why oh why

gonna preface all this with "i could be wrong but" how old are you? could you just be experiencing usual facial hair growth for your age? such as being around early mid 20's and getting that "thick" beard look coming in? or do you ever wipe your face after putting on the rogaine?

fedor's out... hand injury.... it got switched to barnett/AA aleks (fedor's bro) is out too... on a side note for tito, he impregnated jenna http://mmamania.com/2008/08/06/report-tito-ortiz-and-je...eson-expecting-baby/ there's the skinny (kinda) on that grossness...

thanks... i hope it does thicken up! you're correct in assuming i haven't had a HT, i'm anxiously awaiting the year mark, hopefully i'll be very happy... honestly i'd be ecstatic if i could just hold off the loss until my 30's ... i'd be willing to make that compromise! just let me live my 20's right? here's hoping eh? i've been trying to take a photographic log i'll put it up if it gets interesting...

Has anyone had experience with pale hairs returning where the loss has occurred? have they in turn become darker or anything? i've been on the propecia since jan now recently added minox a month or two ago... about a couple months ago i noticed i ended up getting small pale hair completely where my hairline used to be, like if they were dark and strong i'd have my complete hairline back (i'm 24, but its receded around an inch/inch and a half from where it once was)... i can't tell if i'm getting them in the hole on top of my head since i can't see that well through the mirrors... anyone have experience with any of this?

first off... you have no right to say someone isn't thinking straight. much of the same argument can be made for your defeatist pessimistic attitude. Do you drive a SUV? does your wife have fake boobs? there are numerous "investments" that people make on their own free will, upon which many might say give no return. however, those who make them may say otherwise. Self confidence, which you appear to not contain, goes a long way in the world. how can you guarantee everyone who has an HT will have a "scarred up head" and be broke in ten years? i know many people who're balding, and they wouldn't even blink as to lose a few grand on an ht or two. have fun being old and bitter sir. costanza is it? either way i don't really care, i try to keep the negative out. don't expect a response back from me when you post attacking me and my denial ridden broke and (in the future) "scarred up" head. you won't get one.

yeah i'm glad tyson is gone but sadly enough .... i would have liked to see that tyson v kimbo fight come to fruition

i use nioxin cleanser on my off days for nizoral and scalp therapy everyday.... and i like em both well enough... the scalp therapy (conditioner) is the better of the two in my opinion

i recently restarted on the foam (about a month ago, i got out of denial about the loss and decided to try and REALLY attack it, with more then propecia) i was noticing a lot of hair on my hands after the foam applications (about 20 hairs, i have a buzz cut so it wasn't TOO depressing).... after a couple weeks... about 2 1/2 the number went down to about 3-5 ... i'm tryin to look at it like "shed over" and am excited to see if the hole on the top of my head fills up a bit in another couple months... hope my "timeline" is helpful

i would imagine you're still having some effect with the once a day application, however you're still only applying it half as much as is recommended... you try the foam? far less greasy... i would wait till you hear from more seasoned vets on the subject... but the way i look at it... you're all in or you're all out you know?

dude congratulations man, i only wish i had the dedication to the regiment that you have when i was your age.... and i'm only 24 (or will be in august) and i just now started to really attack it a few months ago... i had been lazy about it congrats man

meant to ask.... you using the foam or the formula?

i had been using the foam for a couple months... then went to the gen minox 5%.... i'm goin back to the foam when this goes... or the next paycheck ha! to answer the residue angle for me.... it does somewhat leave a residue, but i used it to my advantage, like a weird hairspray (i have a buzzcut... so it helped the spike)

looks good man, feeds the hope!

well said thana

does anyone else think its odd that hell boy has MPB? i was noticing that last night....

you would think it'd be like one massive effort (i understand the want for competition and being first on the market....and the money that can be made) i would hope that getting a cure for our affliction out would be the number one motivator... i mean if i were a mad scientist i'd forgo the money just to be able to get the cure done! its funny though... just today i was watching a rerun of chris rock's "bigger and blacker" where he talks about how drug companies can find the cure for things easily (he was talking about aids in his bit) but that they just wanna come out with drugs that you have to buy so you can "live with it" since they only want your money...

i'd have to say my list (5) is: the legend (frank shamrock) hendo huerta (anyone who uses the big screen to find their opponent is good in my book) Wandy and of course chuck honorable mention for gina carano

that even makes me feel better

yes joe rogaine is the fear factor guy, the ufc guy, the slightly funny comedian, the news radio guy all rolled into one... funny footnote, back when the ufc was becoming more mainstream they were trying to arrange a mma match (mma is the sport that the ufc promotes... i e football to the nfl) with a one wesley snipes (rogan trains and snipes is a black in like tea kwon do)... i imagine this was put on hold due to snipes' tax evasion troubles and subsequent imprisonment...

sounds like you maintained your status.... which is the hope... re-growth is like icing on the cake you know? also i think only 3-4 hairs a day is normal for everybody... i'm pretty sure i remember hearing that

joey.... since you stopped the propecia, it may be that the intense shedding is just losing what the fin was helping you keep.... just a thought
