R1 Searched 'Hair AND Loss' and NOTHING

Rubbing pig feces on your scalp is a miracle cure. Hard to find fresh pig feces in the city, however.

Put this in the Google search bar:

Why does the site's search not work?

The site's search is great for recent topics. Not so much for older discussions. Use Google in that instance, like R4 showed.

Immersing it in a tub of human urine preserves strengthens the follicles and decreases shedding. It also adds a lustrous yellow tinge to the hair.

Jay Pharaoh did a radio interview after he got bounced from SNL. He mentioned that he did a laser treatment and said it was very helpful.

Laser treatment? Do they do skin resurfacing on the scalp now or what?

apparently wasabi shampoo works

Embracing natural aging.

Biotin supplements will make the hair you have left grow faster, thicker and stronger. You will notice this in a few days.

I think the only thing that truly works well is transplants.

B-vitamins, MSM, topical caffeine and ceramides should make it stronger and thicker but they can't regrow the hair you've already lost. You need Minoxidil or a transplant for that.

Speaking of hair loss, I saw a picture of Trump(when he was wearing the ball cap)and it was obvious how thin his hair was. He'd taken the hat for a moment and someone took a picture and it looked like plugs or a weave to me. It's not just a combover and scalp reduction.

Hair transplants work, but they have limited applications in hair loss because of the trade off between achieving density and achieving coverage. So the procedure works but only when there's limited bald area to cover.

What's more, there are few surgeons who are both competent in the discipline and ethical enough to refuse the percentage of cases they should, which is probably more than of 80% of cases, based on these limiting factors.

If you look online at results, you will mostly see the best outcomes of the ~20% who are good candidates for the procedure.

Look at Matthew McConaughey, Jeremy Piven and Steve Carell. All transplants. All look great.

But they'll need touchups periodically, until they need wigs.

Interesting. I didn't realize that they would need touchups. I wonder if they have to take Propecia and/or Rogaine?

McConaughey wears a skull cap weave with transplants at the front.

Only one of those three have had hair transplant surgery, r17. Here's what he looks like.

McConaughey's hairline is Hollywood magic, not hair transplants.

I've read that if you go to a skilled surgeon who knows what he's doing the results today can be very impressive.

Yes, r22, but with the caveat that the procedure his limitations in the amount of balding area it can cover. See my post at r17.

The simple fact is that the only thing that will keep you from losing more hair is propecia.

And FYI; any hair transplant doctor worth his salt will also prescribe propecia.

DL search never works right, thus the repetitive threads.

Finasteride helped filling in my crown after I noticed it was starting to thin. I also do Minoxidil, biotin, Viviscal, saw palmetto pills. Doesn't work on the front.

Ketoconazole 2% shampoo (prescription strength Nizoral) has been shown to work as well as minoxidil (Rogain) and it doesn't have to be used daily. And less messy.

OTC Nizoral (1% ketoconazole) may work as well. It showed great results when used with finasteride (Propecia) or dutasteride (Avodart).

R9 Go to 21:45 where Jay Pharaoh starts talking about his laser treatment.

Can't even spell his name right, so not credible.

The short answer, OP, is no. There are scams, scalp reductions, transplants, camouflage agents, weaves, and hairpieces.

I read the possible side-effects of Minoxidol, so no Rogaine for me.

r27, it really depends on when you started losing hair. The drug is meant to sustain what you have, not necessarily provide regrowth. That is why many don't see a huge amount of success in the front.

I had a hair transplant four years ago. I currently take Finisteride and then use Nioxin shampoo/conditioner every day. I'm mid 40's and I'm still pleased with the results.

One recommendation - have genes that promote hair growth. Being Italian American helped in my case. I'm in my 50's and still have a full head of hair.

I had bad reactions to both Minoxidil and propecia.

Minoxidil dried my scalp and caused issues.

I had all sorts of erectile issues with propecia. Fortunately, once I stopped it, everything went back to proper working order. I’d rather grow old gracefully with junk that works than have a full head of hair with a limp dick.

Finasteride. And I still get hardons.

Minoxidil for added insurance.

OP, check this out. Women swear by this.

R35, watch out when you hit 60.

I use minoxidil.

I tried propecia but it made my hard-ons feel weird (lost alot of sensation, which allowed me to last longer but it all felt weird) and friends say it changed my personality to be angrier.

So I stopped the pill

R35 actually being Italian can be a bad thing. Southern Italians seem to be more prone to baldness than other ethnicties. Especially the women as well. Strange to see Southern Italian women with their bald patches.

Cut your hair short and try to adopt a "Daddy" attitude.

If you're a Mary, then there is no hope.
