many of you suggested this could lead to overdrying, so I cut down to nizoral 1-2x a week and...

    need advice badly

    Stay on... I recommend staying on propecia and minoxidil. starting earlier is always better in the long run, even though you may have some bad sheds along the way... Starting and stopping regs will only slow you down.

    Xango?

    Hello All, On month 5 of gourmetstylewellness.com and doing well... so far no miraculous improvements but I caught things early and hopefully have stabilized my loss.

    Using minoxidil just once a day?

    Hey, Just started using Propecia about 2.4 months ago and Rogain 5% a few weeks ago. I have curly hair and the rogain really makes my hair look like crap, so I'm thinking its not worth doing in the morning for the rest of my life. Has anyone had success using the product just in the...
