The Dude is beginning to lose his beautiful locks
Anyone here have any success with hair growth products?
I've been looking around the internet and Provillus seems to be getting a lot of good reviews. 7/6/2008 11:47:30 AM |

i used nioxin once....it doesnt really grow it back as much as it just keeps it from thinning...you got to get 3 different steps(i only got the first 2)
overall its an obvious waste of money and cheating nature is gay...embrace it rather than trying to stop it] 7/6/2008 11:51:54 AM |

post a pic of how bad you are thinning/balding
seriously bro...its probably not that bad...it makes you look metrosexual-ish to worry about your hair that much

The Dude All American 6502 Posts user info edit post |
it's not that bad yet but I know it'll be bad in another few years
I'm just trying to keep what I have and not lose much more 7/6/2008 12:28:28 PM |
ScHpEnXeL Suspended 32613 Posts user info edit post |
yea i think that's primarily what all those products do. i read a little about rogaine one time bc a friend was going bald and it said it'd do pretty good to maintain what youalready have. i also read that it makes your hair like a nasty almost greasy feeling all the time and some ppl said they'd rather be balled than greasy all the time
luckily i got the "never gonna lose any hair on my head" genes 7/6/2008 12:49:58 PM |

nioxin definitely makes your hair feel more greasy and slick...i almost kinda thought my hair felt less full with it than without it 7/6/2008 1:11:32 PM |

Propecia
it blocks the DHT which is why most people lose their hair.
If you start early, the better the results will be. 7/6/2008 7:04:42 PM |

i've heard propecia has sexual side effects... 7/6/2008 7:11:46 PM |
raiden All American 10505 Posts user info edit post |
yeah, it does according to their site.
possibility of decrease in libdo and sperm.
however, you can take viagra or cialis for the libdo.
I think it would be worth it. 7/6/2008 7:14:55 PM |

viagra and cialis just give you a raging boner.. they dont actually make you want to do it necessarily 7/6/2008 7:53:48 PM |

5-alpha reductase inhibitors will only keep your hair from thinning out even more; it does nothing to cause hair to regrow. The reason most of the products on the market seem like a waste of money is because they don't combine 5-alpha reductase inhibitors with minoxodil.
Neither of these drugs are scheduled by the DEA, so you could try to find them on the gray market or order them directly from a compounding company in order to save some money. 7/6/2008 8:31:46 PM |

Im like the dude. Im turning 24 this week and have been slowly thinning for a while. You cant really tell when its dry, but if its wet or I lift some, you can see.
Ive heard from a lot of people that scalp massages are the shit. Like twice a week Ill really dig my fingers into my skull for 5-6 minutes in the shower with my shampoo.
Also, Ive heard taking Biotin (b vitamin, b-7 i think?) is supposed to help for some. Never taken.
Ive talked to people who have been on propecia and one guy said it was great and that the other side effect was a slightly lower sex drive. The other guy hated it from sexual side effects and went off.
For shampoo, I just use that basic over the counter 'Vive for Men' for thinning/fine hair shampoo. You know, the one with that stupid basketball head commercial. 7/7/2008 1:19:31 AM |

ive been losing it for awhile and I turn 24 this year i never tried propecia though...maybe I should have. 7/7/2008 1:28:44 AM |
raiden All American 10505 Posts user info edit post |
yeah, the propecia is win.
even if you're thinning now, and thinking it won't be that bad in the late 20s, still when you hit late 20s you'll be like "damn, I wish I had done something back in the day". 7/7/2008 1:20:29 PM |

i already wish that it could be worse I guess but its extremely noticeable now and I've never liked keeping my hair that short either so double frown. how much is that with prescription? 7/7/2008 1:21:45 PM |
raiden All American 10505 Posts user info edit post |
if I remember correctly I pay about 70-80 bucks/per month.
there is a generic version, but I don't think its as baller as the real deal, so I don't mind paying for that.
it does take time to notice benefits though. 7/7/2008 1:30:44 PM |

Based on the nyt article the other day i paid 65 to some website to have a doctor prescribe me oral minoxidil 2.5mg pills. Prescription was $5, got 60 pills. No refills, hope i don’t have to pay 65 per online prescription or i’ll have to figure out a less costly way. Didn’t feel like going in person just to be like yeah “give me a prescription to minoxidil”. Copay for that was 30, figured worth $35 extra to have the prescription in 15 minutes 8/26/2022 9:27:55 PM |
