With price like that, you'll go broke faster than you can regrow your hair. It's better to deal with hair loss alone than having to deal with both hair and money problems.

Hello po mga friends.

26 plng ako pero napanot na ako. Wala sa lahi namin ang napapanot or manipis ang buhok. Kaya nga di ko alam bakit ako nagkaganito eh. Well ang work ko kasi is very stressful pero nagtataka naman ako bakit yung mga officemates ko di naman sila nakakalbo.

Napansin ko yung hairfall ko mga 25 plang ako. Gumamit ako ng Ultimate topical lotion for 6 or 7 months ata yun pero wlang pagbabago.
Hininto ko xa pero d n ako naglalagas at sa crown area plang yung numinipis saken. Then after 3 months, naglagas ule so gumamit ako ng Minoxidil 5% kasi eto ang advised saken ng dermatologist. Umiinom din ako ng Biotin capsule (food supplement). Tuwing gabi ko lng nilalagay and minoxidil kasi sa umaga nalelate ako pag naglalagay ako. Ginamit ko for 5-6 months ata yun pero wla lang din.

Then gumamit ako ng Novuhair, 2 weeks ko plng ginamit pero grabe ang nilagas ng hair ko! Pati middle at front area nalagas! Hininto ko na agad tpos nagpaderma ako. Grabe visible na visible na yung pagkapanot ko!

Nagsisi ako sana d ko nlng gnamit yung Novuhair.

Sa ngayon gumagamit ako ng Minoxidil pa din as advised ng derma ko. Tpos ang oral ko eh Propecia, Biotin capsule at Circulan para sa good blood circulation.

Sa ngayon, 24 days ko ng ginagamit ang ganitong treatment. Wla pang good results so far.

Ang tanong ko mga Sir/Mam eh tama lng bang Minoxidil ang gamitin ko for topical? Sa oral naman eh Propecia, Biotin capsule at circulan capsule? Naglalagas pa din ang hair ko at madami sila, sabi ng derma ko normal lng daw yun dahil sa nagrereact ang body ko sa propecia.

Any advise mga friends?
Post Merge: Aug 04, 2012, 09:33 PMAdditional nga pla sa treatment ko, magwa-1 week ko ng ginagamit yung Velform Power Grow Comb.

Anyone na nakaexperience na ng Velform Power Grow Comb at propecia?

[batang_manyakis]

Any news about sa mga Castor oil users? Mahaba naba buhok nyo at kumapal? Gaano katagal bago masabing effective ang castor oil? Gamit ko pa din sa ngaun eh Laser comb at propecia. Sinasamahan ko pa ng Biotin at Malunggay capsule. Tpos minoxidil 5% every night lng

Your username says it all, since you're a young "manyakis", you have an over abundance of testosterone which has a by-product called DHT or Dihydrotestosterone, the main culprit in Androgenic Alopecia. According to my sexy female trichologist before (when I had my Androgenic Alopecia treated in a hair center), the younger you are when you started to experience Androgenic Alopecia (AA), the faster you will become totally bald as opposed to when you started experiencing AA at a later age because the younger you are, the more testosterone/DHT your body produce. Hair follicles that are sensitive to DHT miniaturizes resulting in hair loss though not all males are sensitive to DHT (lucky bastards!) that's why not all males go bald.
I haven't tried Minoxidil yet, would have tried Minoxidil 3% instead of the Ultimate Hair Grower Tonic because of it's much cheaper price but decided to go for Ultimate Hair Grower Tonic as it has natural ingredients so less side effects. Minoxidil is very widely used in hair regrowth, I even read about Minoxidil in beard forums, it was even suggested for beard growth though it's not FDA approved for use on the face as accidental ingestion of Minoxidil can cause an abrupt drop in BP. I also considered Novuhair too but based on mostly negative reviews here, decided not to waste my time & money on it.

P.S.: The first sentence of my post above is intended as a joke but could also be true...
As for my hair center experience, I would say that positive results on my AA is minimal, sample hair analysis on my hair roots showed a decrease in DHT with treatment, unfortunately, negative results were significant on my pockets, causing a huge dent on my wallet. I think part of the reason why results were minimal was because of the presence of their sexy female staff, wearing tube tops & mini skirts sure ain't helping with my testosterone/DHT levels.

