26, loosing hair for more than a year.

[rajonrondo]

Hi guys I'm just gonna give you the short story,


I realised i was loosing lots of hair (showers or just everytime I shake my hair). I'd say 150 to 200 a day, and I had people telling me I was balding (my hairline is receding a bit but my crown is REALLY thin now, you can see through on pictures) but since i was in Australia and quite busy I didn't do anything.

I'm back in my country now (France) and I decided to do something about it. I feel like if I act now I can definetly save my hair, probably get them to grow back with a bit of luck!

So I wanna start Minoxidil and I did my research, 2 brands keep coming back : the Lipogaine and the Kirkland.

I've read that the Kirkland may give you some itches or dandruff but is still very effective, and the Lipogaine is basically the Rolls Royce of minoxidil. (rarely seen bad comments about it.)

I don't have any money issues, I can afford the Lipogaine all day every day and I'm gonna place an order today so I'm just asking for advice based on you guys experiences :

Lipogaine or Kirkland ?


Thanks for your answers, I'll post pictures when I start the treatment.

i fella, actually in France we have a good brand "bailleul" , dry fast less itches and less dandruff.

lipogain own his reputation (IMo) due to the azelaic acid it used to contain (or still does?), not sure ppl are still using it

you may consider going on finasteride too for long lasting and better result.

Thanks for your advice mate

Thing is I don't really trust the stuff we have in France and I couldn't find enough evidence that the Bailleul was working.

french ppl are not very active on forums, but bailleul contains the same active indredient as the other brands ,minoxidil 5%.
Don't forget the results with minoxidil alone are usually limited

oui les français sont jamais active , on pense que les dermatologues vont faire miracles, hi bro add finastéride and maybe you will maintien your hair loss and stop it

 

[Notcoolanymore]

french ppl are not very active on forums,

Is that because most French men don't give a crap about hair loss?

i think most french men don"t even know there is medication for hairloss
