Red Rose said:Socks if I remember correctly from HLH zix was the one thing from your regimen that you attributed most towards your healthy scalp...but do you think it had any affect in thickening your hair?
GourmetStyleWellness said:That is quite arguably the thickest head of hair I have ever seen. Socks, could you please post some "before" photos of when it was thinning so we can do an accurate comparison?
As someone mentioned above, without before photos, the after ones don't mean much. I've seen guys post here with absolute full heads of hair and zero diffuse thinning who swear they've lost "40%" of their hair (their words). The minds eye is incredibly powerful.
I too am working to keep a full head of hair, but my photos do show some actual diffuse thinning. I am interested in seeing the photos of your hair at its thinnest.

I remeber the first 3 years of my hairloss people telling me I'm crazy and I'm not losing my hair even though I knew it was happening. It was also diffuse thinning. Unfortunately I didn't seriously start doing anything about it until year 10.
finasteride has and is working for me now. However if finasteride was available and I used it within those first three years when it wasn't really noticeable I feel my results would have been much better.
Diffuse thinning isn't like getting a mature hairline. YOU KNOW for sure that your losing it even when your friends and family say your not.
I'm glad things worked out for you Socks.
Quick questions.....It seems there is no vehicle for Zix, just distilled water, which doesn't penetrate the scalp. Is it supposed to piggy-back on the alcohol in minoxidil?
Isn't the alcohol in minoxidil already saturated?
