Topical application of Rogaine on the scalp helps a lot of men, worth a try. \nAs a prescription you can try Propecia - does not work for all men, but for a fair percentage. \nHowever, once you lost hair it is preety much gone and won't come back, so you might want to start as early as possible to preserve what you have.

I'm not sure... I guess there's no harm in trying them.\n\nI'm a girl and my hair has thinned greatly after I was put on birth control. If you find anything that works with getting hair back. Post it!

Male pattern baldness is actually carried on the female gene.  Look at your mother's family for who to blame.\n\nJust do us all a favor.  When you get that little ring around your head, going from ear to ear around back, dont' grow that long just to proveyou can grow hair.  We can still see you have a bald spot and are not impressed.  In fact, I think long hair there emphasizes how little there is on top.

The only known cure for male pattern baldness is removal of the testicles. Alas it has to be done before puberty to have much effect. So, since you are to the point of hair loss happening, it may not work nearly as well. then again, given the nature of the surgery, one might well prefer to go bald.\n\nThere are a few products on the market that purport to be sucessful in reducing hair loss but the one common thread I see in their instructions is you must massage them into the scalp for 20 minutes each day. So, I just save my money and make sure I get a thorough scalp massage in my morning shower. While it hasn't prevented hair loss, it seems to slow it down some.

Not much I'm afraid.  If your hairloss is caused by hormones, as most male pattern baldness is you are out of luck as far as most hairgrow products go.  You are then left with surgical solutions like hair implants.

This product is available in the UK and online...\n\nKalo Hair Growth Inhibitor is a breakthrough hair retardant formula which inhibits unwanted hair re-growth.\n\nDo many MEN also use Kalo?\nIf you're a man, you probably have to shave once, possibly even twice a day. With Kalo, the frequency of shaving can be significantly reduced and your beard growth will become noticeably softer and much easier to shave. If you have sensitive skin and find shaving leaves your skin feeling sore and irritated then Kalo will help make this condition more tolerable by making your beard growth softer and easier to remove. \n\nHow Kalo Works:\nKalo's effectiveness relies on first physically removing the unwanted hair usually accomplished by waxing, sugaring, tweezing or shaving). Kalo is then applied to reduce the hair growth.\n\nEvery time you wax and use Kalo, you can expect that 10 to 15% of the hair will never grow back. This is because, at any given time, 10 to 15% on a person's body are in the anagen, or initial growth stage - the hair best affected by Kalo. The 85-90 per cent of the hair that does grow back will be weaker, finer, and have less color.\n\nAfter only a few hair removal sessions, the results will be evident, with up to 50 per cent of the hair gone within six months. The advantages of Kalo are obvious. Traditional hair removal methods can be painful, costly, damaging to skin. Kalo safely and effectively inhibits unwanted body and facial hair from growing back. Kalo is gentle, painless & completely safe.

results are suppsosed to appear after 3 months of daily intake. It does work, but results are modest, not massive, though its the only scientific "cure" for baldness. The earlier you start, the better..

There are a number of hair replacement techniques that are available:\n\nHair Transplantation\nDuring hair transplantation, the surgeon removes small pieces of hair-bearing scalp grafts from the back or sides of the head. These grafts are then relocated to a bald or thinning area. The results are permaneant, look pretty natural and can be treated afterward as natural hair.  The price of these operations ranges from $2000 - $10000, although most surgeons offer some financing options.\n\nMedications:\nFinasteride (Propecia™)\nProcecia is a once a day pill and is clinically proven to maintain your hair count and even regrow hair at the crown and on the top of your head.  It has no effect on hairline balding.  It is available by prescription only, costs about $75 monthly and is covered by no insurance plans.  Once your discontinue taking Propecia, any new hair you regrew will fall out.\n\nminoxidil (Rogaine™)\nMinoxidil or Rogaine is topical solution that must be applied to the balding area twice a day, every day. Decreasing the dosage to once a day results in some hair loss, and discontinuing application causes regression to pretreatment baldness.\n\nPersonally, I would ask yourself what your goals are and how much you're willing to spend.  If you really want to keep your hair, transplant surgery is the only real long term solution and is more cost effective if you consider the money saved on propecia or rogaine.\nIf staving off your hairloss for 5 years or less is your main goal, then medical treatment is a completely satisfactory option.  For maximum effective treatment I would recommend using extra strength rogaine and propecia.

I have been prescribed Devonex (sp), and that has worked really well for me.  You will have to keep using it, but it works.  Check with your dermatologist.

I love Eufora! It has an aloe vera base and smells great.  A 32 ounce bottle of the moisture cleanse will be about $40.00, and the conditioner runs about $45.00.  It is highly concentrated, but well worth the money.  I used Fekkai once, and it ruined my scalp - it became irritated and flaky. Only after using Eufora did it heal. I use the products with the highest moisture content and swear by it.

An Astringent--Works well--however also contains alot of alcohol and may dry your skin too much.  Alot of the new facial cleansers work well also.  Try looking into "neutogena", Aveeno puts out some good products also.  For oily scalp I'm not sure==I would use any shampoo that simply says for oily hair--They have some fantastic shampoos with mint and green tea extract in places like "HENRYS".  Hope I've helped!!

This is a good site on hair, despite a few popups:\n\nhttp://www.keratin.com/\n\nRead especially the sections on hair biology, and androgenetic alopecia.\n\nThere are a few treatments for this baldness, but I agree that it is no big deal, to most people; women are not going to reject a man, just because he is balding!  It so common among men!!!

Sounds like you have an early case of the female version of male patterning baldness.  Tough break, girl.\n\nIs your hair falling out or is it just not growing there?\nTry taking a multivitamin for whatever vitamins or minerals you are deficient in.  Then go to your doctor.  And check out Rogaine.
