Hi all,
This is my first post here. I'm a 26 year old black male and I've noticed a very mild thinning of the top portion of my hair. It's been pretty gradual over the last year, but over the past few months it's gotten more noticeable, enough so that I want to do something about it. I was looking into Rogaine, but it says it's only for the top back of the head - my thinning seems to be over the entire top. Also, it seems most of the research done was for white men within a specific age range - so I'm not sure what the effectiveness is for black men (I guess they normally just cut all their hair off and look fine, but I don't want to do that).
So does anyone here have any experience or information about what might work for black men? And also, does anyone have information about what works best for my particular brand of thinning? Not a bald spot, not a receding hairline, just overall thinning all over the top of my head.
Thanks so much for you help, and I hope to contribute as I start trying things.
Oh - one last thing - I bought Shen Min DHT blockers a month ago, and haven't noticed anything yet. The board doesn't seem very optimistic about herbal treatments, so I was wondering if anyone had any experience with Shen Min specifically, or HairGenesis.
Thanks,
BB
