Im steve and 19yrs old, I have been receding slowly but surely since about the age of 16 and am probably getting on for norwood 2 now alhough it is not too visable due to the way i style my longish hair. Started improving my diet for around 2 years to include potentially hair beneficial items such as green tea, broccoli and pumpkin seeds but i felt that shedding incresed towards the end of 2009. So from new year 2010 start the following regime.
Day 1- Alpecin caffeine shampoo followed by the tonic
Day 2- Nizoral 1%
Day 3- dont wash hair but sometimes use the alpecin tonic
I have been doing this just under a month, so it would be impossible to notice any difference although my shedding does seem to have decreased. I havn't had any problems with the nizoral at all, although it probably does make my hair a bit drier. I have been experimenting with rinsing it after with water with a little olive oil mixed in after which works well although only a very small amount of oil is needed. I also take 1gm of bee propolis daily.
