Just being confused why all of a sudden a full head of hair that i used to have turn out to be thinner. It all started when applying clay/wax & each time hair stick to my fingers. And then i decided to trim it thinner as its quite thick then. And since then my hair doesnt seems to be growing thicker anymore.

I noticed that there are many fine baby like hairs. When will these hairs start to mature & turn to full grown adult hairs? Currently i just started to use Nizoral 1% to stop anymore hairs from falling off. Is my situation consider as MPB? Also bought a bottle of Minoxi5 but too scare to try as shedding is normal after application but im already having thin hair and if shed then im really bald.

Any kind souls, pls advise. Feels really depressed from this.

I was using the purple moving rubber from Gat**y. I found it extremely hard to wash off. Do wash it off until your hair doesnt feels oily or sticky & only apply to the tip of hair & not on the scalp.

anyone has seen any good doctor? and do you have his address? I'm fearful of going to them actually. Scared of going to a place where they don't care and just prey on your money because of your insecurities.

Hair Loss Treatment

http://www.haircaretips.net/hair_loss_treatment.html

Are you looking forward to get rid of hair loss problems? Hair loss problem is an age-old concern faced by both men and women alike. Thanks to modern technology, new ways and means are being designed to preserve this valuable possession called hair.

Hair loss it basically a resultant of improper hair care, which can springs up due to various reasons such as hectic work schedules, environmental factors and many more.

As we age, a lot of us both men and women will begin to experience thinning of hair. This is due to the fact that some of the hair follicles shut down over time and gradually cease to grow. This incidence of discontinued hair growth is also conditional to your genes, in addition to other factors. Hair loss treatment for men is dissimilar to women hair loss treatment. Henceforth, a single product is not viable to deal with hair loss in both men and women. Speak with your general practitioner to get well-acquainted with appropriate medication, which caters to your hair loss concern.

Options for treatment of hair loss which can be arranged at Hair Care Tips are such as:

Propecia is an effective hair loss treatment for male pattern baldness. Propecia (finasteride) is the first and only FDA endorsed pill which can help treat hair loss on the vertex and the anterior mid-scalp area in men only.

Rogaine with minoxidil as its active ingredient works by enhancing the blood flow into the scalp, where the hair grows. It is an ideal hair loss medication for both men and women.

Procerin is a natural drug which basically reverses the hair loss process among men. Procerin is an easy way to get rid of hair loss problems without a prescription.

Provillus is a natural based hair loss product which works by inhibiting the conversion of testosterone into DHT (Dihydrotestosterone). This activity prevents hair loss. Provillus is effective in treating hair loss for both men and women.

Tricomin constitutes powerful copper peptides which facilitate in promoting healthy hair follicles. This in turn prevents hair loss and stops thinning of hair.

Revivogen is a natural hair loss product constituting herbs, which can be employed by both men and women. It primarily acts as a hair restoration product.


Herbal Propecia is a natural alternative to prescription. It works by limiting the activity of the DHT (Dihydrotestosterone), in this manner inhibiting the prime reason for hair loss. It is devoid of harmful adverse effects and can be used by both men and women.

Laser comb is a FDA endorsed drug-free device which facilitates to create conducive environment for hair re-growth. It works by boosting the flow of blood in to the scalp, thereby paving way for growth of healthy, shiny hair. Up to 93% of hair re-growth was experienced in individuals within the age group of 30-60 years. It can be effectively used along with other hair loss treatments as well.

Give back the vivacity to your weakened hair with hair loss treatment products arranged at Hair Care Tips. Simply fill up an expedient online contact form to get access to hair loss treatment products to suit your specific requirements.

Minoxidil for EXTENAL APPLICATION!!!
Consume it at your OWN risk...

Examples of Minixidil = Regaine (In EU ansd SG) and Rogaine (In US) (Same thing different brand name in different region)

The rest of the brands are just the GENERIC type...

Thanks, where can i get Regaine in SG?

for shampoo, most of those stuffs out there does nothing for your hair except to keep it clean. there are a few shampoo that might be helpful if you are already using nizoral.

1) coal tar shampoo - it the shampoo being use in propecia study. recently i came across one article that suggest that coal tar shampoo might indirect reduce DHT effect on scalp. it might work hand in hand with propecia. maybe that one of the reason why in the study, it is much more effective than what many real life user feedback. of course, we have no prove on that.

2) piroctone olamine(PTO) shampoo - in one study that compare ZPT(head and shoulder), nizoral and PTO shampoo all in 1% concentration, nizoral and PTO shampoo seen to show hair grow ability with PTO shampoo to be slightly better. both show ability to reduce sebum while ZPT does nothing in this department. reduce sebum suggest these shampoo might have anti-androgen properties.

3) Nano shampoo - the much debated nano shampoo. but it quite expensive and can only buy online.

4) oil base shampoo - some oil based shampoo like tea tree oil, lavender oil, peppermint oil etc seem to have some anti-androgen properties.

there are other shampoo that might help. but they really does very little to nothing. just get one that is gentle to your scalp will do.

you can get minoxidil from most pharmacy. but they are kind of expensive. most people order online to save some money.

Thanks Isopropyl :)
Yes, i am using Nizoral 3 times a week, so i am finding another alt for the rest of the 4 days.

Is Nizoral a direct/close subsitute of Regaine minoxidil?

I read that tea tree shampoo (which doesnt contain Sodium Laurel Sulfates) might be a good alt for the rest of the 4 days.

downside of Sodium Laurel Sulfates?

Where to find piroctone olamine(PTO) shampoo here? Saw that Kaminomoto Medicated Shampoo has piroctone olamine listed in its ingredients. Same thing?

What about Biotin shampoo?
