Is this the best regime?

Hi

 

I've been doing a little research on the forums looking for success stories in temple and hairline regrowth.

 

People say that propecia usually doesn't grow temple hair, but rogaine can do this although not much.

 

Alot of the people that say they've had great success at growing temple hair usuallly combine Fin and Minoxidil, though whats interesting is the way they use it.

 

I'm not sure if its all coincedence but most seem to take Fin by itself for a couple of months and then apply Minox, and thats when they see the results. These are two guys with photographic evidence

and there are loads more who claim they took Fin for a couple of months and then start minox

 

Hair Loss Help Forums - Regaine 5% minoxidil - SIMPLY AMAZING!!!

 

Is it that by using Fin first your lowering your DHT so that when you use Minox its easier for tempple hair to regrow?

 

I'm asking because if I get rogaine and propecia at the same time I would be wasting money on rogaine for the first few months because it would have little effect.

I would start them both at the same time.. I think the main reason people start them at different times is because if you start them at the same time and see improvement you will not know which med caused the improvement..however, if you plan on attacking the hair loss I would go ahead and start both..

I would start them both at the same time as well. And for keeping track on which products work i think that there is a visible difference in the hair characteristics that (perhaps) regrow from those products. So you will be able to see which of them is causing regrowth even though you start at the same time. Minoxidil gives fine soft hairs while regrowed hair caused by finasterid gives much stronger thicker hairs.Thats my opinion.

 

If you wish to start one them first start with finasterid (propecia).

 

Please add nizoral to your regimen.

I would use Finasteride 1.25 mg/day, minoxidil 2 times/day, and Nizoral every 3-4 days. That and maybe a biotin supplement is about as good as it gets.

RC West, hows it going for u? I am just embarking on a daily dosage of the oral minox... I haven asked u for some time... any side effects so far mate?

[RCWest]

Hey WB! How are you doing my friend? I've been on the oral minoxidil for a full year now. No sides at all, and my crown and rear top 1/2 have thickened noticeably.
