Follisket,

The update and pictures are MUCH appreciated. It's hard to compare pics because they are not side by side (even then it's a bitch). But, they will be useful no doubt as time goes by. I will even venture to say the last temple picture looks like an improvement?

No itching and much reduced shedding is a dream for some. Very happy for you!

How long would you say that is took before you saw the reduction in shed/itch. Was it pretty immediate?

Hey guys, I just received my OC from Kane today. The certificate that it came with says its "OC-salted" even though I ordered the ethanol version. Did yours say this too?
It also says it expires on June 24, 2015. Not sure if this is a type error or what

I didnt actually read the paperwork (i should have before I threw it out) but my little bag says "OC Ethanol" not sure about the expiration date though. I only have been using for about 3 days now. When does it take full effect to stop the itch? My itching def went somewhat down but I tried 2% last night and still had some itching today..debating on going up to 3%.

I contacted the Kane Shop and they verified that all was good with the OC shipment.

I tried my first batch last night. Unfortunately this morning my shedding still looked like the same normal amount. Perhaps I didn't use enough for complete coverage, ill try more tonight.
Ill keep you all posted of the results, good or bad

I'm not sure why my previous posts are not showing..but I upped my OC to 2% and noticed a bigger difference in shedding. Little to no itch today at all. Try upping it to 2% (20mg of OC).

Tubzy, after you upped the % did you notice a the reduction in shedding instantly, like the next day? or did it take a few days for it to kick in?

Some of my post haven't been appearing either for some reason

Well ive been on OC for a week now . Unfortunately my shedding is still coming out at the current rate. I started at 1% then moved up to 2% and even made larger batches to give more scalp coverage. Nothings helping. Even a pre derma roll session hasn't helped.

This is so depressing. Why isn't this helping me at all. Derma rolling, RU, minox, neogenic, copper peptides, emu oil, indomethacin, Avodart, fin......NOTHING SLOWS DOWN THE LOSS AT ALL. Am I the only sucker that responds to nothing.

I, not sure what else I can possible do to turn this around

Are you a diffuse thinner bud? How long do they say OC takes to work? It's meant to be pretty instant isn't it? Within a few days? Either way a week might now be long enough to assess the success rate of it. Hang in there bro.

Champpy,

What did Kane say about the June 24, 2015 expiration date? What does the powder look like, does it dissolve completely in the ethanol?

Try 3%. There is another poster who uses OC for awhile now who uses that amount. Don't give up yet.
