After many years of research and self experimentation this was the only natural treatment I found that stops thinning and loss almost straight away and also produces new growth. My hair has completely regrown on crown. Where receded at front regrowth has been slower, but has virtually grown back to original hair line and though sparse at beginning, each month it became denser. Massage thoroughly with natural oils - olive oil is excellent - then using a palm held short bristled brush (soft natural boar bristles) brush vigorously so you really feel it stimulating scalp (90 /100 strokes or even more each day focusing on where loss is). After scalp adjusts you can increase brushing to 150 strokes. Will unplug blocked hair ducts indicated by painful small spots like pimples and a cause of hair loss and It will grow faster, thicker and It will force the new growth. Brushing before you apply oil is equally OK. A little shedding and breakage may occur at first but quickly stops as hair gets better anchored and stronger. Initially hairs will be weak looking and sparse. Don't be concerned if brushing uproots them as they will re-appear even stronger. It demands perseverance week in, week out to get the same results. I've found most do not persevere and so fail to get them. But have heard from some who have had equal if not better success. One of main causes of loss are harmful shampoos and even more harmful dandruff shampoos and too frequent washing. Do a Google to find safe, non harmful products then shop for them at GNC, Trader Joes, Wegmans, Cost plus, Earth Fare, some Walmart stores, and natural health stores. Genetics probably are a factor in hair loss. My immediate family members have severe loss. I believe this treatment saved me from the same fate. Try it you will be happy that you did!

Thomas replied: "What makes you think its the propecia. The only side effects listed are an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of the throat; swelling of the lips, tongue, or face; or hives). Other, less serious side effects have been reported but usually resolve with continued treatment. Continue to take finasteride and notify your doctor if you experience decreased libido (sex drive); decreased volume of ejaculate; impotence (trouble getting or keeping an erection); or breast tenderness or enlargement. I have been taking for 3 years and am very satisfied. You may want to go to a urologist, or a new urologist"

I'm a woman who suffered hair loss after an RTA in 1989 - alopecia totalis - I don't know of this product, but was at the time recommended another similar product with the same kind of feed back ...... I would like to suggest two things to you: 1. don't use the product - especially with it having any kind of side effects, your life and quality of life is far more important 2. try re-kickstarting your body into working as it did before .... review your vitamins and minerals intake - I did, o'ding on everything except vitamins A and D ..... 18monts later my hair came back better than it was before! but not necessarily all the colour..... However I did, during my 18months of total baldness find how much of 'puller' being without head hair can be! I was certainly shocked and it totally changed my way of considering how the world viewed me ... now then ... if a woman can do this!...... So my advice would be to enjoy your life and make the best of your looks - without hair - I'm certain your wife loved/loves you regardless of what was sitting on your head ..... and besides if my estimation is right - she'll be spending more time fighting off the competition!!!"
