Hair loss treatment anyone

My experience with one of the prescription medications (Rogaine) was mixed. It worked well for some people and hardly at all for others. Even for those who had little benefit, no-one dared to stop - "Imagine how bad it would be without this medication."

Some of us are at the age of hair loss I think. I'm getting there and am looking into Finasteride and Minoxidil, like those from hims with lots of ads online. I'm sure there are many other generic brands with their own Rx in house to prescribe. What do you guys take and who do you buy from? how do you like your experience?
It's all about genetics and there isn't much someone can apply to undo that.
 
I’ve been taking Finasteride for about 10 years for prostate. I’m 67 and have more hair now than when I was 40.
I’d gladly be bald in exchange for not having the other Finasteride side effects or prostate problems.

I am 61, my younger brother is 60. He used/uses these products (I think in combo). He still has some hair, while I look like Uncle Fester.

If I remember correctly, he did have side effects like low libido but did not care. (Just a joke here) He's more attractive to the ladies but wants them not. The women shun me, and I'm interested in them....

In reality, I don't find that having a bald head has any downsides what so ever. I love it and many women do too.

Is is my first choice, maybe not. But in the end it is nice and easy to keep clean and I've come to really like it. I've been bald since age 33. Being bald confident and muscular back then was absolutely an attractant.

I could be wrong and still have a full head of hair but I have taken the drug Finasteride for the prostate 5mg pill per day and how it was discovered that it helps with hair loss.
I understand that this is the standard of all drugs for hair loss. For hair loss I believe it is prescribed 1mg per day.
 
Rosemary oil is as effective as Rogaine...

I use ayurverdic shampoo to keep my hair and keep them from graying. Been doing it for over a decade.
 
I am single, and must deal with unwanted hair myself. All kinds of trimming gadgets here to get the job done.

At age 69, I still have my natural hair color. Older Brother was the same upon passing at age 75.
Had our 50th year class reunion in 1974. I was the only guy there that did not have gray or white hair. (or none at all) 😅

Love this response!! Made my day! THank you.
 
In my late 60's I found I was losing hair. Two things I have done stabilized my hair. I drastically increased my fiber intake (a variety of sources seems important) and added zinc to my diet. Hair loss stopped and my hair is less white and frail.

I was surprised how hard it was to add fiber to my diet and it was a slow process transitioning. I finally integrated step-one foods' concentrated whole food ingredients for other reasons (gut health, cholesterol), but the results include improved hair. They're designed to lower your cholesterol, but add ~6 g of fiber per serving. I also take one Areds2 softgel daily (although the per serving on the box is two) so as to not exceed the URL of zinc. Although Areds2 is a preventative for wet macular degeneration, my websearches turned out an alternative use. It's isn't commonly talked about, but it is informally known among nurses be protective of hair, for some drugs used in RA and cancer. I took the leap that it might help, and it seems to have.
 
Just a heads up, pulling out nose hair or ear hair can actually be danger due to infection risk which is riskier on the head.

"The "Triangle of Death": The area around the nose, extending to the corners of the mouth and including the upper lip, is often referred to as the "triangle of death" or "danger triangle." This area has a unique and direct connection to the brain via blood vessels. Infections in this area can potentially travel to the brain, leading to serious complications like cavernous sinus thrombosis, cellulitis, or even meningitis."
Your hair must be deeper rooted than mine--lol
 
I had a receding hairline at 20. At 25 I shaved it off and it's been that way for 28 years. I figure I've saved $1800 in shampoo and $6800 in haircuts over the years.

Every month my wife removes ALL my ear hair with tweezers for the past 25 years.

I would look like this guy with Guinness Book of World Record Holder long ear hair if left alone.
My eyebrows would look the same if not regularly trimmed.
