Seeking advice: What prodcut(s) actually worked?

[Ethan]

Hey guys, I'm new here. My hair is receding and thinning in the front. I want to slow the loss and regrow it. I'm 28, and the hair loss started about 5 years ago and is progressing slowly. I want to stop it in its tracks and regrow some. I am not interested in surgery yet.

 

I am seeking your expertise, i have read a lot online, but I want to ask those of you who have years of experience with this to PLEASE tell me, Is there a shampoo or a product (medicine, herbs, cream) that you have used that actually worked for you? What is it called, how long did you use it for, what positive changes did you notice and did you have side effects?

 

These are just some products I've noticed repeated mention of online: Propecia, Revita,Jason Tea Tree,Shen Min Vitalize, nizoral, finasteride, minoxodil

 

But, is there a product (shampoo, pills, herbs, cream) that you have used that actually worked for you and stopped the loss or regrew hair?

 

Guys, thanks a lot really appreciate you sharing your knowledge and hopefully this post here will have a collection of solutions that WORKED for others, that people like me who are new to dealing with hair loss could use right away and save ourselves costly mistakes and frustration.

 

Thanks

Ethan

Hi Ethan

 

I'll make it easy for you ..

 

Propecia

Minoxidil

 

Both can regrow hair marginally and more importantly stop loss

 

Nizoral has been shown to have anti-DHT effects and increase hair count ( it won't do too much but has been shown to be a positive contributor)

 

 

The new shampoo Revita just came out and has many good anti-DHT ingredients ( including the active one in Nizoral). So, it should in theory be effective as well but again, it will not make a huge dfference..

 

Actually I just bought 2 bottles of it and started using it on Tuesday.. I like the way it leaves my hair and it is much milder than Nizoral..

 

That's it .. Nothing else will really help you except some items which contain the above with other stuff in it .

Like jobi said, propecia & minoxidil (rogaine). Most everything else is snake oil.

I think it is ok to throw the Nizoral into the mix. Although it is somewhat of an ancillary treatment, you are not going have the same compliance issues that you might have with a product like Minox (which I also recommend, BTW). If you are going to shampoo your hair anyway, why not incorporate the Nizoral a few times a week. You can also get generic Ketoconazole quite easily for the same effect.

This regimen works for me:

 

 

Avodart (Dutasteride) .5 mg per day

Nizoral 2% - 3 five minute shampoos per week

Minoxidil 5% - two mL twice a day. One on the hairline and one mL on the crown. Use the cheap wal-mart stuff. Works great.

 

This stuff doesn't help grow or maintain hair counts, but I like the way they make my hair feel/act:

 

MSM - 3,000 mg per day - makes the hair grow faster

 

Nioxin actives shampoo - Thickening agent. Great shampoo and conditioner overall.

 

And for the grudgingly thin spot in the crown:

 

Dermmatch and a sprinkle of Toppik.

 

 

Substitute Propecia (Finasteride) for Avodart (Dutasteride) if you wish.

 

Anything outside of that list just ain't worth it.
