I'm about 1.5 weeks away from finishing my 2nd bottle and still shedding like a mofo. I'll take pics this weekend as I just got my hair cut, which is how I took my before pics. At the rate I'm losing hair, I may not get another 3 months after the first 3 is gone. There really won't be much to protect and I don't see this regrowing anything if it can't even slow down my hair loss. I am curious about the Nizorl 2%... are you guys getting prescriptions for that stuff? I tried to buy a bottle on drugstore.com and I need to send them a prescription in order to buy it.

Hey dude, were you shedding much before you started? i.e. has the trx2 simply failed to halt the shedding, or perhaps caused it?Comment

I've always shed a lot, it's not due to me taking the TRX2, although it also is showing that TRX2 has been ineffective on me so far. I'll lose anywhere from 45-90 hairs in the shower everytime. I first noticed my hairloss 3 years ago, it was in it's VERY early stages. It is now difficult for me to give the illusion of coverage on my scalp. I can actually see a difference in how much hair I've lost everytime I get my hair cut, which is about every 5 weeks. I wish this stuff would even give me the hope of it working.Comment

Yeah I've shed quite a lot for at least half of the time since I first noticed... Thing is, my scalp is also really irritated which I think may be behind the larger sheds... When my scalp feels good, I lose very little hair, whereas when it feels itchy and dry, I scratch, then hairs fall out. Lots of those hairs are reasonably thin, but about a third are just normal, so...
I'm trying to take care of my scalp before I expect to see any results from anything really.. How's your scalp condition may I ask? Also, nizoral 2% might be a good idea.Comment

You definitely do NOT need a prescription for Nizoral!
If you're in Europe, you can get Fungoral 2% at your corner pharmacy, 6.80 a bottle and it lasts for a good couple of months.
Also, from the way you describe it, you may have a really aggressive form of hairloss that TRX2 is not even designed to treat. It works for NW 2-4 essentially and from what I understand works best when taken in the early stages/onset of this goddamn plague.
And yes, Life, give it time and you'll get even more perspective changes. In time, the new you emerges and you realize that nothing is paricularly wrong, you're just getting older and your previously immortal skin is feeling it, one hair at a time.
Goddamn thirties

AgainstThis, any chance of seeing some more temple close ups?
If it's growing at the rate you claim I think we'd see a difference already,like all your mates- try and get those short dark hairs that can be seen in the second load of pics you posted.
You seem to be an authority on hair loss and treatments-hope I'm wrong.Comment

*laughing*
Not an authority, not by a long shot.
I have an academic background and I've studied obsessively everything related to MPB over the last couple of years, getting to know the enemy and the such. Also, being Greek, we have a fantastic and merciless hairlossgr.com community that has proven to be a treasure of information over the years.
It's really simple.
If you are losing hair, you start using Ketoconazole 2% shampoo. That's a no brainer. If you don't care about sexual side effects, you get on Propecia. If you don't care about greasy, shitty looking hair, you get on minoxidil. If you are desperate for something that works, without ****ing everything else up, you jump on the TRX2 bandwagon.
Hair transplants, unless done at an age when your loss has stabilized are potentially the biggest waste of time and money you can invest in. Plus, you need to be on Propecia for life. Hair transplants are anything but the solution at the moment, unless you want to fill in some temples when you know that nothing else will recede. Even then, the transplanted hairs may just not grow.
So. TRX2.
And I'll post pics around April 10-12, close to the three month mark (The 17th). The hair is very stable right now, not losing and gaining in strength and volume. The big bet for me right now is whether or not I'll start seeing anything IMPRESSIVE.Comment

Its funny, because I currently use/had:
Propecia (Past 4 years w/ mild side effects of slightly decreased libido)
Ketoconazole 1% (started 1.5 months ago --used only on crown)
Minoxidil (started 1.5 moths ago -- used ony on crown)
HT (2nd HT March 2, 2011 -- 2,000 grafts frontal third)
TRX2 (Started 10 days after HT)
Looks like I'm on a mission.
Propecia
I have been on propecia for a long time now and I have to say that if it wasn't for it I would probably be very bald right now. My hair is fine to begin with and it has definitely kept most of my hair. However, there are side effects that I have noticed. I have decresed libido, but not to the point where I can't get perform or anything. Another is maybe like 5-10% gyno. I'm not sure if it is because I've been working out, but I'm starting P90X workout program soon so we'll see what happens.
Ketoconazole
I started Ketoconazole/Minox I would say about a 1.5 months ago and it is DEFINITELY working. I use both only on the crown region (because I've used it all over once I had a severe shed and quit like a girl). But I'm back on now and I've been using it on the crown where I'm thinning a bit (and a smaller than a dime size balding spot at the vertex) and it seems to have improved it a lot so far. The Keto I use 2-3 times a week, and the Minox I apply only once at night before I sleep because of the sticky factor. I have very fine hair and it clumps it and is slightly greasy. So far so good.
HT
My HT was on March 2, 2011 and everything looks great so far. 2,000 grafts in the frontal third. I had one about 3 years ago (1,200 grafts) and was disappointed with it. This time I did it right by researching and choosing Dr. Konior who is one of the best (rated top 5% in Chicago area of all Docs). Keep you guys posted on how the results turn out. Its been about 22 days and a lot of the implanted grafts have stuck around and even growing...could it be due to the help of the TRX2? I know my first HT, my hairs shed relatively quickly...not sure but if they keep growing and dont shed, that would be astounding (though some grafts have shed so far).
TRX2
Started the treatment 10 days after my HT. Hopefully if this stuff works, it will support the hairs surrounding my HT. Then by that time, hopefully Hisogen will make its course, but I'm just getting ahead of myself now.
I probably have a few more days till my bottle is done. I began TRX2 for a couple of days before my HT, but then stopped it because of my HT approaching and you cant be on any supps due to blood thinning and bleeding during the procedure.
All of these things I feel have helped me to keep a lot of what I have today. Who knows wher I'd be if not for the above treatments I've been committed to so far.
As far as bullshitters on here, I believe Against, JCM, Fixed, Giffen seem like reliable sources for results. The positive comments made on TRX2 thus far are uplifting.Comment

Deluxe, I salute thee, you are one determined mother****er
And KeepTheHair you cannot deny that anything but the regaine foam makes your hair sticky and/or greasy. And if it's thin in the first place, good luck going out on a date or looking presentable at work. It obviously works, BUT.
So yeah, looking at TRX2 with the sweetest eyes right now.Comment
