  1. hello everyone, I just found this post. I been using Rogaine Foam for 2 weeks now and I love how easy it is to use. I hated the liquid Rogaine cause it makes your thin hair more noticable. It leaves a shinny greasy look to your head. I feel and do see that its working, so I hope to get my hair back. HT is my last resort to my problems. Try using just 2 fingers, so you don't waste it when rubbing it on your scalp.

    It's recommended to take Propecia a full year to see how it helps you. This recommendation has nothing to do with hair transplant surgery, but is a recommendation by the drug company itself. That said, if you can wait a full year to see if Propecia improves your hair before proceeding, in my opinion, it would be in your best interest.

     

    Thanks. I was wondering if hair got thinker and fuller after 12 months do you stop or keep taking propecia?

  3. Its weird,but a good thing I guess. I get zits on my my head and not on my face. I always had oily hair when younger and still do with hair I have. I think where it's thin not enough hair is taking in the natural oils, so its just sitting on the scalp. One day I use my nephew's face wash on my face and I love the tingling feelings on my face. So I tried it on my head and leaves a great feeling on your face and scalp, like a cool mint breeze on your head from different angles.

    I think cause my scalp is clogged or a some dirt from sweating and hair oil. I went and got a face wash and rub it on all over my head. Since then no zits on the scalp, so I was thinking of trying this. I haven't been using shampoo for like over a month, wash my head with NEW CLEAN AND CLEAR, DEEP ACTION EXFOLIATING SCRUB(cool, refreshing, tingle)

    then I put Rogaine Foam after. Since then I've seen hair starts to grow and filling in with new hair. It's hard to covince myself, so I ask my girl to look at it and she said your hair is getting thicker.

     

    I use the face wash twice cause I want to make sure I get the scalp clean and plus it foams alot more the second time. Then Rogaine foam after. I do this morning and before bedtime.

  5. I got 30 pills for $85, thats cheap!!!! Its funny, but still sucks having to go public with it. I just wish you can get it when you go to your doctor.

     

     

    My script was for 90 pills at $60.00. It told her that was ok and I didn't expect the insurance to pay for it and I was happy to pay. Now the beastly, female pharmacist chimes in and goes, "are you going to be splitting these?" and it's obvious that she knows why I want them and doesn't seem to be happy about it. She then asks me if I understand "what my doctor is trying to do." All in all, a very uncomfortable experience but, hey, I got a year's worth of pills so I don't have to do it again for a while.

  6. What you just said is sometime,I say it to my girlfriend.

    when told him about my hair situations, he just looked at it from a distance. I thought he gonna look at my scalp or touch it,something to be called a doctor. Whats confusing is that I don't know if I have MPB cause no one in the family thin like me and if its stress or not dieting right then wouldn't it grow back???????? Cause I thought or at least I thought it was stress and not dieting right, but til this day it hasn't thicking up????? The time I was starting to shed, I was in some stress and taking Hydroxycut and made me drop wieght like crazy. I would force myself to eat cause of not being hungry and when I eat food just taste like nothing or sometime skip a meal and go to the gym.

     

    So I still don't know what to ask the doctor? Right now just taking propecia that he discribe me and rogaine foam.

    Sometimes stress, poor nutrition or certain skin conditions will cause temporary hair loss. The dermatologist should be able to ascertain some of these factors.

     

    MPB usually follows certain patters of loss (thinning in the crown, receding hairline, loss behind the frontal forelock, or diffuse thinning from the front to the back of the top of the head.......or any combination of the above)

     

    MPB will normally not affect the hair you see left in say, a NW 7, the "ring of hair". If you have thinning in this area, then something other than MPB is probably going on.

     

    Alopecia areata (I think that's what it's called) will cause hair to fall out in patches, then grow back some time later at random intervals, I think this also involves eyebrows and body hair too. So if you've got some thinning eyebrow/chest hair, etc. action going on, that may be the case.

  7. When I went to seen my doctor for the first time. Waiting for him lasted longer then actually talking about my problems with him. I thought I ask the right questions and told told hime situation, How no guys in my family has MPB. I told him all my brother from 35-56 and my dad at 80, still has his hair. So what the hell!!! he said sometime genes don't mix well together can cause this and not necessary has to be either side of the parents. How do you know if its a MPB? I have an appointment with him a month. What questions should I ask??
