HI GUYS

IM 25 YEARS OLD FROM NJ. ABOUT 9 MONTHS AGO I WOKE UP AND NOTICED SOME HAIR ON MY PILLOW. I DIDNT THINK MUCH ABOUT IT. WHEN AT THE BREAKFAST TABLE I DESIDED TO SHAKE MY HEAD OVER THE TABLE AND THE NUMBER OF HAIRS FALLING OUT WERE ENDLESS!! I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO PUKE!! I DIDNT KNOW IT AT THE TIME BUT THAT MORNING WAS GOING TO CHANGE MY LIFE FOREVER. WHY ME? AND WHY NOW? I WENT TO THE MIRROR AND GOT ANOTHER MIRROR TO LOOK AT THE BACK OF MY HEAD AND SAW A SLIGHT BOLD SPOT ON THE LEFT BACK SIDE GOING UP TO THE FRONT. I PANNICKED BIG TIME!!
HOW COME I DIDNT NOTICE THIS BEFORE? AFTER THAT DAY MY SELF WORTH DROPED LIKE IT NEVER DROPED BEFORE!! I THOUGHT ABOUT IT 24/7. I STARTED LOOKING AT OTHER GUYS HEADS FOR THE SAME HAIR LOSS PATTERN. AT FIRST I BLAIMED EVERYTHING BUT HEREDITY-HAIR SPRAYS/HATS/ECT. EVERY TIME I LOOK IN THE MIRROR I LOOK STRAIGHT AT MY HAIR. I STOPPED SPANKING IT (THOUGH THAT DIDNT LAST VERY LONG) I STOPPED SMOKING AND STARTED EATING RIGHT. BUT DEEP INSIDE I NEW IT WAS HEREDITY BECAUSE MY DAD IS BALD.

I WENT ON THE INTERNET TO FIND SOMTHING TO STOP IT AND I SAW ALL THE PROCERIN ADDS. I BOUGHT A 3 MONTH SUPPLY. I TOOK IT LIKE THEY SAID AND NOTHING. WHAT A SCAM!! I ASK MY BARBER FOR HELP AND HE GOT ME NIOXIN. I USE THE SHAMPOO AND SCALP THERAPY
I DONT THINK IT DOES ANYTHING BUT IT IT DOES FEEL GOOD. I BOUGHT ROGAINE 5% AND NU HAIR VITAMINS. I ALSO USE NIZERAL EVERY THIRD DAY. (I USE NIOXIN ON THE OTHER DAYS).

ONE THING I FOUND THAT HELPS ME THE MOST IS I STOPPED COUNTING HAIRS. I USED TO LOOK AT MY HANDS AFTER I SHAMPOO MY HAIR/THE TOWEL AND THE FLOOR. ALL THIS GOT ME WAS MORE DEPRESSED...NOW I SHAMPOO WITH MY EYES CLOSED/I SHAKE OFF MY PILLOW FIRST THING IN THE MORNING AND I AM ONLY CONCERNED WITH LOOKS NOT LOSS!!

I DONT KNOW IF NU HAIR IS GOING TO WORK OR NOT BUT IM GIVING IT A TRY. SO FAR ROGAINE HAS DONE NOTHING, BUT I HAVE MORE TIME TO GO. I AM OPEN TO ALL SUGGESIONS AND IF THERE IS A CURE OR MAGIC PILL IM SURE ANDREW WILL FIND IT..

THANKS FOR YOUR TIME

Well you could start by turning off the "Caps Lock" on your keyboard :lol:

Your lucky you found this site. It'll teach you what works and what won't. That's a start. As far as the hair vitamins you're probably better off just using a good multi-vitamin. It'll be cheaper and just as good if not better than "hair vitamins".
Nioxin is nothing more than a good shampoo and conditioner. Personally I like them and I am currently using their conditioner. But they do nothing to stop hairloss.
How long have you been using Rogaine?

The magic pill you refer to is available. You should look into Propecia. It worked for me but unfortunatly I experienced the rarest side effect from it (Gyno). Still, side effects are rare. Click on my regimen and go to my pics and you'll see what the big three is capable of in three months time if you're a good responder.

BTW I'm from NJ too.
