Hey Just wondering about that issue. I've got pretty long hair, and when I take showers I'm beginning to examine the hairs that I lose. Anyway, sometimes I lose lots of long hairs, and sometimes I don't lose so many of them. But I ALWAYS lose quite a few short, thin hairs. In all...

It's not the Website I ordered from that I think did anything fishy. It just seemed to me that the box got ripped open at the border by, as someone suggested, customs officers. They took out the medicine (minoxidil) and re-taped it, and sent it on its way (as an empty box). I was under the...

Hi, I'm a Canadian resident who decided to buy a Rogaine 5% 4- Pack online. I sought out some recommendations for good websites from here and ultimately decided on ShopinPrivate.com. Anyway, I submitted my order (with credit card #) on December 23. As of this week it hadn't arrived- and I...

Hi I'm a 23 year old male who's been balding for, well, I don't know. I would say "forever" but that's a little misleading. You see, I was born with a massive amount of dark brown hair- everywhere (on my head). When I came out of the shower and had my hair dry, it looked like it had exploded...

I'm wondering about Nizoral too. I've been using it for 3 months and although the "primary objective" of relieving itch has been achieved, I've also noticed my balding has accelerated. I don't know if it's a shed or what, but I've never had less hair. I knew I was balding before and then this...

I just ordered from here. Hopefully I don't get scammed! :) *fingers crossed*

Yeah, AMS, I'm thinking blonde. You're right- my hair is also far lighter in my thinning areas too, drawing even more attention to the bald spot. I'm thinking blonde colouring would make the hair consistent (before the crown gets absolutely out of control) but having come from a relatively...

Hi I'm experiencing considerable thinning on my crown (among other place- but only noticeable on the crown) and I'm thinking that I probably have the worst hair colour for hair loss (it's darker brown but not quite DARK brown). Does anyone have an opinion on this? I think I may want to...

Thanks for the help guys, it was very informative. Much appreciated, Brian

Lord, I know I'm losing my hair. That's obviously why I'm here! Geez... It's so hard to get an answer to this question! I've been trying for months and haven't gotten a response. Maybe I'm not making myself clear here... this is not about whether Topper is balding or not... not about that at...

Thanks, Bombscience, but I had some other questions. Like, how do you know you're just shedding and not simply BALDING? Or, how long is the shedding cycle (one day, one week, one month, one season, etc.)??? These are questions for which I have never been supplied an answer. They're...

and not just BALDING? I keep reading about shed cycles on this site, but how do you know you're not just seeing an acceleration of the balding process? Is there a difference? Last question: how long are shedding cycles? I asked this question awhile ago but couldn't get a straight response...

Hi I live in Canada and have been on minoxidil 2% for about 20 months. I haven't tried Finasteride for various reasons. I want to try Rogaine 5% but here in Canada you need a prescription to get it and I really don't have the time or the energy to get one. Is there any way I could get the...

Thanks, Justin. No, I don't have a water softener. I live in the centre of my city so it never really occurred to me that I might need one. I guess the changes in the water may be producing the effect I'm seeing with my hair. I have also, on your suggestion, started to keep track of what I...

I think you may have missed the point (or the question): Sometimes my hair feels GREAT after Nizoral and sometimes it feels terrible (and sometimes it feels somewhere in between). How can this variability be explained?