7 Home Remedies to Control Hair Loss

http://ph.she.yahoo.com/7-home-remedies-control-hair-loss-091041635.html

[batang_manyakis]

@ LeDon, i'd like to consult with trichologist to verify if I have Androgenic Alopecia. Can you suggest a trusted Center? Also, pwede bang free check up lang muna? may bayad ba pag-diagnose kung may AA kna? I only had check ups with Dermatologist and most of them were suggesting to take Propecia and Minoxidil for external use. Additionally, they offer me to use their hair grower shampoo, hair serum (hair growth booster) and Power max hair laser. I also had a chance to speak with a surgeon for hair transplant and advised me to take propecia (ang mahal kc ng transplant 70K and pinaka mura at promo pa yun) So I decided to use Propecia, minoxidil, biotin 5000mcg at moringa capsule and velform laser comb. I've been using this technique for almost a month palang and my hair still receding. As per dermatologist, this is a normal condition when your body acts with propecia. Well I read in some forums that you will still experience hair fall during 1-3 months of taking propecia. So ngaun antay antay lang muna ako ng 3 months then update ko kayo. Oo nga pla sa ngaun wla pang negative impact and propecia sa sex life ko ).

Oo nga pala Sir, dun din sa sexing tricologist ha? heheh..

Sir question ko nga pla sayo:

1. How long have you been using your current treatment?
2. Okay lng ba ang ibabad ang laser comb for almost an hour (45 mins) everyday.
3. Effective ba ang castor oil? How many times should you apply this on your scalp?

Di kasi effective saken ang Ultimate eh. Ginamit ko sya for 8 months nuong first time ko nanotice ang pagnipis ng hair ko.

4. Kamusta na ang hair nyo? Anu ang pinaka effective sa lahat ng ginagamit mo? (i.e. laser comb, caster oil, ultimate, etc.)

Salamat nga pla sa advise and info Sir.

@batang_manyakis
Well, you can try Svenson International as they are having free consultation for those who are suffering from baldness, bald spot, severe hairfall, dandruff & other scalp problems. I think consultation is 100% free even after they diagnose the problem but like other hair centers/dermatologists, they're certainly going to offer you a plan for treating your specific hairloss problem afterwards and introduce/persuade you to try their very expensive products/promos as this is how they make money. Of course it's your decision to accept or decline their offer.

With regards to having a sexy trichologist, I can't be sure about that but I know that image is very important in this line of business, you don't see a dermatologist with pimples all over his/her face and certainly not a bald, balding or prone to baldness trichologist. All men are prone to baldness because of testosterone/DHT so chances are your trichologist will be a young sexy female, the least possibility to go bald & the most likely to attract/be of interest to their mostly male clients.
  
If you want quick results then that 70K hair transplant promo you just mentioned is a good choice, it's relatively cheap compared to hair centers which, depending on your specific hair problem, could take several years with minimal results & astronomical cost. I personally haven't tried propecia and minoxidil because am afraid of the side effects so I just opt for those with natural ingredients but I do have an uncle who had tried both, he did regained some of his hair but lost them again when he stopped the treatment.

As mentioned in my previous post, I started my morning regimen 3 months ago and there has been some positive results, as for the evening regimen, I started only last tuesday after my lavender JBCO & biotin arrived. The Laser wand/comb can be used for as long as you want or until your arms gets tired holding it up over your head so it's best to have a stand for it. It's also recommended to invest on a good scalp massager, I'm using Kenko scalp massager (PhP 180), bought it from Kenko body care boutique at Robinsons Cybergate.
To save on cost, I use rechargeable AA batterries to power it, don't use the cd-r king rechargeable AA batteries, it has a larger circumference & will get stuck inside the battery compartment. I have only tried Ultimate Hair Grower Tonic & the Laser wand before and they both have showed positive results for me. I'm adding the JBCO & biotin to my regimen because of the good reviews I read from forums & I chose the JBCO with Lavender for a more relaxing sleep afterwards.

Maybe the reason Ultimate Hair Grower Tonic didn't work for you is because you didn't massage your scalp well enough before applying it. Sometimes my scalp gets really red & itchy after a massage before I applied Ultimate & JBCO on my morning & evening regimen. I think it would be even better to massage your scalp with a scalp massager while you're using your laser comb/wand to maintain a healthy blood circulation on your scalp. At the hair center before, I remembered that they have this infra-red device that's placed over the head for about 30 minutes after every application, it generates some red light & heat which makes my scalp red & sweaty, the better to absorb the treatment then they massage my scalp afterwards. This infra-red device ain't the same as the laser comb/wand as they also have a laser comb for their laser therapy which is a separate cost from their already super expensive treatment kits, shampoos & hair tonics. Since this infra-red device ain't available or might be too expensive for us, the best we can do to replicate its effects is to massage our scalp well before & after we apply our topical treatments (eg. JBCO, Ultimate Hair Grower Tonic, Minoxidil...etc.)

