Read an article which says "Tricomin has been shown in clinical trials to stimulate growth. It uses specific Copper Peptides to stimulate naturally dormant follicles into their growth phases, effectively countering the damaging work of DHT. Tricomin products can be used effectively with other treatments including Rogaine and Propecia, providing additional benefit to the follicle and surrounding environment".

Has anyone tried this? Is it effective? Where to order this in Singapore? Thinking of trying this alongside my regime of propecia, minoxidil and Nizoral.Also, do I have to use Tricomin forever just like minioxidil/propecia to maintain/grow hair?

Any advice will be very very much appreciated :look:
U can buy it from aremyhair. A bottle can last for 3 months. I din notice any regrowth but it has certainly make my scalp less oily.
I wonder the concentration sold in the market and tested in the trial are the same or not.

I'm ashamed to say that I've finally joined the ranks of the balding, ha ha. I'm only 26 but my hairline has been receding since 24. I've been cutting armani with high slope to disguise it, but when the hair starts growing again, it's only too obvious my pate is lacking compared to the rest. My solution is to shave bald in the future.

Can't believe the Malay barber I've been frequenting for more than 15 years still has a really big, full head of currypok hair. And he was laughing at my balding patch. Talk about irony. :s22:

No. stuff like MSM might help your hair to grow faster and better but in no way it can stop MPB.


Anakin1982:

Good luck dude.


podskinz:

you mean topical or oral spiro? for topical, the general feeling is it do very little. for oral, not much people try it.


browniechenryc:

Tricomin work. but the version sold in the market is water down compare to the one use in trial. it cost about $100 for 180ml at the place Asymtope mention. you can order online and cost about the same. general feeling about tricomin is it help to keep the scalp healthy with not much regrow. i believe it is useful in a way if you don't mind the price.


Asymtope:

yes. but it take a few more years before something is coming up in the market.


Jonathan_Boey:

don't feel so bad. just do your best. alot of people are insensitive about people with hairloss. try not to let it hard you too hard. at least your begin at the front only at the age of 24. those getting it at the top look much worst IMO. good luck pal. hope things turn up well for you.

I dun think it will affect.. Wax and clay are applied on the tip of your hair.. not at the scalp area. Applying them on the scalp area, does cost your scalp to be oily, as they are oil-based products. Carry on using wax and clay if u want, but apply at tip of hair.

wont those stuffs end up on the scalp at the end of the day... even though it was applied at the tip?

Not really sure about Gel. But best if you can visit a dematolgist, identify your scalp condition. It is natural that there are some oil at the scalp, but not too oily. The oil from the serbum production should be along the hair shaft and not the scalp normally.

-Skipping conditioners
-Wash hair with cold water, hotwater will enlarge the pores
-Get a good shampoo, shampoo at least once a day
-Don use so much hair styling products.

It's alright with that barber, he has known me for a long time, old friends laughing at each other, no problem! Thanks for your concern.



By the way guys, I got some advice to get a scalp massage every two or three weeks with hot oil and to comb the blading area everyday in order to stimulate hair growth. What do you think?

The hair piece in Aremyhair are good condition one, thats why they cost quite some sums of money. I dont really recommand Hairpiece unless you are balding or thinning severely. Propecia and Topical can help if you are still thinning. Add Toppik to cover the thinning area, it should do the job well.

Going to get my lasercomb tmlw. :D. Will keep you guys updated on the result.

Btw Scalp massage are good to add to your regime, as they helps maintain hair, dont really think they can simulate much hair growth...

But you must also deal with the problem internally, with Propecia.
Externally there is minoxidil, but i dont use that due to the smell, stickiness and the itches it can cause...

My regime: Propecia and a scalp cleanser ( use 1 to 2 x a week, if scalp itchy ) Adding lasercomb too.
My condition: Front a bit thinning, although not obvious. But my hairline is fine.

Minoxidil should be applied twice each day. If you stop applying it, you will lose all your hair that you gained from Minoxidil.
My recommandation is to start with Propecia than Minoxidil. It helps to maintain the hair, and sometimes regrowth. Propecia helps a lot if starts early. Propecia deals with the thinning problem, while Minoxidil just grows more hair than the hair you drops.

If you are richer you can start with Propecia, and Minoxidil. Start a regime and slowly adds treatments/products to it. If you start altogether, you will not know which products are working for you.

Nizoral is a shampoo, it can be quite taxing to your hair as it can makes them quite dry. Add with some of your shampoo and use occasionally.

Guys wonder if you all have seen this before. Just to give you guys a bit of hope.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6590766

5 people using 5 different hair treatment methods. All of them manage to regrow hair, some not much, some regain quite some hairs.

Look at the old man at 50 with Propecia, he did not bad, propecia works better at a younger age, imagine what it can do to you.

Suprisingly lasercomb also performed quite well too. Of course the best treatment up to date is still the Super duper expensive hair transplant.

Dont give up guys :)
