Please don't take this as a rude comment, but you should probably do a search through these forums before asking such a general question about such an old product. In my opinion, Nioxin shampoo is snake oil. There has NEVER been any research that indicates Nioxin is effective at preventing...

I don't see how it could POSSIBLY accelerate frontal balding.

Really? From what research are you basing this conclusion? Seriously, everything I have seen points to finasteride being a relatively safe drug.

This poll needs another option of "Yes, but they are not that bad" or something like that. Mine haven't subsided but they aren't that bad to begin with. Thus, I won't be voting.

Arguably, for the 17% who continued to lose hair, perhaps it would be worth it for them to continue taking finasteride, because they potentially lost hair AT A SLOWER RATE than without finasteride.

I absolutely agree.

I haven't noticed any improvement with my hairline, but I'll keep trying there.

I've been using the big three since November 1, 2006. Here is my regimen: (1) Proscar 1.25 mg every evening. (2) Every morning: 1mL Rogaine foam on my crown (3) Every evening: 1mL Kirkland minoxidil on my crown; 1mL on the top of my scalp; an additional 0.25mL or so along my hairline and over...

Does minoxidil increase shaft diameter or otherwise positively influence hair growth in scalp areas not affected by DHT (i.e., non-thinning areas)? For example, if I were to apply it to the side of my scalp, would those hairs increase in shaft diameter? Moreover, could I possibly see new hairs...

I started putting rogaine on the top of my scalp and along the hairline and temples. I started this about 2.5 months ago. I think I've grown some thin, but pigmented hairs that are located between the ends of my eyebrows and my temple hair. I am pretty sure they are new, because I've never...

Someone has to mention the dandruff and sometimes itchy scalp. However, it's certainly not a deal breaker for me.

I've used Nioxin shampoo for...about 8 years perhaps. I got into the scalp treatments, which encourage circulation, but not seriously enough to be considered a fair trial. Anyway, regarding the shampoo, I still trudged along and lost plenty of hair while using the shampoo for those 8 years...

As far as the chest pains go, I understand that to mean that you're having a potentially life-threatening side effect. I believe the vast majority of people do not have chest pains. Remember that minoxidil was originally developed to treat high blood pressure. Ergo, I am sure some people...

Could you perhaps link where you found this information?

Pill cutter. It's totally worth the few dollars.
