hey there,
im an old/new guy here,
have read this forums in the past quite a bit, and than now back again to read a little, but more - to seek help.
so im gonna have a lot of questions, and im sorry in advance if they were posted in the past, but i've just spent a - 3 days in a row session of non stop reading these (and other) forums, and have'nt found the answers im looking for.
i hope im in the right forum to ask these questions because im a little confused about where to do that,
but since its a 'tell your story' forum ill start by - telling my story - . [but feel free to just skip this part because i find it useless to read when there is not much of a progress, like in here]
so im 24 now,
not sure when i was starting, but im mainly on minoxidil for about 4 years now -
with little breaks here and than (and basically started sheeding like crazy if a break was for more than a week or so),
and right now im on minoxi foam - for the morning, and a 7.5% minoxidil (i make from mixing equal amounts of 5 and 15 from minoxidilmax) in the evening.
besides that - nizoral for approx 2 times a week, on the other days its either - plain water, or a natural rosmary-nettle shampoo (or so it claims to be) - free of sls paravins and some other stuff.\
dermarolling (0.5, now waiting for the 0.3 to arrive) about 2 times a week, now planing to make it daily.
hmm besides that - from time to time i cut some aloe vera from my neighboors garden and make an hair mask basically (by blending the leaf meat, sometimes along with other stuff like honey and/or oils) which i put on at night, wear a shower cap / sock hat and wash it in the morning,
also occasionaly i rub some olive oil (before bed time or an hour or so before showering), raw egg (20 mins before shower), castor oil and more rarely - garlic oil (basically taking a garlic head, crush it with the proper tool - sorry but i dont know its name other than maybe just - garlic crusher, and than i collect all the crushed stuff - put it in a sock and squeeze out the oils),
lastly - i try to massage my head as much as i can, especialy when im feeling itchy (instead of itching which is bad for your skin), and really rarely - this finger rubbing bull**** (well, it is giving a certain blood rush to your scalp, but i can achive it with lots of other, more simple things such as just breathing )
as for the war against dht - untill now i relied on the stuff thats already in the minoxidil (azelaic acid, vitamin a, now it also has about 0.05% finasteride in it or smth like that and prehabs some other anti dht stuff), and - on the nizoral.
my shedding was none basically - as long as i was on thoes stuff, though - i havent got any kind of regrowth as well.
my hair is more or less - thin at all the top part, especially in crown part, hairline is noticably receded, and i'd rate myself i guess as a Norwood 2.5 more or less.
no pics from the past and none for now, sorry guys, but really theres nothing to show.
recently i was getting the felling that i really should go for the whole deal, bring out the super heavy artilery and never stop shooting.
this thread is called the great mess, because this is one of thoes situations that one gets too confused from too much info, so if you are getting confused reading this - im really sorry, because my head is all over everywhere now but ill try point it to the specifics.
lot of questions i have, as i said, so ill get to them -
1 - RU58841 - what is exactly the difference between the regualr (ru58841), to the mystrate (or smth like that?) - RUM ?
2 - ive read in 'hlh' forums some post from a polish dude that apperantly understand a thing or two, he makes veichles for stuff (his nick is 'ziom1990'), and he sais that - 'ru in a k&b solution as a veichle - stays stable for about 6 months' - i wanted to know - is that true ? what do you have to support this claim ? it is great news isnt it? because than you can prepare you ru in a 2-3 months batchs at a time instead of making it daily which must be a drag. so why still most of dudes i see here uses alc&pg mix as a veichle?
3 - as for now - what is the best way to go for healing ones male pattern baldness ? and i mean - the best - the very ****ing best way, because - as far as i gather - the big 3 is no longer it, ru is better than finasteride and dutasteride, and i see a lot of new names here and there that are supposdely - considered as cutting edge.
4 - ive seen here some people uses combos of - ru+dutasteride, or ru+finasteride, - what is the logic behind that ? i mean - ru alone should be great and block about 90% DHT, while the others blocks less, so - why really ?
5 - kinda in addition to 3 - what is the role of ahK (hope i got that right - means copper peptides), cb, and all the other new names i see here such as 'eqoul' and **** i dont remember the rest, but i have seen a lot of these new names, mainly under - 'cutting edge' section, so - please - if someone could explain - just a little bit about them - it would be really really appriciated.
6 - has any of you guys tried some alternatives such as - acupuncture for reducing androgen levles in the body, or some other alternative method that really made a HUGE difference to him? i've heard of a chinese herb called 'he-shou wu' or something like taht, that promises to regrow your hair.
7 - last (for now ;] ) - i've seen here some comment, though i cant really remmeber where it was, it was by either 'el_duterino', or 'hellouser', cant remember either, and it mentioned something called - (cant remember exactly as well) something like mnb (or some other 3 letters starting with 'm')-32, something jel, or gel, **** im sorry i ****ed up forgetting all of these - but anyway - this stuff is like super cutting edge, they just started experimenting it on very few people and its really almost not availbe for sale, but apprently it is reachable because 'el_dut' or 'hellouser' (the one who made the post) has got his hands on it, and - what it is is basically something you take for like 2-3 weeks, and than you stop - and you dont have to take it anymore, and it litteraly - grows all your hair back (yea i know, crazy),
so something like - 'mns-32 flutragel' - please give me some good news if you know what im talking about (el dutasteride and hello - where r u guys please come here! )
currently im considering on starting on ru, but i need some answers first, because if there is something better than i sure wanna know about it
please help
