  1. Ah I've found a place that sells this, I was wondering if this stuff is quite sticky and clumps hair together? As my hair is quite thin, I'm worried that when I wash it out at night it will cause a more than usual shed?
  2. hi, yes ive heard they are very good but finding it difficult to find somewhere close to me that sell them... I wanted to get something before new years
  3. Hi all, merry Xmas to you all! Had a quick question regarding hair styling products for thinning hair.. My hair has thinned out quite considerably over the last few months and my hairline has receded a lot aswel.. I am not on meds and am slowly accepting that I will eventually lose my hair.... I don't usually use styling products, but thought I would go out with a bang! I would like some advice on some light products to use that give a decent hold with not too much shine! I live in London so would appreciate some info fro You fellow Londoners! Thanks in advance and happy new year in advance!
  4. i used rogaine for a while (3months), which didnt seem to be helping much - as i also heard it is not very effective on the hair line. With regards to Fin, i just dont feel psychologically prepared to take that everyday for years to come - on top of the fear of side effects.. i understand very well these are the only PROVEN methods, so i guess i will have to start preparing for life without hair
  5. Thanks, guys. I feel that tingling now and again and do sometimes feel like it is my imagination but not too sure Also my hairline has receded by quite alot towards my temples (about 9cm up) which only makes it feel like the top is thinning out more
  6. I get this really irritating feeling at the crown, sometimes a little tingling and burning only in the last week or so.
  7. Hi all, I have recently started to feel a slight tingling sensation on my crown for the past 2 weeks and I am not sure if i am thinning/developing a bald spot on my head or not. I would like some advice/opinions from you guys... I have MPB in my family and my hairline has receeded back in the last year or so. I am not on fin or minox Please let me know your thoughts... Thanks in advance. First photo about a month ago - other two just this morning..
  8. wow induce a shed? I have only been using it once at night for a month could i start by dropping it to every other day?
  9. Hi all, I apply regaine to my temples every night (For a month) , however i wanted to know if it was possible to also apply olive oil (or some sort of oil) to my scalp before bed also (maybe a couple of times a week)? If so how long after applying the regaine can i apply the oil to my hair? This is just to reduce dandruff and and cool down my scalp. Does anyone also do this and have had any problems with doing so? Lastly(Sorry!), does stopping regaine after just a months use cause much shedding? im finding it quite irritating on my scalp.and am thinking of dropping it.. Any thoughts much appreciated, Thanks
  10. I noticed my hair was receeding and I have been using alpecin double effect now for two weeks (alongside Regaine Foam for about a month applied in the temples), and have noticed that my hair feels extremely dry. My hair has become very thin in the front and it feels like it is grouping/bunching together in small groups (i hope that makes sense and the pictures should help i hope!). I was wondering if anyone else has had any experiences like this? In terms of shedding i dont seem to see VERY MUCH when drying the top of my head after a shower, however do see quite a few hairs in my hands especially when shampooing the temple region (likely due to Regaine I HOPE)... any feedback/suggestions would be very much appreciated, many thanks.
  11. really .......I have had a blood test to see if im lacking in anything that could cause serious thinning in the front but it came out clear... I think it is due to the use of regaine foam for about a month now, so im hoping it will be restored in the NEAR future as it is becoming a pain especially with the windy days in london these days I also have a question with regards to saw palmetto. Isit effective at combating any further fall of hair? I know it is not seen as a proven method, but i wanted to know if using it would cause any further complications/side effects as im getting quite varied responses on the internet.
  12. Thanks for your responses, you guys have reqally managed to clear up things i was sooo unsure about. I have attached an 'aerial view'....Are you able to distinguish anything from this? Hope its clear enough.. Also isit true that if you cut your hair short, the hair shredding can be reduced, as at the moment i keep quite a big fringe in the front! (or an old folks tale!)
  13. thanks again, I am hoping more to control any further receeding rather than regrowing in all honesty, as I think at the moment it is fairly manageable?? I will give nizoral a go maybe once/twice a week and hope for the best i suppose Also would it be safe to use alpecin double effect shampoo and nizoral alternatively? Propecia is also not known to be effective in the temple regions? however could it prevent/control any further shedding?
  14. thank you very much for your reply, My hair is fairly thick on top and on the back. Does Regaine tend to make your hair visibly thinner and so fragile that if u run your fingers through, one or two hairs come out? Sorry if im being questionative, i have been going out of my mind with this all of a sudden shred. Do you think it is a good idea to include Nizoral once or twice a week to relieve the itching, and also isit ok to use Regaine (5%) only once at night before bed? The reason i dont use it in the morning is that after I have washed my hair, I tend to just pat it done rather than briskly drying with the towel as I am too afraid of what il see in the sink if i do , And i have read that regaine should only be used on absolutely dry hair?
  15. Evening all, quite new to this and just wanted a few opinions on certain matters.. I am 23 years old and have been suffering from thinning in the temple region. (Heridetory) I started using regaine foam (just in temple area) for about a month now ,once at night before i go to bed, and have noticed my hair deteriorate at a terrible rate over the last two weeks. it seems to be very weak & limp, and comes out sometimes when i run my fingers through the effected temple area. and i am starting to see through my fringe i have been keeping to hide it is this something that tends to occur? I was using alpecin, however i was getting bad dandruff/dry skin - possibly from using the regaine hence i switched to Alpecin double effect about a week ago. I have pulled my hair back and took a few snaps below. I have been quite scared to use propecia, due to the side effects i hear aswel as the price and would like to avoid it if possible. I have been researching Nizoral and wanted to know if this can be used in conjuction to what i am currently using, as I sometimes feel a strange burn/tingly feeling on my scalp possibly from using any of the above? Any help much appreciated, Thanks.
