Thinning Hair problem

[kenneth27]

Hi Constantine,

The first month i started taking Mid-Jun Propecia(one box only), i saw plentiful of hairs on my bed. At least 30 strands if i look around on floor and bed. I remember i was backpacking alone in HangZhou. Waking up seeing the bed with alot of hairs.

The improvement started to show on the October 3rd month after my (Proscars).

I did have a friend who took proscar. He told me he din see any improvement, He have been in it for a year. I am not sure if the effects is individual or because i am taking 1.25mg of Proscars. Anyway, i would not advise to go above 1.25mg.

Hope this infor bring you some patience and observance.

Thks for ur advice...
Btw, I just started taking propecia for about two weeks already...so far still didnt see any improvement in controlling hairloss or scalp oilyness...
For you, when did u start to notice improvement from taking propecia?

Hi Donald,

Have you tried Proscar or propecia to reduce the dht?

Saw palmetto extract may have some side effects on a few. For me i tried for one week but feel my throat abit uncomfortable. I can't say if it really work since i stopped after a week.

Nettle leave is known to fight inflamation and if you do a google, it help in hairloss. Since using it, i saw it reduces hairloss.

There was some debate on drinking green tea to reduce dht. I personally tried for months but observed it did not help.

I have tried 1 bottle of Minoxidil 5% before taking propecia and proscar. Scalp get itchy. Once stopped, it appear to get worst. This is afterall personal observation.

My suggestion to you is still to tried the 3 basic methods first since it worked for me. And of course i hope it work in you too.

I suggest you may like to work out on meditation. It help calm mind and sleep well. Relax and keep away stress too.

hi kenneth27,

im already using Nizoral twice a week. using some hair thinning shampoo but scalp still very oily.

I too believe it's due to hormomes.

Have just purchased 5% minoxidil and ordered some saw palmetto (in place of prosca/propecia) cos afraid of side effects...

Wanna get some feedback on those who tried Saw palmetto before.

then does the nettle oil shampoo really work as well>?

Have not tried proscar or propecia yet to reduce DHT as I as thinking of other alternatives like Shen Min pills (reduce DHT) or saw palmetto.

Will buy nettle oil shampoo from bodyshop to try.

I have no probs with minoxidil 5% as it does not cause scalp irritation to me. My scalp is extremely oily. Do u shampoo once or twice a day? Normally i shampoo once a day before i go to sleep

So how's your hair condition nw after taking propecia?
Does your hair look better nw or just maintain at the same condition without getting worse?
Mine is thinning alot at the top frontal part and crown is starting to get bald too...How's your condition like?
Heard that propecia only helps in treating the crown area...is that true?

u got the same problem as me, frontal balding. i also read that minoxidil and propecia only treats vertex and crown, but also read that recent studies show it treats frontal as well.

no harm trying though. u have oily scalp too? my face and scalp very oily.

Donald,

I have a bottle of Shenmin advance sealed from GNC. Willing to let go at 50 if you are interested.

I shampoo only once a day at night. No hair gel or matt or spray used. If i want to reduce the weight, i use coconut oil my Nepal colleague got for me in Mustafa at less than 2 buck.

Have already ordered saw palmetto from US, shall try that first before going for Shen Min.

What do you mean by reducing the weight?? U use coconut oil to style your hair?

I just started using minoxidil yesterday, the solution is alittle greasy and making my hair look starchy.

Anyway i just shaved like recruit hairstyle last week.. frontal part abit serious

Hi Donald,

I guess you must be abit paranoid about the frontal. Beauty is transient. I believe nobody really would walk out of your life even you are bald. Do you know why monk shave to bald? To strip the ego in their mind.

I am using coconut oil (For hair , not cooking) to style hair if it get to messy when i woke up in the morning for work and not for ego.

any buttie tried H4H Hair Formula Capsules from Eu Yan Sang for hair health?

The capsules work by targeting the inner body problems which cause unhealthy hair problems.

Is it effective?

 

[dreamer75]

Ocean Health has some vitamin pills concentrated in Vit B, He Shou Wu, Biotin to treat hair loss.

 

[dreamer75]

Did any buttie try going to Herbal Hair Treatment centre?

This one has gd reviews. I may just give it a try.

I just like to provide some kind advice as i have read that many had tried many method without much improvement.

I suggest the below few items first so that you can see if it help reduce your hairloss. This help to reduce your cost.

1. Nizoral (Guardian pharmacy) Twice weekly. Leave on for 5 minutes before washing away.
2. Nettle Oil Shampoo (Body shop). Daily if Nizoral is not used. Nettle oil is one of the DHT blocker (google online)
3. Proscar (I have personally used Propecia for 1 months and i can't comment if propecia work well as the dosage is slightly lower compare to breaking proscar into 4)

Wash your hair maximum twice a day only. Once only is best at night if you can (Can't comment to you what i suspect)

Clear your mind off sex and work after office hour. Reduce your stress. sleep at least 8-9 hours.

I have stopped Proscar for 2 months and working on meditation instead. It help to reduce stress and provide good sleep. Everything seem fine. If you need some advice on meditation, you can seek a good teacher. But i did it on my own as i am studying buddhism.

Lastly, Do not worry. Be happy... life is uncertain, but death is certain.

any side effects from consuming Proscar ?

 

[kenneth27]

For me Yes. Perhaps you can read back older post.

Hair loss may be a long run problem for many. One could try various products marketed in the industry but ended paying something that is just out to burn consumer pocket.

One need to face the truth that till date there is no drug that work like miracle. If it does, then those products in market will cease or copy.

Probably cost cutting is one of the measure to consider too in this long running process.

Shave off bald is probably the best solution that doesn't cost.

Hi Constantine

back to the thickness? u mean u regrow back everything?

does nettle oil shampoo make hair very dry after washing?

i used nizoral , and my hair super dry after washing.

so u see the effect after taking 3 months of propecia/proscar?

 

[kenneth27]

Yup. Back to it's thickness.

Nettle oil do not really dry up the hair like nizoral.

That's why you should use Nizoral twice a week or when your hair is very oily.

Last question, yes. Reduce hairloss.