P.S.: I have tried Eezy grow ultima herbal hair tonic also but didn't work for me, I did not have the scalp massager then. IMHO, the healthy blood circulation that the scalp massager provide could help to augment the efficacy of any topical treatment.

[batang_manyakis]

Thank you sa tips at info Sir LeDon.

How long did your uncle use propecia and minoxidil?

Safe ba bumili sa ebay? First time ko palang kasi bibili dun pero may existing account na ako. Ginawa ko ung account ko a month ago n din.

Thank ule Sir at hopefully manumbalik ang dating kapal ng hair natin.

[LeDon]

My uncle used both products for about 6 months though probably not at the same time.
There are risks when you buy from ebay but you can lessen that by buying from sellers with high feedback ratings. I've been buying from ebay since 2010, I prefer at least 98.5% & above positive feedback rating for sellers with over 100,000 feedbacks, at least 99.8% and above positive feedback rating for sellers with less than 10,000 feedbacks, I also read their feedbacks first specially the negative ones before I make my decision. No untoward incident (items not received) so far & I hope I won't encounter one.
The fastest delivery time I experienced is 5 days including weekends, the longest is 2 months but average is 2-3 weeks. Recently I learned something new from my ebay experience, I bought 4 small items w/free shipping from 2 HK ebay sellers, the items were priced in different currencies so I wasn't able to pay for them together, ebay does not seem to allow it as I wasn't able to proceed with payment so I paid them one after the other and just added in the paypal "note to seller" during payment requesting for combined shipping, to my surprise and utter disappointment, they ignored my request & shipped my items separately despite being from the same seller citing company policy to ship individually if items were not paid together. Well, I just charge this as a lesson learned when buying items priced in different currencies from the same seller. I wanted the items shipped in 1 package because our local Philippine post office charges PhP 42.00/package regardless of weight & size. Imagine if I buy 10 small items from the same seller & they're shipped individually, I'll have to pay PhP 420.00 instead of PhP 42.00, good thing I bought only 2 items from each seller, an extra PhP 84.00 cost for me. I just wondered why it's such a big deal for them to combine 2 small items together, it will benefit the buyer and the seller as well from unnecessary shipping cost.
You're  , hope we'll be able to reverse the effects of hair loss and regain the natural thickness of our hair.

May update na po ba sa castor oil users? how long have you been using castor oil ?

[tenchi_muyo]

Hi update lang. Shampoo ko ngayon Marietha's Gugo Shampoo. Medyo mahal pero super ok kasi wala akong dandruff, kaunti na lang hair fall ko, herbal, mabango after kong gamitin. Umiinom din ako ng rejuvenomix capsule then sinasabayan ko ng rejuvenomix herbal hair growth spray (all natural). So far ok naman yung resulta. Mas visible na yung baby hairs. Sana magtuloy-tuloy na.

[kelogs]

Hi mga sir newbie lang ako dito with the same problem.. medyo manipis na din ung hair ko pero 25 lang ako.. may bald section na sa side ng head ko.. dati iniignore ko lang kasi kaya pa ng hairstyling   gamit ko ngaun ultimate hair grower tonic.. gamit ko xa for almost 1 week na.. so far satisfied ako sa resulta.. gulat ako may mga baby hair kagad.. sabi kasi mga 2-3month daw bago makita ung effect.. pero 1 week plng may nkikita na kong improvement tingin ko iba iba epekto ng bawat products na ginagamit depende siguro sa tao..

[LeDon]

My use of Ultimate Hair Grower Tonic produced visible results only after about 3 months of use, the reason for a slower result might be because I use it only once a day instead of the recommended twice a day. By visible results, I mean plenty of baby hairs and acne on the affected area of my scalp. Yes, acne as much as five! Must be a side effect, I can live with the scalp acne as long as I regain my natural hair thickness, it does make massaging with my scalp massager painful if it hits one of those "ultimate" acnes.
