Trx2?

I did, and he just told me to stop using shampoo full stop, as it was obviously this causing it, despite the fact I use only a shampoo designed to help dermatitis. Anyway, I thought that laying off shampoo a bit might stop my scalp drying out but ... It doesn't seem to have done anything. So yeah, I'll force an appointment with the dermatologist.

One theory I've come up with is that although I have MPB (which I know given that there is a 'pattern' to my thinning, even though when these severe sheds come up it affects everywhere, even the back), the hairs that have already been weakened from DHT simply can't stay on the scalp when my scalp becomes inflamed. So, if I manage to somehow fix my scalp issues, I'll still have normal hair loss to deal with, but will hopefully avoid these large sheds. It's just really hard to figure out what's causing my scalp so many problems.

I'm still getting inflamed lumps myself on my scalp, all confusing really.
It'd help if Biolabs mentioned possible effects of taking this stuff on their site frankly.

Ohlife,

On those 2 days where you get extreme shedding have you tried topical hydrocortisone? Also look into a topical feverfew extract with parthenolide(active ingredient). Try throwing on some aloe as well but mainly try the first two.

These 2 things should really halt shedding considerably.

sizzling - i'm not familiar with whay you have mentioned above, i take it you have used these thing's yourself? Topical Hydrocortisone - do you mean the stuff you get in a tube, H45, for dry skin etc?

Got some Minox foam today - jeez that might cause a shed on my hairline, but shit or bust, it's departing pretty rapidly lately anyway, least there's some chance of result's with Minox, can't rely on TRX2.

curiously there is very little talk of androgens and their preconditioned sensitivity with regards to AGA.

There is no debating the effects of hormones (DHT mostly) on sensitive androgen receptors.

k-channel inhibition through minoxidil has been shown to be successful at growing hair and maintaining on a short term basis, not in the long term.

I understand how most here are desperate but what makes people think that this product will work (if it does) 5 or 10 years down the line??

If its got a same 'but better' mechanism than minox why do people not start to see results earlier like minox??

Not h8ing

I find it very interesting that we're both losing our hairlines while taking TRX2. Are you losing only on the front line, or thinning throughout the frontal region as well?

Yeah least i'm not sailing in the ship alone - i'm finding the centre of my hairline (which has been sparse, is getting sparser) and i'm generally finding all along my hairline hair's are departing.

Interestingly - as i've mentioned before, in the furthest reaches of my temple hairline, i do see thin hair's seemingly growing, most likely dying hair's miniaturizing, but you never know?

There is a patch of fuzz that i'm sure is growing, but hell, it may have been like that sans TRX2 anyway?

I'm hoping this is the setting for new growth - it's usual to shed on the proven med's prior to follicle activity taking place, i'm led to believe? So finger's crossed on that.

hydrocortisone as whats in scalpicin. Its a mild topical corticosteroid.

Google feverfew extract to see if you can find a solution with the parthenolide.

Both these things are pretty good at halting shedding but the cortisone should only be used short term.

If this stops hair loss for 10 years I'll be pretty ****in happy

If this stopped my hairloss RIGHT NOW i'd be pretty ****in happy, never mind 10 yrs down the line.

From the way you guys are carrying on maybe we should all quit now

[danbob]

what im implying is that even if, by some miracle, this product manages to exceed the results of minoxidil by "targeting potassium ion channels for hair growth", there is still the problem of androgen receptors becoming sensitive and therefore hair will continue to fall after the initial regrowth phase associated with this mechanism.

Hence oral 5ar inhibitors like fin & dut or topical AAs like spiro & RU are still going to be necessary...The word supplement means "something added to complete a thing".

Champ, it's working for you, i'm pleased for you. Right now it's appearing to be making my cause fkn worse, you've got your opinion on it, i have mine. Subject to change.

And this has bugged me from day dot, since reading about TRX2 - where does DHT come into it in Whitfield's scheme of thing's?!
