Follicept Trials- Discussion About Trial Only

[follicept]

Here we go, getting this started. Will post video on Monday 27 Apr 2015 of me beginning the trial, and will post #FolliceptFriday updates of myself and other convenience sample members as we go along.

Devon are you going to get a buzz cut? Do you have any vertex balding or you are just receding?

Vertex, receding, and I think a little diffuse thinning. I rrreaaalllyyy don't want to get a buzz cut so I will try to avoid that, but will cut it shorter. Like I said, results should be pretty darn clear. But I will do what I have to.

You'd do the trial a disservice without a buzzcut. I've seen countless of "been X months on XYZ1234 that I ordered from China, does my hair look thicker?" It's impossible to tell when there's too much hair. Hair can be cut to let you comb over thin areas or vertex. You can add some fibers to make it thicker. And so on and so on. Buzzcut so it's possible to see existing thinning and any potential regrowth.

Unless it's super dramatic growth, it's almost impossible to tell results when you aren't shaved...

At the very least, look at the pilox photos (you need something to stablize head and camera in same exact position + identical lighting). AND make sure you get your hair cut to the same EXACT length for every photo update... e.g. buzz with a 6 shaver before every photo session.

Honestly, it may be worth trying to find somebody in the area that does/has a trichoscan. There must be a university or dermatologist or somebody with one...

Can't start a fire without a spark.

Please EVERYONE, including Arashi and Swooping, keep this thread 1000% objective. We only care about photo/video results here and nothing else. Please reserve your speculation and arguments for the other thread

I do not think you should get a buzz cut but I do think that you should cut your hair very short. Perhaps 1/2 an inch long or even 1/4 of an inch. The thing is that a lot of medicine gets lost in the hair if your hair has length plus it's hard to determine whether or not there's new hair if the hair has length.

I know many people will be eager to respond to Arashi's asinine comment, but please if everyone ignores him he will stop.. don't fuel the fire

I read in the other thread that you will be applying the medicine 3 times per week? Are you sure that's often enough?
