Advice Needed/ Appreciated!

Hello and thank you for taking the time to read my story/ post. I am here to ask for advice, educate myself and certainly hoping to receive some recommendations.

I am 29 yrs old. It seems I began balding some years ago but much more noticably within the last two years or so. I find myself thinking about it very often (understatement). Sure, I know there are other things in life more important and I shouldn't let it overwhelm me.... nevermind, who am I kidding, I borderline obssess about this all the time. I'm always in the mirror and when I'm not wearing a hat, always look at peoples eyes to look up there and can tell some just don't say anything, but then, there's your a$$hole friends who have to make a comment and I quite dislike that. I am also in sales and it's hurtin my confidence a bit, and other areas of my life.

I am currently only using Rogaine Foam and Nizoral. No more Propecia for me. I am one of those people who have been severly, negatively affected by it. Please, I don't want to start that arguement/ debate in this thread. I know myself and my body and there has been a major change coinciding with the time I used the drug. But, let's just not go there.


So anyway, now that I've probably lost half the people who opened this thread, I would just like some info about the other products available and what your experiences are with them. I never knew there were so many until just the last few days!

So, now I'm lost with all the choices/ options of products!

It seems some information websites/ forums really push the use of Nizoral. Does this product work as well as those claims? I use it every shower (the whole time), 3-4 times per week. Could it help to fill the void of not using Propecia somewhat?

Can Rogaine work without Propecia, but with Nizoral?

Are there other products that have a similar effect of Propecia that don't screw with my body? That I can use in place of it? What about Revivogen, Crinagen, folligen? Can they pick up the slack of not using Propecia?

Please take a look at the pictures and tell me what you think I could add to my 2-product regimine. Also, do you think it would be more, or less noticable if it was cut shorter? I'm just scared if I do, it will look so much more thin and all that will be seen is scalp.

Does it look as if I had a sudden Rogaine shed from the pictures dated 6/30 compared to the pictures dated 7/5? Or is it just me...

Many thanks!

From what I have read on here you need to be on Propecia and Minoxidil to have the best chance of regrowing hair, Nizoral is used to combat dry itcy scalp caused by Minoxidil.

With you having sides you may try one of the new shampoos out there, Nanogen have one

Hi and welcome to the forum.

The shampoo you mention all have good reviews, i would try some out with the Rogaine and see what happens.

I know Sl on here uses natural treatments which may work for you.

Have a look n the meds and products sections.

Thanks for sharing your story on here.

Thanks for the recommendations!!! I have heard a lot of mixed reviews about Revivogen, Crinagen, folligen... a lot of people seem to say that they do not have much effect as they do not act where Testosterone is actually converted in DHT and such.

I really wish they did offer an alternative. If you are saying that you have heard of some people using them that have had a good response then I would definitely try it out though...

Thanks for helping me!!

Cut it a lot shorter for a start would look much better. If the hair looks a little thin so what, shorter cuts can give the illusion of more on top anyway .

Hi welcome to the forum, I agree with BM regarding maybe trying the natural approach like saw palmetto..... why not give the shampoo Regenpure a try, it contains saw palmetto but it is something that is very new to this forum and some members are only just starting to try it.

Good luck pal please stick around.
