How many of you all actually grow hair using these products?Are these products just hoax or is there prove that they help?
Minoxidil ( FDA approved )
Propeccia ( FDA approved )
Advodart
Lasercomb
Nizoral
Tricomin
Retin-A ( Used together with Minoxidil )
Azelaic acid
Revivogen
ThymuSkin

There are so many of these products, not talking about yun nam all those stupid stuffs. Some products work for some people, some do not. But you can try Minoxidil, Propecia and Nizoral. This combination is one of the best way to combat hair loss. You can slowly add stuffs in to your regime. But first you better get your hair mapped out for minaturization first, know where the problems are. Which part of your hair is thinning

Proscar 5mg finasteride, I just started last week and cut every pill into ¼ which is about 1.25mg of finasteride. Read from a website it’s best to take in the morning. 30 pills last me about 4 months. Will continue for 8 months to see improvement on hair loss or any hair regrowth.

Hairmax Lasercomb, using 10 mins daily after shower and it’s proven to thicken my hair.

Alpecin Caffeine C1 Shampoo, use twice daily and noticed less hair loss.

Nizoral 2%, I’ve stopped using after it cause more hair loss and dandruff on my hair.

Minoxidil 5%, quite expensive and lazy to apply on the hair so stopped using too.

check your PM.


mopiko_boy:

in singapore, you need prescription. you can get it in malaysia for about RM 20plus(about $15SGD). can't remember the actual price. how long you can use depend on yourself. i got the 0.05% version and dilute it with water so it spread out easily. it can last me a very long time although i don't use it very consistently. it not very expensive. just to add on, Retin-A by itself have been proven to grow hair although it use mainly with minoxidil.

seriously i don't bother to go to doctor unless you need prescription for certain medication. most doctor know very little on hairloss treatment. and all they can do for you is prescript finasteride or minoxidil. that about it. unless you are talking about a hairtransplant, you got to go for the pro.

veron1506:

maybe you can go down aremyhair for a free consultation? i went once to buy tricomin. they are quite friendly. no harm talking abit to them. i believe hair piece nowaday is very well-make. it almost undectectable by most people. also, it stay on well. so it worth trying if you really want to go that route.

don't bother injecting steriod. you might end up ruining your scalp. steriod will cause skin thinning therefore destroying your hope of ever growing any hair. there is a good chance that something need to a cure will be out in 5-10years time. maybe a hair piece will help you tide over until then.

Steriods haha... dat stuff is dangerous man. I dont really recommand hair transplant at a young age sia, you will not know how serious your hair loss may be... Most people have to undergo more than one hair transplant to see great results depending on cases.. Remember you still have to take Propecia and Minoxidil after your hair transplant, dont really find it quite worth it, unless you are rich... Shock loss may appear after transplant, thats why you have to take propecia to prevent that also. A hair piece is a cheaper alternative, especially those good qualities wan and that can be attached to your head semi-perma by aremyhair like that wan..

hi anyone tried tricomin / folligen ?
tried both. use tricomin for only about 3weeks before i sell it. folligen i only use for a few week too as it contain PPG which don't go well with my scalp.

now i am using CP serum. the same company from folligen. but it design for face and don't contain any PPG. so i water it down abit and use it on my scalp for 3-5time weekly.

if you ask me whether am i getting any result, i don't know. according to general review, CP product effect range from thicken your hair, keep your scalp healthy, a bit of regrow to nothing at all.

but CP product sure keep my skin in better condition. ;)

Bros,

Can anyone tell me how to shampoo using Nizoral 2%??? Just started using it but there is almost no foam? How do you shampoo like that...there is almost no suds or foam at all

Also tried retin-A + minoxidil...Combination of Nizoral + Retin A + Minoxidil = Dandruff

Thinking whether to stop the regime, seems like losing more hair + gaining dandruff. I never had dandruff problem before. This regime seems like a bad idea afterall.
Any comments?
Need some advice...please

Nizoral should foam quite well. try washing with a normal shampoo first follow by nizoral. that should solve your problem. if you want, you can also wash twice with nizoral. but that cost much more.

should be the Retin-A or PPG in minoxidil. those are the most common cause. are you using a solution of Retin-A with Minoxidil? or you use the cream? how often are you using it?
what you can do is reduce or remove Retin-A or use PPG free minoxidil.

also, if you are serious about your hairloss, do use finasteride.

Hi Isopropyl,

I use Retin-A cream followed by minoxidil twice a week and minoxidil without Retin-A daily. and shampoo with Nizoral 2-3 times a week. Also taking propecia daily and lasercomb 3 times a week.

I shampoo once using normal shampoo then Nizoral but my dandruff is terrible now...thinking of selling off my Nizoral (bought 3 bottles of 2% at one go but regret now)

Strange that you say Nizoral foam quite well...maybe i got a faulty bottle.
