Guest guest Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 I agree, if you are losing your hair as a man, nutrition is not going to help - unless of course you are talking about taking supplements such as Saw Palmetto etc. I started losing a lot of hair at 30. At 35 the problem is pretty much gone. Simple regimen: 1. Nisim Shampoo when showering 2. Regaine at night 3. Nizoral cream at night on tough spots 4. Saw Palmetto supplement during the day The difference is startling.

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 I use Avodart, Nizoral, Dr. Proctor's shampoo and I take Lovaza (omega 3's) which may also be of benefit. I started taking finasteride when it first came out. I have pretty much kept all of my hair. Never really tried minoxodil. I just can't get myself to commit to applying topicals everyday. And I have also read that it only works for about 5 years and then you lose all of the gains. However, I am wondering if those assessments are made in the absence of an alpha reductase inhibitor? Maybe the gains last longer if you take something like Avodart with it (minoxidil). Congratulations on your progress.

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 The product you use doesn't really matter, if it's regaine, or nizoral cream, or you make yourself  scalp stimulator herbs formula from Riquette Hofstein  book, or salt and water as described in Bragg  book, or even if you use your own urine (according to Urine Therapy). It ALL works, as long as you keep massaging your scalp twice a day for 4 min. Because it's not about the product, it's all about massage. But more doesn't mean better, so don't go over 5 min massage, otherwise you get the opposite result. > > > > > > > If you are a man with MPB, you need to lower DHT levels inside of the > > hair follicles or you will most assuredly lose your hair.

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 Anyone know how to reverse white hair back to normal? Best regards, TLYeo ÑîÌìÁ (86)13530494928 (65)90220169 tlyang@... tlyeop@... Re: Re: HAIR LOSS I agree, if you are losing your hair as a man, nutrition is not going to help - unless of course you are talking about taking supplements such as Saw Palmetto etc. I started losing a lot of hair at 30. At 35 the problem is pretty much gone. Simple regimen: 1. Nisim Shampoo when showering 2. Regaine at night 3. Nizoral cream at night on tough spots 4. Saw Palmetto supplement during the day The difference is startling.

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 There is no evidence that works. None. Re: Re: HAIR LOSS The product you use doesn't really matter, if it's regaine, or nizoral cream, or you make yourself  scalp stimulator herbs formula from Riquette Hofstein  book, or salt and water as described in Bragg  book, or even if you use your own urine (according to Urine Therapy). It ALL works, as long as you keep massaging your scalp twice a day for 4 min. Because it's not about the product, it's all about massage. But more doesn't mean better, so don't go over 5 min massage, otherwise you get the opposite result. > > > > > > > If you are a man with MPB, you need to lower DHT levels inside of the > > hair follicles or you will most assuredly lose your hair.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Thank you Robbie and everyone for your responses. I do think nutrients are so important for healthy hair. I started losing hair after I went off the pill thirty years ago, and while I still have some hair, it is of very poor quality. A friend of mine drank 2 8 oz green smoothies a day and took something called shen min, a chinese concoction for hair growth and was successful in regrowing her hair. I wear a wig, and most recently surprised a friend of mine who is a hair dresser. She didn't know I had worn wigs, so I guess I do a pretty good job disguisng my issue. I just would love to ditch the wigs and go au natural! > > Has anyone had issues with hairloss that has been helped with green smoothies? > If you have and you have seen positive results, please post your combos. > Thanks a million! > LU > > > > ------------------------------------ > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 I understand.    I have 2 wigs also, from when I was on chemo and lost a lot of hair then too. Now I have just had to keep cutting it shorter and shorter. Also lately the consistency of it has changed. My whole life I have had STRAIGHT hair and now it is getting wavy. That is also hormonal, in my opinion.Have you taken shen min or just your friend did? I have not heard of it. I do take biotin everyday, but it doesn’t seem to matter.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Hi Kathy M and LU: I've read from a number of sources that low thyroid hormone levels can cause hair loss in some individuals that have this problem. A low iodine level is most often associated with a low thyroid hormone level. So doing some research on this subject, and getting appropriate testing might be helpful.

My adrenals and thyroid are below normal and we are working to improve that problem. I am hoping the greens help me a bit more.Though I am hearing about greens slowing down things...I might lightly steam greens before eating. I have not made up my mind yet.

A low iodine level is most often associated with a low thyroid hormone level. So doing some research on this subject, and getting appropriate testing might be helpful.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Vickilynn,I HIGHLY recommend that you get some stinging nettles and make an overnight infusion – take ¾ cup nettles, cover it with 1 quart of boiling water, stir, go back 5 minutes later and top it off with more water to the top, cover and leave on your counter overnight, then strain and refrigerate – drink 2-4 cups per day and also use as a leave in rinse after you wash your hair. I’ve seen it make enormous differences with my clients. On my website there is a resources page if you need to find places I recommend to purchase the nettles.
