Thinning Hair problem

[Isopropyl]

Leonard933:
i got my Copper-Peptides from www.skinbiology.com
i do not use folligen as i am allegy to PPG. but i get the CP serum and use it on my scalp.
if you get at the above webbie i mention, their price is higher. but for every $30 purchase, you will get some free sample of your choice so i use it. their service is good but their deliver something can be troublesome. they might forget your order, wrong order, long deliever time etc. but they will always make thing up to you if you feedback to them. so i don't mind.
other website sell about $7-$8(USD) cheaper without any free bit. like http://www.folica.com/Folligen_Soluti_d78.html
so depend on what you want.

i got my Rogaine foam from the above link. you can do a search on Ebay for more offer. it cost $29.99(USD) for 3months supply. that pretty much the cheaper price you can find online +- abit. of course you can search around for cheaper shipping rate. the shipping rate i get is $18USD. it work up to slightly below $27 singapore dollar for one bottle. if anyone want to get it, do ask me for some tip on using it. if not, you might have some problem. haha... i learn the hard way.

i have order many many time online and never have much problem getting my order except once there is a few months delay with www.skinbiology.com which i mention above.


Disclaimer: i got no link with the above website i link to. i don't lose or get a single cent whether you choose to or not using the above website.

Thymuskin Shampoo and treatment

Hi,

Has anyone tried this product before? Its called Thymuskin Shampoo and treatment.

 

[Isopropyl]

Hugo:

yeah, that shampoo look intresting and have create quit a buzz lately. it more like a kitchen skin apporach with ingredient that have some study. but seriously, i don't put too much faith in it.

reason been that company lots of problem with one of their hairloss product and receive lots of complain. also, their marketing is a bit misleading.

for this shampoo, other than Ketoconazole and Caffeine, they didn't state the percentage of other ingredient. even if the ingredient might be helpful, the amount might be too small to do anything. mixing this much of ingredient in a single formula is not easy. i doubt they do much research and testing before they come out with the formula base on their history. i guess the price will also be on the high side. let wait for more review first after it out.


AdamApple:

for Thymuskin, i will say save your money for other proven product. it is expensive and do nothing.

and the peptides ingredient which biolyn is pushing..
bro, care to share which is the problematic product?

and the peptides ingredient which biolyn is pushing..
bro, care to share which is the problematic product?

for biolyn... a simple rule of thumb. if some company is selling some product yet refuse to state what is the exact ingredient, most likely their "secret ingredient" is worthless. no prove at all it will work except a simple survey that doesn't mean anything at all. if some hairloss product work, it will be all over the news.

http://www.divineskin.com/spectralDNC/default.asp
the product above. spectral DNC.

do a search on most hairloss forums you will find that the first few formula give alot of problem like separation, clogging of the spary, give skin a bright yellow colour etc etc. the formula is revised a few time and the spray system have been so call redesign. the newest version is reported to be a clean solution. how well it work is still to be see. from that, we can see that no proper research and formulation is been done. just some random mixing of ingredient.

so far, i have not read of anyone on forums with great result. some reported regrow, which user of normal and cheaper minoxidil also have. so i really doubt that it that good. but keeping my mind open for the new formula. yet have little faith in it.

 

[xaiobai]

want to check with u guys, for those taking propecia...did u noticed after taking for like one year, there are jelly like thingy in your sperm?

other than that i have to admit it is a good medicine. abt its side effect.. me still going strong

Hey i have a problem with thinning hair too. When i washed my hair, it dropped more then 10 strand of hair. Damn scary. But the problem has been solved since i changed my shampoo to head and shoulder ( even though i dun have dandruff ). Suggest u might wanna change shampoo to try.


And yea, i read from one article. It says scientist has found that using anti dandruff shampoo, like head & shoulder will reduce hair fall rate by 10 - 17 %. U might wanna try. No guarantee though..

haha... seriously, around 10 strand is nothing. i will be gald if i only drop 10strand during shower.

true, the active ingredient in head and shoulder might help with hairloss. it a form of zinc.

Use Mane and Tail Shampoo and Conditioner. Supposed to be used only for horses but found to be effective for human too. I think they are being sold at Watsons...

 

[alex_master276]

Currently, I am only16 years old and i am beginning to lose hair liao. So is any of the above treatments safe? or is there no age limit?

 

[Boner]

Wow!!! quite a number of hairloss expert here. maybe can start a hairloss club for man. hehe.

rECKleSSfElla gave a lot of good advice. just to add on a few.

1) Propecia (finasteride 1mg)

get proscar to save cost. you can cut it into 5parts. proscar is the same drug as propecia but come in 5mg version. so divide it into 5parts give you the same dosage as propecia yet you can save a lot of money.

early dosage test show that 0.2mg work almost as well as 1mg. 1mg reduce only 7.3% more DHT on scalp. so if you want to try it out, 0.5mg might be a good start. it take about 1year to know whether your treatment is working. do it at your own risk.

2) Minoxidil.

the cheapest 5percent version i found in singapore is minoxi5. it cost $57.75 for 80ml.

2% version work about 77percent as well 5% version in long term. it take longer to show it effect so be patient.

3) Shampoo

get a good anti-inflammation shampoo. inflammation of the scalp could increase your hairloss. you can try shampoo like nizoral 1percent or 2percent. use it 3times per week. it cost about $21 for 100ml and using it at this rate can last you very long. some study have found that nizoral 1percent and 2percent reduce hairloss like minoxidil 2%.
other shampoo that proven to help reduce inflammation contain coal tar, salicylic acid, head and shoulder etc.



no single treatment work well by itself unless you are the lucky one. start with proven treatment and if it does not help, add other treatment that is not proven. not proven does not mean it does not work. just that it is not tested and appove by FDA. so do some research and you might be lucky. your best bet is to start with a combo of propecia, minoxidil and nizoral.

just take things easy and don't be too bother by hair loss.

what i read about biolyn is that most likely it is another snake oil. certain users review have been bad and they refuse to disclose the active components of the product. no test have been done on the product to prove that it work. therefore, give this product a miss.

In term of head and Shoulder and CLEAR, which works better.
I used to use H n S before when i was still schooling, those times was those 2 in 1 formulas which pple dun recommend. The current H and S better now?

Where do you get proscar?

Any difference in goign REGAINE and GOWELL? i am currently using the GEL form of REGAINE.

 

[Boner]

I paid $100 for propecia for abt 5 mths too....before i stopped. Really too expensive.....imagine $500 for nothing.....
Now i'm trying to keep my hair treatment costs to below $100.......
I go J.B for hair cuts and scalp treatments......just cross a bridge every mth can help save quite a bit......

Does propecia cost less over at JB?

how much for the GEL form?
On paper there should be no difference between Regaine and Growell as the active ingredient is Minoxidil.
To cut cost, can try ordering from US sites where minoxidil is so much cheaper.

 

[Boner]

I just got a Nizoral plus (1% conditioning shampoo) from NTUC unity for $16.30.
Is this the one most people are talking about here?
Scare i buy the wrong one

The gel form is about 84, i got it from guardian.
I remember using the liquid one before (few years back), quite itchy, maybe cos i am not using a anti-drandruff shampoo then.
The gel form is about 2-3% cant really rem. Wonder does it works like GOWELL which is much cheaper then regaine.
