Does it matter if you use it on dry or wet hair? I have pretty long hair and I feel it will be easier if I apply to wet as most of the hair is stuck together so I can reach my scalp easier. *The Rogaine website suggests drying the hair and scalp but if you are going to apply to wet hair, then it says to at least towel dry it, btw I am using the foam.

I bought Revita since I can use it daily but I am considering buying some Niz as well since so many people seem to prefer it. Since I need to shampoo my hair daily, what shampoo+conditioner would everyone suggest I use with the Niz? Thnx all

any more opinions? please I need as many as I can get. Include everything from applying to wet or dry hair, how long to leave it on, etc. Thank you all

What the bloody hell was I thinking not starting something sooner. Its been about 1 month since I've really started to do something about my hair loss(shampooing daily, vitamins) and I only see at max 10-15 hairs in the shower and maybe 10-20 shed during the day. Before I would only shower every other day and each time I showered I would lose maybe 90-150 hairs each time and more along the day. I am surprised that my hair held up this well considering what I was doing. I am just pissed that I didn't react sooner. Maybe I could've lost even less hair. Anyway I just rambled, needed to get it off my chest.

Just wanted to say thanks again to all for their replies. By my estimates I should start my complete regimen by the end of the month(gives the injections time to settle down.) I got every supplement that has been shown to have some effect , I will start Rogaine in 2 weeks, got my Revita shampoo, and the laser should be coming in a couple of days. Hopefully I will continue to post with only positive results. Thanks again everyone.

Hey everyone, I will be starting my Rogaine treatment 2 weeks from now(asked the doc, he said that should be enough time post ACell/PrP injections). I would like opinions on the best way to apply it. Is the foam or solution better? What would be the best times to apply it? Offer as much detail as possible please. Thanks all.

do you use Revita everyday like it suggests? I need an everyday shampoo which is why I considered Revita over Nizoral.

Jobi would say Nizoral or Revita is the better option?

You could get every item they offer for much less on the internet. I went to have a consultation with them too. Buy some Revita or Nizoral shampoo, the dietary supplements they offer can be found at any walgreen, cvs, rite aid etc, and the minox they offer can be had as well for much cheaper(rogaine 6 month supply is like 100 dollars). So adding all of this tops will cost you 400 dollars a year which is a fifth of the EXT price.

Note: Also purchasing a HairMax LaserComb Advanced 7. I just wish I started all this treatment 2 years ago when my hair started to go. I was in denial but that didn't help. Oh well better late then never. PS: I think I will switch to Nu Hair Hair Regrowth System for Men 1 Kit - Swanson Health Products as my DHT inhibitor and supplement rather than use all the other stuff I listed.

Update on my situation: I got the injections and I will list what I am going to do now to aid them as much as I can: I purchased Revita shampoo. I was trying to decide b/t Revita and Nizoral but ended up going with Revita as it covers my DHT inhibiting and daily shampoo needs. I will be adding MSM, Saw Palmetto, and Beta-sitosterol to my supplements. I found this Buy Applied Nutrition Hair for Men, Tablets Online at drugstore.com which has all of the ingredients I want. What do you guys think, is it quality stuff? So far I haven't seen anyone on the forum use Saw or beta-sitosterol, is there a reason? Currently I am taking Finest Natural Hair, Skin & Nails Dietary Supplement Tablets | Walgreens as a supplement. What do you all think about the quality of this? Should I just purchase each one separately or just combine the stuff from the two links? Also I will be purchasing Rogaine 5% foam. I want to wait till about a month to start the Rogaine so I can give my scalp and the injection some time to recover. The doc took pictures before my procedure and I have my next follow-up 4 months from now. I will update with pictures as often as I can. Hopefully all the stuff I have tried will work and bring hope to everyone on the forum.

