I Need A Hair Loss Veteran

[dex89]

One of the members here mentioned an 8-laser clone called the "energy comb" that was a lot less expensive. I can't find it anymore through google but it did look like it should work at least as well as the 7-laser Hairmax.

I'll research more about laser combs but If I end up buying one it will be the 7-lazer hairmax. Thank you Tracy, your a great asset to this forum, much appreciated.

Show pictures so that we can actually tell if you're balding or maybe just have fine hair or something?

either way I dont see why minoxidil or Fin is a bad reccomendation, fin barring you dont have side effects will at least slow the loss.

my understanding is that rogaine makes your native hair thicker, so i don't see why it will not work for diffuse cases.

...so i don't see why it will not work for diffuse cases.

You are both missing the point somehow. I don't understand how you are missing the point but you are. I did not say it wouldn't work. I said it is not appropriate for those who do not have thinning in their vertex and/or mid-anterior. Using any medication that is not appropriate for your indications is never a good idea. A doctor needs to examine this person to determine if he does have MPB or not.

Actually what he said is that he has thinning all over his hair, which means that vertex and mid-anterior are included, no ?

Using medications for treating MPB if you don't actually have MPB is a not a good idea. He needs to see a doctor to be sure it's MPB.

So Tracy,

What brands of shampoos do you recommend?

[Tracy C]

I like Aveeno. They make a great sulfate shampoo and conditioner as well as a 2-n-1. Use whatever brand you like, though it is best to use sulfate free shampoos and conditioners. If you have MPB or FPB, it is a good idea to use Nizoral A-D shampoo once or twice a week in place of your regular shampoo. Nizoral A-D is not sulfate free, but your exposure to the sulfates in it is insignificant if you only use it once or twice a week.

Thanks Tracy. I will look up this Aveeno you suggest.

I have both the 1% and 2% Nizrol but favouring the 1% right now as it conditions as well - and im going through a massive shed.

Keep the posts coming - you are a great help to many.

The only sulfate free shampoo i could find where im from is called juice organics:

http://www.drugstore.com/juice-organics-pomsmooth-pomegranate-smoothing-shampoo/qxp214250

i think it's alright since it's completly organic and it says it's free of:
parabens
pesticides
petroleum
propylene glycol
phthalates
sulfates
artificial colors
synthetic fragrances

I don't know if that's good or bad but im giving it a shot now.

not a bad idea, dude. I'll post one ASAP. it probably would help specify the advice and recommendations if I gave an example. good looks

also, before I forget, what's everyone's opinion on Lipogaine? the reviews on Amazon were great, but I'm not an idiot-- I'm not going to put my trust in reviews that may have very well been planted for all I know, although, it's ingredients seem to have some fact behind them. I've found a few other sites giving it good praise, but out of all the sites, I trust the opinion of the users on this site the most. can it actually thicken hair?
