Started RU 3 Weeks ago

[jlantern]

J lantern, Could you please tell us your whole regime to have an idea?

I believe that you are taking Minoxidil 5% and RU 5%. Am I right? What else?

I would like to know your regimen as well,
and more than that, where did you buy the RU from, mpb's?

My RU Source is Kane. I hope to purchase from the group buy coming up soon.

Here is my complete breakdown:
AM Shower with JASON Biotin Shampoo Conditioner http://www.amazon.com/Jason-Natural-...s=jason+biotin

EOD I use Niz 1%, I think I might discontinue use of it due it being harsh on hair. I feel that with the other topical anti-androgens I wont need it. Also considering the amount of topical's, I want to keep my hair very healthy.

on a Dry Scalp apply 100mg of RU in 2ml of KB solution all over nw6. I wait 30 minutes or so (finish getting ready for work) then apply minox on vertex and hairline, let dry apply prox-n. I use crew pomade to style my hair. I dap a bit on the temple area. the pomade is castor oil. I use this to maintain moisture during the day.

PM shower wash hair with JASON shampoo, RU and Callipogain. minox on vertex. prox-n
apply lotion to temples vertex.

I want to stress the importance to keeping your hair healthy while treating it for MPB. From what I have read on this forum there is almost no concern for moisture or health. I figure that is why for some people these solutions dont work. You might be killing your hair while getting rid of DHT. castor oil and lotion has worked well for me. Also the shampoo I use helps a lot too.

Thanks for updating jlantern. You will be the first member in the forum who shares his RU58441 results in photos. Keep it up Bro.

Thanks HARIRI, I am starting to notice a pattern to how the hair sheds, at least for me. seems the hair closets to the thickest sheds first. Then when the hairs closer to the outside reach or start to grow at the same rate those hairs shed.

Right now I feel like the shedding has stabilized. The speed of growth to hairs shed seem to be even. I am happy to continue this pace. I hope to offer new pictures in the next 6 weeks.

I just added Prox-n to the mix. We'll see how this works out. As for callipogain, the ginseng keeps me from sleeping at night so I am applying it in the AM. Its to early to tell but I feel like since I started the short hairs at the hair line has gotten longer. Never the less its progress and I am happy

Wow good job with the regrowth but I don't understand how you can take medicinals like this without even knowing if they will have some short/long term side effects on you.

Fin is much much worst than RU, fin is approved by the FDA even

Since I have been applying RU and Minox to my diffuse area I am seeing LOTs of scalp now. Mostly when wet and/or applying a topical. This is due to the shedding im experiencing with RU and possibly the more regular application of Minox. It shedding to where it might make me nervous if it continues at this rate. I am completely aware the shedding is apart of the process.

As for the hairline, shedding has continued. I see mostly thin or almost invisible hairs falling out. given the shed I am still seeing more small hairs pop up. I figure it will take many many shedding cycles for these hairs to become thicker or even terminal. I hope the addition of AHK-Cu Copper Peptides will aid in this area.

As for my crown, its looking a bit thin.. Teasing the hair out in the back seems to help but under certain light you can see my scalp. I really hope this area thickens up ASAP. I have always regularly applied Minox to this area and I hope Niz and RU will do its work. In the crown I am also seeing very thin hairs shed from that area.

I'm in the same boat. After adding Minox 5% in December I've been constantly shedding and everytime I apply either Minox or RU my hair looks painfully bad. So much so that I've quit using product when styling, I just keep my hair flat and straight now to hide the thinning. Hopefully I wont have to ride this bullshit for long until regrowth happens.

However, I'm seeing many new hairs behind the hairline and theyve been coming for about 1-2 months and theyre constantly growing. This using only RU and Minox makes me feel pretty confident I can get more density than what I had before starting Minox 5%... hopefully once I start CB and potentially Keratene things will improve even more. I'm still saving up pennies for a treatment with Dr. Gho either in London or Holland, which should lessen my social disadvantage. F*ck, I hate balding

The shedding has stopped. Im seeing almost no hair fall out or in my hands today. We'll see how this lasts.

Here you can see the little hairs growing in after a month. My hair color as you can see if light so is the new growth, its started to get a little color but I am afraid it will be a few months before we see it get thicker.

I need to ask you all, what RU do you use? Kane, MPB's, Ontario...?
I started a topic in Men's general discussion about MPB treatments and their credibility.
I ordered the RU plus 5% from them and now asking myself was it a mistake?

I use Kanes its certainly legit, however I order AHK-Cu from mpb and I should have it in a few weeks.. Ill use it until it runs out then opt for Kanes and get an opinion.

Wouldn't it be more beneficial to use 150mg of RU on its own and the other 50mg as an added bonus to Minoxidil (1ml containing 50mg of minox and 50mg of RU). Would probably work much better for reducing DHT at longer intervals than in one shot.

[jlantern]

I can't see any reason why 200 mg RU would do harm. Not to your hair at any rate, it's probably not optimal for your body but unless you're super sensitive to androgens you should be okay.

I've been on 1ml of 5% for 2.5 months now and I'm shedding like a bitch. Definitely more than normal. No idea whether I'm getting regrowth yet. Nothing obvious. But I'm hoping it's a good sign. I will keep using it for 6 months and then reevaluate.

Hurry up CB!!!!

im shedding pretty healthy but I can see areas that have gotten thicker. In the long we all know shedding is good. If I start shedding to fast i will drop to 100mg. But everything is looking good for me right now