Thanks for the support guys, I truly appreciate it. I took the chance with the ACell/PrP injections and will wait it out to see if I get any positive response. I'll let everyone know how it turns out. He charged me 2k for it(gave me a small discount because I am a med student). If I see after the 4 month mark that it has no effect, I will start finasteride. The docs recommended that I start on finasteride as well. I will wait about a month before starting rogaine as I want my scalp to heal a little. With my concern about finasteride, there are just too many questions I have, some of which are if I start seeing side effects do I just power through them and hope my body adapts or stop as soon as I feel them? Or I may not see side effects for the first year and itll be fine and dandy but what if they crop up after a year use? Like I said I haven't completely given up the idea on it. Also I got revita as my shampoo which I plan on using daily. My goal is not to regrow hair, it is to maintain it as long as possible. I have a feeling that if I can maintain this hair till I'm 30 something will come out by then. If I lose more then I don't mind getting a transplant. Again thanks again for everyones input, I hope more people respond and offer ideas as I am willing to listen to anything

Im terrified because of the side effects. I would take it if I knew that the side effects would subside after stopping use but there has been many instances where the effects became permanent. Additional question is nizoral or revita the best option? I dont understand how revita can have the same ingredients and be a daily shampoo while nizoral can only be used twice a week.

Thnx for the replies. Like I said I am terrified of Finasteride. I just cannot will myself to take it. This is why I am doing the ACell/PrP injections instead. No one has made a comment on this, so I am curious what everyone thinks. So the vitamin B multivitamin I am taking has biotin in it as well. I might need to get some MSM and omega 3. I will be purchasing rogaine and nizoral soon. How about your opinions on my shampoo? Shall I keep using it or switch to a different one that does not have SLS? Please I need as many replies a possible. Thanks again.

Hello All, I am a 23 yo male with thinning hair on top and front. I hadn't really had a problem with my hair until about last year when I started to notice just how much it was thinning. My hairline is pretty decent right now. My main goal is to maintain my hair as much as possible and if I can thicken up the thin areas that would be great. Let me now mention what I am doing for my hair. Last month I went to see a doctor and he told me then I have a very oily scalp and obvious thinning hair. He recommended I shampoo everyday and use some sort of cleanser to get rid of the oil. I am using a Kerastase kit(shampoo, conditioners, anti-hair loss cream). I am shampooing everyday. Before the recommendation I would only shampoo 3-4 times a week. Also after considering all the non-surgical treatments I can do, I decided to get ACell/PrP injections from Dr. Hitzig(will get them on Jan 12). After having him look at my hair, he suggested this route, he said that it will thicken my weak areas. He also suggested I start Propecia but I am so scared that I really cannot bring myself to start it. I am also taking a complete vitamin B and zinc supplement. Now that I read through the forum a little I noticed that the shampoo that I am using has Sodium Lauryl Sulfate in it and many have advised not using a shampoo that has it. It has only been 2 weeks since I started it but I have yet to notice any detrimental effects on my hair. In fact as of right now it has made my hair look more lively. I have many questions which I hope all the members can assist me with so here goes: 1. I have looked into trying either Provillus or Procerin(I have not seen these mentioned in the forum) along with Nisim(also not mentioned) (shampoo, extract,conditioner) set. What are your opinions? 2. What additional supplements should I be taking? 3. Should I change my daily shampoo? If so to what? 4. What are your opinions on the ACell/PrP treatment? Thanks and I have links for pictures of my hair. If you guys need better pics to judge my hair let me know. These were all taken with flash or without in my room. (I've seen 3 doctors and none of them recommended transplant for me as of right now) http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7024/6676757645_bcd7f50103.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7142/6676757027_1ab30456af.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7150/6676756491_59745e26ef.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7016/6676755923_94b885babd.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7014/6676755103_eca17417df.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7009/6676754383_dc024458ca.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7018/6676752987_b72744b4a4.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7151/6676751837_d354652797.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7144/6676750939_ea59622ed9.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7009/6676750717_29c53c2735.jpg
