For the past 5 years I've been on the big three and nothing has improved for me. I've worn a hat home and away for the past 10 years plus so having something else on my head won't bother me. So I've been looking through this section of the messageboard and I can't see anything referring to UK...

I had really bad allergic reaction to liquid minoxidil and won't dare go near it again but this foam seems promising. Does anybody know if the foam would be easier for my scalp to absorb without any terrible reaction? Is there a list of ingredients available online? Thanks in Advance to the kind...

I have also experienced problems using minoxidil so I'm giving up on it for now. I used just 0.5ml on it once and had a blistering rash all over my scalp and forehead for a fortnight afterwards. I have sensitive skin at the best of times but a reaction like that surprised me. I'm using finasteride so at...

I have never read anything about finasteride stunting growth so I doubt it is possible. Are you assuming you should be taller because there is a slight difference between your final height and your brothers? Brothers don't always end up the same height. My brother is slightly over 6ft, I'm a little...

I'm taking generic Prosar and after cutting it into fifths I looked at those tiny little fragments and doubted they would have any effect at all. Well, from the second day onwards I haven't felt in the least bit.....well you know! I'm single so I see it as a blessing for now but I hope this...

I'd definitely take hair over libido every time. To a lot of us here I'm sure sex and hair go hand in hand. Most here probably aren't getting enough sex and blame the hair. I doubt the hair is entirely to blame. It's more likely a confidence thing. Ugly girls get sex right? It's the same for...

From what I've read on here most people don't bother with 2% at all and just go straight for the 5%. There are statisitcs somewhere on how much more effective 5% is over 2% that you can Google if you really need to see them before making a choice. HTH

Anyone that takes the time to checkout the dudes Norwood while watching p**rn has got to be totally obsessed with male pattern baldness! Get a grip man. ;-)

I tried something a bit like that myself to cut the cost and it had no good effect at all on me. If you're going to use these products it is best to use it as directed or not at all. At least you'll know for sure whether it works or not. If you use minoxidil for a year and it has a good impact...

I have shaved my head for the last 3 years but my head is a really bad shape so I hide it. I'm also really short (way under 5ft 5ins) and a shaven head isn't a good look when you're that small. I'm trying to gradually grow it slightly longer bit by bit and see which length is best for me. It's...

Your hair looks great. Is there anything that anybody here can say that will stop you getting so stressed over this? I'd kill for hair like that as would probably everybody else that writes here. I don't know how old you are but I very much doubt you are going to lose your hair at an...

I've been trying to think of jobs I can wear a hat in too for ages. It depends what skills you have, but any kind of manual labour, electrician, plumber, brick layer, er miner etc would surely allow you to wear a hat. Other than that you could consider self employment or some kind of internet...

I was self employed up until this time last year so I could wear what I wanted (which was the reason for going self employed in the first place) I've been off work for a year but I reckon I'm going to have to get another job within the next 6 months so judgement day is looming and frankly, I'm...

Has anybody here worn a hat in public constantly and then given it up? I'm approaching a time when I know I'm going to have to ditch the hat and I'm obviously not looking forward to it at all. I've worn hats for the last 4 years since I started cutting it really short and nobody (including...

The Hairloss centres I have tried have all been in London and all tried the hard sell on me. The first time I went I was a scared and naive 19 year old and the last thing I needed was a quick talking charismatic salesman trying to extract every penny he could from me. If you go to one, do so...
