Trx2?

[AgainstThis]

Minox DOES work and if you're an early NW, you'll possibly see a few gains in the front and the temples.

What is an absolute bitch about it, is the twice daily appplication and the greasy, horrid hair it leaves you with. Even the foam -the most expensive form of minox available- will leave some residue and is best suited to short hairstyles.

Add to that the fact that the minute you stop applying it, you start losing what you grew AND the fact that it loses efficacy over the years and the end package is much ado about nothing. If we lived in dark caves and never had to go out, it'd be a viable solution.

But imagine dates. Girlfriends running their fingers through greasy minoxidiled hair. It's just inconvenient.

Any idea if your crown area is filling out AgainstThis?

[AgainstThis]

My crown has always been solid as ****, I can extract a toupee for someone from there

I'm taking TRX2 for my hereditary frontal balding, I take after my father and his father, both perfect NW3 Widow Peakers. That's what I'm trying to avoid.

Plus, TRX2 isn't supposed to work on the vertex, or at least, so Whitfield says.

[AgainstThis]

And in case you were asking about minox & the crown, yes, it works really good for the crown area.

Generally speaking, the easiest areas to achieve regrowth are the crown/vertex and the hardest, the front/temples.

Zoidberg, I will post up my before pics in the results thread. I don't have anything positive to report though. I'm getting my hair cut this weekend, which will be the first time since I started taking TRX2, we'll see if the person that cuts my hair notices anything.

A bit off track, but I remember just a few years ago that I loved to get haircuts, now I have to say that it is an absolutely awful experience as I can usually see more visible loss within the 5-6 weeks that I go between cuts.

How does nizoral compare to minoxidil? Is it a good enough substitute? My scalp has been itchy anyway so maybe (if it works for loss) I'll get 2 birds with 1 stone

[AgainstThis]

There is no comparison, they work synergistically.

ANY man with hairloss should use nizoral shampoo twice a week. Even if he doesn't follow any other regimen, it'll somewhat halt the progress of the hairloss. Some apply Nizoral/Fungoral cream to the scalp (2%) as a substitute for minox, and they say the results are pretty much the same.

Again though, greasy hair, can't really go anywhere, benefits disappear once you stop using.

But there's no reason for you not to have it in your bathroom supplies, it's the cheapest anti-hairloss thing you'll ever come across and it WORKS

Is the 1% nizoral fine? Or should I go with the 2% which I think is prescription only

[ohlife]

Well, if you have - like me - a sensitive scalp, then the prolonged usage of minoxidil becomes untenable, both due to the irritation and resulting lack of regrowth from the shed/lack of continued maintenance. Also, the short-term shed that occurs before you become to this realisation can be horrific (I was losing around 300 hairs a wash for a week at least). Different people can react in different ways to different products (which is a much more realistic tenet than the one that states that 'everyone reacts to things differently', which is stupid and false).

My biggest fear is NW7.. I mean even with NW5 I know that especially since I have thick hair in the back and on the back of my neck that I could restore to a receded NW2 or 3 hairline, which I don't mind since I've had that my whole life. I wanna do everything I can to prevent + maintain until Histogen or whoever releases something monumental.

This is the TRX2 thread.

[AgainstThis]

Indeed it is. So we'll stick to TRX2.

But as a footnote, use 2%, it is commercially available and does not require a prescription. It alone will have little effect on your problem though.

I might as well cash in my corporate troll reputation on this board and suggest you jump on TRX2 while the going is good and they still ship product

[ohlife]

So for what reasons, in dot points if you don't mind, do you think they'll go under? If they believe the product works (which, if you believe so, they must), surely the cost of manufacturing according to demand and the minuscule cost of running a website would be the most feasible outcome whilst they try to prove with tests that the product indeed works? you're opinion alone would be much appreciated. Cheers dude.

[AgainstThis]

Your arguments are quite sound, actually.

What worries me, is that they've given up even on their minimal customer support. No site updates, no answering email, literally NOTHING. It's a good thing they still ship, but from a business standpoint, it makes no sense at all.

They have this wonder-pill on their hands, they tell no one, they don't advertise, hell, they don't even update their site.

It's almost as if they are trying hard NOT to sell this.

[ohlife]

Point taken, but if they truly believe it works, they won't simply 'give up' - the most likely explanation is that they're waiting for some kind of patent etc. in order to market it properly, or for someone to promote/sell it for them.

On the other hand, if the pill doesn't work, and they've discovered this fact, that could obviously be another reason...although it'd be a pretty half ass'd attempt at a scam.

Your results are certainly one of the most pivotal factors in what makes this so confusing though... Mine's on its way, so I'm hoping for the best.
