One research study has shown that the use of aromatherapy can help to encourage hair to grow on spots of the scalp that are bald. In particular the essential oils lavender, rosemary, cedarwood and thyme when mixed with jojoba oil can stimulate the growth of hair. This recipe includes three drops of thyme, three drops of lavender, three drops of cedarwood, three drops of rosemary, 1/8 cup of grapeseed oil and 1/8 cup of jojoba oil. All you need to do is to mix all ingredients together and then apply several drops to your scalp. Do this every night before going to bed and massage the mixture gently into the scalp for a period of three to five minutes, avoiding the eye area.

Guys,

Just bought Propecia  or also known as finasteride by MSD. Price RM150.00 for 28 tablets. The best offer so far.

According to the Pharmacist. the first 3 months of consuming those pills, your balding process will significantly decreased or stop and new hair will start growing and give it another 3 months or so to see visible results of full hair.

Since my case is at early stage, it is best for me to start now rather later when it is too late.

I've heard about the side effects. But the percentage are too low. So I thought, why just  I give it a try?

Will come here and report the progress in 3 months time. Hopefully to see some good results.

By the way, I have few friends who is sharing the same problem as mine. Luckily I act fast. I started to use mild shampoo about 6 months ago (herb shampoo is the best). Wash my hair daily. Drink lot of water. Do some sports and control my diet (avoid oily food). The balding process start to slow down even though it never stop. Unlike my friend who reluctant to anything about it, is getting balder than ever and now he had to wearing cap the whole time to cover it. Hopefully, if this medicine works for me, I might suggest him to try.

Anyone here taking Propecia? Mind to share?

Where u bought the pill from? RM150 is cheap, I'm paying RM175 for a box. I have been using Propecia for 6 months already and my hair drop problem stoped and now can see many baby hair growing. 

THe medication to reverse MALE PATTERN BALDNESS a.k.a Botak tengah or something which genetic inheritance is the culprit, MINOXIDIL is the answer. So basically if you spot ur dad is bald in certain regions in his head just like how my dad do, means sooner later you will be like him.. Sorry to freak some of you out but this is fact.. LoL

Tendency To Hair Loss Inherited From The Mother

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2005/...50520172151.htm

ScienceDaily (May 20, 2005) - It begins with receding hairlines, the forehead becomes higher, the hair at the back of the man's head gets thinner and thinner. Every second man suffers from greater or lesser hair loss. There are hardly any successful counter-measures - despite an enormous range of obscure lotions and tinctures.

It has long been suspected that hereditary factors are important in causing hair loss. However, up to now it was unclear which genes are involved. The researchers in the team headed by Professor Markus N�then of the Life & Brain Centre of the Bonn University Clinic and Dr. Roland Kruse of the Skin Clinic of D�sseldorf University Clinic seem to have now discovered one of the factors responsible for the first time.

For several years the researchers had searched nationwide for families in which several men were affected by hair loss. In blood samples taken from the volunteers they then looked for candidate genes - and eventually discovered them: in their initial step they succeeded in narrowing down the search to a series of areas on various chromosomes. In an area where the largest contribution was suspected lay the gene for the androgen receptor. "One variant of this gene was found among men who suffered from premature balding at a very early stage very much more often than among men who still had a full head of hair when over 60," Professor N�then says.

More androgen receptors in the scalp

Probably the genetic variant results in more androgen receptors in the scalp. "Our findings permit two explanations," Axel Hillmer from Prof. N�then's team explains. "Either more androgen receptors are formed among the men affected, or the variant of the receptor which develops as a result of the genetic change is more stable and is not broken down so quickly. Both mechanisms can lead to the effect of the androgens becoming greater, which in turn brings about hair loss."

The findings are also interesting for the aspect of how hair loss is inherited. The gene for the androgen receptor lies on the x chromosome. Men always inherit the x chromosome from their mother. In many cases men therefore take after their grandfather on their mother's side rather than their father. However, this defect is not simply caused by one gene: "We have indications that other genes are involved which are independent of the parents' sex," Prof. N�then stresses. The hereditary defect can therefore sometimes also be passed on directly from father to son. Bald men wanted

In order to identify more genes involved the research team is searching for more volunteers. "Men under 40 with severe hair loss can take part," Dr. Kruse says. "If they have a brother who is affected and the parents are also prepared to give blood samples, so much the better. Volunteers taking part in the study will, of course, be paid for their assistance."
