There’s no difference in the lighting that’s why I made this video. There’s only one light in that bathroom. 

 

There is obvious lighting difference not just by looking at the neck but the color from th design on the wall is brighter in the before picture. Not saying you’re manipulating the pics but the lighting is different. Although I do still see really good improvements.

Talk your Dr about an oral dose of 0.5mg Dutasteride maybe once or twice a week. You can even take it daily if you don't get side effects. That will prevent your high T from being converted into DHT (what really causes hair loss)

Got it thanks. She just prescribed me oral finasteride like a few days ago, hopefully she won’t make me wait for those pills to be finish before she can prescribe me oral dustasteride.

Kaiser is a pain. They don’t want to retest my levels because hair loss isn’t medical. I may just have to pay out of pocket 😔

Got it. Well I got my testosterone levels results and it was 1043ng/dl. The normal range is between 240-871 so I’m extremely high in testosterone. I Heard high T can cause hair loss. I emailed my doctor my concern and waiting for a response. What are some was to reduce my testosterone either b medicine naturally ?

No sides at all. I’ve bumped up to using it daily. 

Is it ok to take oral fin daily along with Xyon dustasteride ?

use in the evening, wash out in the morning, its that simple. why is everyone making a mountain out of a mole hill when it comes to minoxidil 

Because of the product buildup can prevent hair regrowth.  So how long you think i should wait in between washes ?

You don't have to wash your hair everyday with shampoo. I used topical minoxidil for a while and in the morning I would just wash it out in the shower.

Wash it out meaning just with water and not shampoo ?

Just now, Gatsby said:

I’m now on topical Finasteride 0.25% once a day. 

Ok. What was the reason for the switch to topical ? Still got sides ?

If you apply topical foam minioxidil everyday, does that mean you have to wash your hair everyday ? If so, isn’t shampooing your hair everyday bad for you ? Is there a way around it ?

If you apply topical foam minioxidil everyday, does that mean you have to wash your hair everyday ? If so, isn’t shampooing your hair everyday bad for you so?

@GatsbyI read on one of your feeds that you had sides with 1 mg a day and you seized it by taking 1mg mwf. Are you still on that dosage and are you getting results ?

if you're feeling a positive change then that's what matters; happy to hear things are going well. ref the 2nd pic: how does your hair look when it's dry?

 

I received my package a few days ago and have just started using the xyon dutasteride; starting oral minoxidil next week

I wouldn’t try oral minoxidil. I was on it for 9 months and no change other then tired looking eyes and some crows feet, so I went off it. Gonna try rogaine foam and maybe Xyon dustasteride.

Soft water is water that has reduced minerals in it, hopefully dramatically reduced… usually achieved through an ion exchange with sodium charged resin beads in a tank. The reduced minerals exchanged for sodium creates a water that dramatically reduces the amount of minerals that build up on the hair or scalp which usually cause irritation, itchiness and drying. Soft water is significantly better for your hair and scalp and helps hair retain more moisture. The effect is immediate with good soft water vs hard water in my experience. If you wash your hair with soft water even once, you’ll be like yeah that dude was right. 
 

Edit: If your hair is dry..I’ve said it before in these forums try some Living Proof 5-1 before blow drying it’ll help smooth it out. I’m curious to, have you thought that some of the dry frizzy hair could be regrowth of terminal hairs just weaker because the follicles were dormant due to taking oral Min? It’s possible🤷‍♂️

How do you get soft water ?

It’s not worthless, but you get more synergistic effects using both.

So in your opinion, if I go on Xyon treatment route, should I combine it with minoxidil even tho minoxidil failed with me? Since it does make Xyon stronger as you mentioned.

thanks

I’ve been in oral minoxidil for 8 months and my hair hasn’t thickened up nor has shedding changed. I also was on topical minoxidil for a year and same issue. So my question is using Xyon alone be sufficient or is it worthless without combining using minoxidil?

I honestly wouldn’t mess with any other topical dut other than XYON they seem to be the most reliable/safe product out there. 
Also this topical dut promotes hair growth so it’s kinda like minoxidil I’ve also noticed my hair has gotten thicker and longer in a short amount of time the stuff definitely works I’m using it everyday without any sides 

Since Xyon works like minoxidil  by thickening the hair, would it be ok just to use Xyon by itself with no minoxidil? Because I’ve been in oral minoxidil for 8months with no change to my hair thickness and topical minoxidil was no better 

I thought medical therapy like minoxidil and finasteride/dustasteride have no impact on transplant hair? So how is possible this Xyon treatment is making your transplant hair thicker ?

I think the Xyon topical dut works you just need to use it everyday for maximum efficacy. Visible results should be noticeable by 6 months of everyday use 

Is oral finasteride still more effective than topical dustasteride since it’s more systematic ?

Same for me.  I don't think oral Min works for me (5mg).  Might go back to topical.  

How long have you been in oral minoxidil? And when you were on topical, did you have to wash you hair everyday ?

Been on it for almost 7 months and no side effects 

Yea no one is gonna watch that long video. Just sum up why it’s scary ?

Anybody develop ear hair while taking oral minoxidil? Lol not sure if i always had it or it developed post OM

Donor looks strong. You have any pre op photos ?

@Smacias15 definitely, here is my donor 2 weeks pre-op attached. 
 

The post op view of my donor is above too! 

Comparing the before and after, nothing looks abnormal. Doesn’t look patchy at all. Of course it’s going to look a little sparse due to the trauma of the extractions but your donor should thicken up in the next 3-6 months. Once your hair grows out, it will look undetectable.
