Regular Member nik26 Posted November 19, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted November 19, 2012 Hi all, I had an HT to my front- and midscalp almost 6 months ago and it's coming in nicely. My crown, however, looks thinner and thinner with each look. I know that I will have my crown worked on, eventually, but in the meantime, I would like to use a product that will halt or slow down the thinning. Proscar and Fin is not really interesting for me. So I looked into Rogaine. I can get Rogaine Men's Regrowth foam 5% 3 month's supply for around 40 $ on Amazon. Does this sound like a good deal and the way to go about my thinning crown?

Senior Member Janna Posted November 19, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted November 19, 2012 Your best chance of slowing hair loss progression is use of FIN plus Rogaine, but you should try the Rogaine by itself. $40 for 3 months sounds like a decent deal to me. You're not getting a bargain but you're not getting ripped off either. Good luck.

Senior Member HARIRI Posted November 20, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted November 20, 2012 Janna, speaking of Minoxidil 5%, what do you think of DS labs SPECTRAL DNC. It contains Minoxidil, Aminexil®, Retinol, Copper Peptides, Vitamin & Mineral Complex, T-Flavanone, Adenosine, Procyanidin B-2 & C-1.

baldat31 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 hey Nik, it is proven to stop loss , whats a difficult choice is whether you use foam or liquid as on the website it says he following 'If you do not see results after 4 months of applying REGAINE® Extra Strength Foam (or after 1 year of applying REGAINE® Extra Strength Solution) twice a day to your scalp, you should discontinue the treatment.' Does that mean that the foam is more effective as u have to wait a year to see if the liquid is effective as opposed to only 4 months for the foam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member nik26 Posted November 20, 2012 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 20, 2012 Thanks for your replies, guys. On these forums I've read that the foam is preferable to the liquid. I'm well aware that I should probably combine Rogaine with Fin to get the optimal effect. I just don't want to put that stuff in my body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldat31 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 ive done extensive research over the last 3 months for hous, i wouldnt recommend it. the side effects are just too great, i have heard that saw plametto is a dht blocker and does the same job without side effects Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member nik26 Posted November 20, 2012 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 20, 2012 You're referring to Fin, right? I'm yet to hear of any sides when using Rogaine. I could be wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member HARIRI Posted November 21, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted November 21, 2012 I can tolerate with any side effect. But Sexual ones (NO F WAY). Whats the use of having a head full of hair and a penis that doesn't function well. I would just stick with Minoxidil and Saw palmetto (better than nothing). What is more embarrassing? A woman looks at your head or a woman staring in weird way at your soft penis in bed. Screw FIN Big time lol...
