Hair Loss Treatment
I'm gonna get a little vulnerable here...
Okay well I'm not there yet, but I'm thinning...definitely "Stage 1", possibly even "Stage 2". I wanna get it before it gets me, so I'm starting to consider options. Have you or anyone you know had any kind of HLT done? What method? How long was treatment? What was the cost? What kind of results were achieved? Thanks guys! |
my understanding is ... that Rogain only treats the bald spot on the back of your head. It does nothing for the long forehead which most men seam to get in their 30s and 40s.
Sorry I don't know more. Good luck. |
I vote for a preemptive strike!
http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTI4OVgxNj...cRg~~60_57.JPG I used to have awesome long hair. Then I started fighting wildfire, and the first night I had to choose between standing for an hour in the grub line and standing for an hour in the shower line, I hacked it off. I haven't grown it out since. It's very liberating - once you go bald, you never go back. :) |

Havent paid for a haircut in over ten years. Well maintained haircuts are a pain in the ass anyways, and the ladies dont seem to like flowing locks quite like they did back in the '80s this is my backup plan: http://americas-best.com/graphics/pi...-bald-head.jpg |
Supposedly Nioxin used to be pretty good until it was bought out and the formula neutered. I can tell you the new version doesn't do anything.
I'd start with checking your nutrition and make sure you are getting what you need, vitamin wise. |
Propecia or Bosley Inst.
Vitamins/Rogaine are pretty much worthless for most with thinning hair.
Propecia appears to be the only medication you can take that addresses balding. If memory serves, it "stops" a certain testosterone from killing your hair follicles. It also appears to be beneficial to prostate health, HOWEVER, you need to tell your Doctor you are on it in case you have a blood test (yearly check up). They should observe a certain level (used to screen/detect prostate cancer) in the blood that can be observed as normal. IF you get PC, this level normally rises and alerts the physicians for additional testing (normally). Taking Propecia will "lower" this and potentially masks this level (I can't remember exactly what it's called, I'm too busy now, but I'll post if you want) if you are being screened for prostate cancer. Moral: If you get PC, Propecia can potentially mask it. OR when it get really bad (bald), you can elect surgery (Bosley). This can/will get expensive, but apparently is very good (can't notice it). |
Bald is cool. Don't sweat it.

I look like a derelict with my hair short lol
2-3 times a day I'm told I look like Jesse Pinkman...it'll be even closer of a resemblance if I shave it...then all my customers think I'm a junkie meth dealer named Cap'n Cook and nobody wants to deal with me and I go broke |
Man, just own it. I'm heading in that direction with a widow's peak...nothing to fix it unless I want to spend thousands. I still have mine about 1 1/2" on top, still looks "kept". A lot of times when people go through the process they look like they are trying too hard.
As long as you don't leave it like you just got out of bed, you wont look like Pinkman... |

I have been using propecia for 14 years and it works great. Will not correct receding hairline though I believe. Merck's patent just ran out last year so price went from $80 per month to $35 for generics. Insurance will not cover any of it.
