    okay I know RU seems to be one, but anything else? I'm a college student and it would suck having to mix/worry about keeping the RU in good condition frequently in my dorm..

    Minox and a perfect diet(check out immortal hair's regimen) plus nizoral and a concealer, my future regimen as I recently dropped fin. I am expecting a shed at the back(where I wasnt using minox) but with the help of concealers and a good diet I hope I'll be able to have a decent head of hait for a few more years and hopefully an alternative to fin comes out by then(histogen aderans whatever they call it)

    this plus minox and niz and a concealer and a healthy diet= certainly not as potent as fin but it's better than nothing for sure it will at least slow down the loss and you will not mess up your hormones in any way

    Some claim that Saw Palmetto is a natural DHT blocker. I have never seen any data to support this claim, but it is a natural supplement and might be worth a try.

    Thank you very much Dr. Charles, I saw that Dr. Cole had that on his website as a hairloss fighter at 320mg a day...I'm going to give it a try!

    Don't bother, I was took it for six months straight and all I experienced was shedding the entire time. I didn't regrow anything as far as I could tell.

    I would not bother with saw palmetto.

    Go with RU, CB, or beta-sitosterol topical serum mayhaps.
