iso where do u get the essential oil mix? and what does the concoction consist of? btw u use spiro? heard its suppose to be the most effective anti androgen topical. Btw iso, mind helping me check if ur kaminomoto contains ppg?

Edit: realised u take oral spiro instead of topical.


honestly i dont believe in all this trichologist shiit. they're just trying to suck our money. trichokare uses herbal stuff, might as well get the essential oil and DIY. btw does anyone remember Stallone who tried Svenson way back last yr? wonder how hes doing

sorry for the late reply... somehow i missed out your post.

i base my essential oil mix on this study.
http://www.ehow.com/how_2119611_use-lavender-treat-hair-loss.html

basically i use lavender/Rosemary/Ylang Ylang which is different from the study. but somehow i guess lavender play the biggest role if it really work. i can't confirm, just gut feeling. use to add minomuck too. but stopped it as it tend to form some brown particles in the solution after sometime. you can get good quality essential oil on some local website. but i just got some cheap ass essential oil from mustafa shopping centre. i will suggest you get the good quality one. although they are more expensive but it can last very long. about $20 plus for 10ml for most oil.

i tried DIY topical spiro cream too. but as i mention before, i really do not have the patient to apply cream on my scalp. if you make your own cream, it can be fairly cheap.

my kaminomoto does not contain PPG. to make thing simple, i just add essential oils to it now.

iso, thanks for the info. I think lavender oil is good for its anti androgenic properties. Hair signals also contain it. i will look more into the essential oil thingy. Do you mind telling me the local website?

Actually there are quite a number of products out there to try out, but cost is a problem and several of them contains ppg, which i do not know if im allergic to. Nv use minox before yet.

i won't compare it in this way between minoxidil and propecia. they work in different way. it like comparing apple and orange.

they are "power" in their own way.

today went to the barber shop(yes, those $8-$10 per cut type:o) which i have been cutting my hair there for many years.

most of the time i will be served by the same 2 lady there. i will avoid been served by others as i am quite comfortable them.

today i was served by one of the lady which have not cut my hair for the last couple of time. when i sat down, she was flipping my hair around and looked a bit surprise. she asked me did i regrow my hair at least 3-4times before saying my hair look thicker then before:eek:

i was kind of surprise at her comment. especially coming from my hair dresser which have been cutting my hair for maybe 7-10years? you can say she watch me getting bald:D

i have not been taking pictures for sometime as well as stopped recording every single changes in my treatment for about a year. so i don't know my progress whether good or bad as well as what is responsible for the possible improvment.

i have no idea did i really regrow anything. but today experience was refreshing:yawn:

I have 3 bottles (come in a box) of Kirkland Signature 5% minoxidil for sale. New and factory sealed. Each bottle is 60ml and the price is $55 for all 3 bottles.

Local pharmacies are selling at about $50 per bottle. One bottle lasts for one month and the expiry date is 04/2011

Minoxidil is one of only two medications proven to treat hair loss and is approved by the US FDA. Self-collection in Northeast area. Pm me if you are interested.

I have use minoxidil for more than 2 months now. So far the results are quite ok. I have not really see obvious growth yet, but I have less dropping of hair now.

propecia work by lowing DHT level while minoxidil work by off-setting your hairloss.

the mode of action is different. it will not be correct to compare it as which one is "more power".

if you are comparing Avodart to propecia and say Avodart is "more power" then that will be more accurate.

it is possible to cover all your scalp with minoxidil. 1ml should cover pretty much of the area affect by MPB. slightly more should do the trick. you only need to wet your scalp with it not soak your head with minoxidil. try using 1ml of water and see how much area you can cover on your chest. with the right application method, you should be able to cover a pretty good area on your scalp although not as much as bare skin.

Hi all,

I was wondering how reliable are the medications made in India. Specfically, proscar and minodixil. Just to share with everyone, these MII medicine are way cheaper than what can be found in Singapore or Malaysia. For example , proscar(30tablets) costs about SGD$10 and minoxidil 5%(1mth supply) is about SGD$15.

Just that i am rather unsure about its quality. Not sure if they will be any way inferior to those found here.

They are the same stuff pal. they are cheap because India do not follow patent law therefore they product the drug without paying anything to the drug company and hence the low price.

Just one more thing to share, Nizoral 2% from Johnson & johnson costs about SGD$5 for a 50ml bottle in india which is quite similar to the prices in our region.
