J1j9j85,

 

I highly suggest researching at the hair loss learning center and hair loss Q & A blog. There is a lot of good information regarding "alternative" (oils, herbs, vitamins) at each source. I hope this helps!

JJ,

 

Yo man, I'm real happy for you bro! I saw your other thread and congrats on the surgery with Dr. Hasson and team.

 

The best thing to do now is just sleep alot, eat well, and just rest up your body as much as possible. You first need to HEAL before you can plow your foot down on the gas pedal in attempts to speed up growth! Just do what your body tells you to and don't try and fight it. I got insatiably hungry and also slept for long hours and just generally did a whole lot of nothing. That included meditation, deep breathing, walks in the park, and 3 hour jacuzzi tub siestas. Keeping the scar area clean is important too, using that special shampoo.

 

Concerning the E oil the clinic recommends to heal the scabs, DO NOT use high concentration (28,000 IU) vitamin E oil !!! I (luckily) made this mistake on day 15 when I had run out of the bottle of the lower concentration. The high concentration is like crazy glue on your head and almost impossible to get off for days! You obviously DON'T want that on your grafts when you are 1-4 days post op, OR your scar either cause it could cause bacteria to penetrate into the wound !!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I think H & W should update their instructions to warn about the high concentration E oil. I just got lucky, cause the first bottle was like 12,000 IU and had some other goodies in it too.

 

I wouldn't mess with any minox right away either. Just take those antibiotics until they run out first, then maybe think about adding some MSM to your regimen. Definitely keep on the proscar.

 

You got some dark days a comin brother as well! You feel like a rock star walking out of there and looking at all that new stubble up there, and in 7-10 days (in my case) it was even growing and getting longer with better pigment by the day. Then, it's like you go from that to INSTANT BALDNESS -- overnight. You may find your pathetic pre existing forelock , that at least gave you some coverage, is suddely almost non existent; they call it shockloss. You you look at the sink to see all of those hairs at once gave up the ghost, stuck in that frickin E oil, and you run your fingers thru your scalp to find that a myriad of hairs are sticking to your hand.

 

Then, you look in the mirror to see an image you could hardly ever have imagined before-- YOU as a bald man! And now just waiting, in pergatory, for those babies to sprout. It's a real rollercoaster ride and I see what the vets were telling me now, they are wise!

Didn't want to create a new topic for this but I had someone mention a eyelash growing serum that apparently works for growing and thickening. Its called Rapidlash and seems to have *some* credibility. Just curious if any of the active ingredients have any affect on other hair?
