Hair Loss Treatments

The_Hurricane

Hi,

Short of a transplant does anyone know of any reasonable hair loss treatments? I've used provillius for a while but it doesn't seem effective. I want to restore some minor receding at the front of my hair.

Thanks

Any suggestions here, is it worth seeing my doctor?

Not sure all those drugs really work and once you stop the hair will reverse.

have you tried those concealers or a hair system?

Yes there is one medication which almost guarantees hair re-growth and/or stops hair loss: propecia (finasteride 1mg). Been on this for a few years now and bald patch has completely gone:p Not cheap though (around a quid per tablet) and its private prescription only.

Only two medically proven to work, finasteride and minoxidil. I use them both. You can pick them up fairly cheaply (without compromising on the quality) if you shop around a bit.

Out of everything mentioned this seems to get the better reviews online and is least dangerous. Has anyone else had any success with this?

I've just started propecia, have been using Kirkland minoxidil for about 7 months and use Nizarol shampoo

What about a hair system?
