Why only a couple of times a week?
I'm planing it to use everyday.
Do you mix it with water - a couple of drops of Hair Signals + some water then apply it on your scalp?

The two items to the left are the solution. The small bottle is the spray and the larger bottle is the refill.
The item to the right is the cream. That order cost me $60 if I remember right.

Aromatase is the enzyme that converts testosterone to estrogen. Estrogen protects hair follicles from androgens and is thought to have hair growth promoting effects seperate from its androgen protecting properties.
This thread http://www.hairlosshelp.com/FORUMS/mess ... ord1=CYP19 talks about the importance of aromatase in determining hair loss patterns.

High levels of DHT are also associated with enlargement of the prostate gland (benign prostate hyperplasia, BPH), so its not surprising that natural treatments for BPH are also showing promise for treating male pattern baldness. In a controlled study, 19 men aged 23 to 64 with mild to moderate hair loss took either a placebo or a supplement containing 400 mg of a standardised extract of the herb saw palmetto (Serenoa repens) and 100 mg of the plant sterol beta-sitosterol. Both have been shown to effectively reduce levels of DHT.
After five months, hair growth had significantly improved in an impressive 60 per cent of men taking the supplement, but only in 11 per cent of those given the placebo (J Alt Complement Med 2002; 8: 143-152). Whats more, both saw palmetto and beta-sitosterol are very safe and virtually free from side-effects (the only one being occasional mild stomach upset).
Although the findings of this small study can not be taken as conclusive, they are sufficiently encouraging to suggest that saw palmetto and beta-sitosterol should be the first option for men with mild to moderate hair loss who do not want to risk the problems associated with conventional drugs. Take 200 mg of saw palmetto extract and 100 mg of beta-sitosterol, twice a day.
