    Are you finally getting on fin, BB? I think most take the full dose just to be safe. There's really no data that shows the magical level of DHT inhibition where you will stop losing hair; everyone is different. Also, it is more convenient and fin is pretty cheap anyway.

    Wow so there really is very little difference between dosages. And no Aames, although my situation is desperate I am still holding off on propecia untill I see what minox does for me. Foolish? perhaps, but I am currently seeing a girl and this is pretty much the first time in my life that I am having regular sex so I don't want to take any chances at destroying it.

    While i respect your decision to not try Fin, that you are having regular sex this would be your best opportunity to try Fin and test whether you have sides.

    As you are NW 2,3, can i suggest you try massaging oil into scalp. This has been used for hundreds of years in our culture to keep hair thick. If you are interested then i can advise which oils.

    Well yeah but...then if I do get sides...very bad times. I am more of a NW2 but I am generally diffusing all over, my loss is pretty bad for my age and I can now longer grow it out and have been forced to buzz it down to a 1 mainly because my crown has drastically thinned out.

    I have actually been on Divine Herbal Hair Oil 2-3 times per week for about 5 months now and don't feel it has made much of a difference. What do you think about this product?? I never expected any regrowth or anything but I was hoping that it might help strengthen up some of my existing hair a little, it does make my scalp feel nice though and I have not noticed the mpb itch in a long time.

    Do you think the oils listed above are any good? Caster Seed Oil is in there as well, dunno how much they differ in effectiveness.

    I've been using a mixture of oils for a few years now, and i believe i have saved my hair.
    Read my post on massage oil scalp. Fin was just an extra precaution that has worked hopefully.
    I strongly believe you should take fin and then forget about it.
    You will get no sides
