I have used Nioxin before...it does a fine work with cleansing your scalp but it does not promote hair growth..you will need other medications

ya.. is tiring.. get fed up and dont feel like bother about it... -.-

Well it's tiring and I've tried to give up a couple of times..like a lot of other people I don't have the handsome botak look so my only option is to find a right remedy for hair loss.

After using a few hair loss products and changing my diet, my hair has grown back up!! So from almost bald a few years back now my head is full..

Nioxin is good for thickening and cleansing of your scalp area but the product itself does not stop hair loss. What Nioxin does is to create a clean scalp environment plus using herbal and trigger methods to improve your hair thickness but with the presence of DHT, the main cause behind Pattern Baldness, you will still continue to lose your hair.

Hair loss is a medical condition and it's important to always see a doctor first. Most mistakes people make is that they do not pay attention to it until it's too late. The later it gets, the harder to treat it so I suggest if you still got hair on your head, you better start doing something about it now.

Dear Boxhead,

You should start with finding the cause of your hair loss..then head to Preventing Hair Loss and so on..I hope you get the right information that you will need..

If there is a Big M there then it's mostly Pattern Baldness. Pattern Baldness or genetic hair loss to some is the direct cause of DHT and other related factors like stress and malnutrion. DHT stands for Dihydrotestosterone..a male hormone created by Testosterone which female also have in lesser quantity. DHT accumulates in your scalp and cause hair minituarization and eventually falls out. The only way to stop it is to remove DHT from your scalp and to control your lifestyle.

There are only 2 FDA products approved for treating DHT and hair loss..which is Propecia and Rogaine. You can get propecia from a prescription from your doctor. Rogaine you can probably get it in any pharmacy counter( not on the shelves) you got to ask the pharmacist for it. Bear in mind these treatments are not cheap.

Dear Boxhead,

Yes propecia might cause some sexual effects when it take it because it limits the DHT formation. However not everyone faces it and I don't see any problems with my sex life even I am taking it for almost 3 years now. Most of the complains regarding Propecia comes from your own mental perception that makes you think the med can make u suffer during sex. Anyway, you can always stop the treatment if you think it affects you.

Regarding my lifestyle plans I have written a section on Preventing Hair Loss as well as suitable Hair Loss Treatments in my website pages. Just click on the link in my signature and you can find the answers there.

Cheers

mmm...better to understand the situation early whether ur hair loss is genetically, cause by oil block or unhealthy lifestyle (eating).
I was having this kind of problem that my hair losses was M shape. My problem is that my hair pores was blocked by oil thus become a skin coz not taken care of and dono what caused it that time.

Now I realise that, apart from that, I need to take care of my food intake. Most of our body need proteins and vitamins. We are encouraged to take >40 different types of food daily but we can't do that coz of our environment. Thus, that's where supplement comes into my life. to help my problem and increase my immune system as well.

If u r using gel or spray, have a better check around whether it will damage the hair or not and read the contents. Don't simply use it coz it is branded. For those dyeing hair one oso the same.
