  • Vitamin D and Hair Loss.

    It's particularly important that anyone undergoing chemo gets their vitamin d status optimal before this occurs. (don't rely on your doctors to get your vit d right though)
    Protection against chemotherapy-induced alopecia.

    Once you've lost your hair no amount of vit d will restore it though.

  • If you are going bald there is honestly very little (if anything) you can do to stop this. SLowing it may happen if you shave your hair simply becuase there is a greatly reduced amount of stress on the folicles.
    I'd recommend you embrace your oncoming baldness, why does it have to be a bad thing? My dh is 32 and has no hair at all now on the top of his head. Personally I welcomed his increased baldness as I for one think its really hot!! He used to joke that her thought I was secretly rubbing it off in his sleep! Obviously I wasn't but I did get him to take the scary shaving step. Once he shaved it off he realised how much better he looked and felt much more confident.

    Whatever you do, don't try to cover it up, or part hair over it.

    Met my wife after going bald, so some women obviously don't care.

    try regaine you can get it from boots
  • There is much that can be done and some is FDA approved.
    1st and easy thing is to try Nizoral shampoo or Revita.
    Next use 5% minoxidil.
    The main decision is - do you go for Propecia (Finasteride) 1mg/day or the better but not yet approved Avodart (Dutasteride) 0.5mg/day although good results have been seen taking 2 caps/week.

    Try www.hairlosstalk.com for more info.

    Most moneysavers go to www.inhousepharmacy.com (the USA site) and buy generics.

    There are a couple on Fin 5mg Proscar copies that can be split into 5 pieces or use Dutas instead of Avodart.

    All the above are genuine and the main drugs to combat MPB. I would not trust anything else at the moment. I 'risked' dutas with great results.

    Have you ever used http://www.drugdelivery.ca/s41708-s-AVODART.aspx? They look genuine and are much cheaper, but I'm worried aobut some negative reviews on there. Not sure if I should risk it, or just go with the company you suggested.
