Question:
Wasn't sure if this particular subject was taboo in this section (did a search and found nothing here...), but thought I'd give it a try, since it certainly pertains to grooming. Any opinions on use of dutasteride as compared to finesteride (propecia) for treatment of hair loss? Sexual side-effects appear to be slightly less in dutasteride, although dutasteride appears to remain in your system up to 8 months (after stopping the dosage). By the way, found a decent site that I've used before for buying generic products for a lot less: http://www.unitedpharmacies.com
Any other such sites you've used and like? *

Answer:
Not as proven as Propecia. When I was searching the internet, I stumbled to this website www.minoxidil.com I bought their products and they worked astonishingly well on me. It is basically minoxidil 5% mixed with azelaic acid,betamenosine for the day formula and the night formula Retina is added to the mixture. I also purchased the Spirolactone and apply it before the night time formula. Plus I also take propecia. The Xandrox products from this company works so much better than regular minoxidil/Rogaine,trust me on this one!!!!!
So my daily regimen is:
1. Propecia Once A Day
2. Xandrox Day Time Formula(with all ingredients except Retina-A)
3.Xandrox Night Time Formula(with all ingredients plus Retina-A)
4.Spirolactone on the vertex thinning area,let dry and apply Night Time Formula.
5.Nizoral 2% formula, three times a day.
Be patient,wait 4-5 months, and I was totally floored by the result, abundance of hair, I am not kidding!!!!!
If your thinning hair is kind of worst, you can add Xandrox 12.5% emulsion, to be applied three times a week at night.
Good luck!!!!!

Answer:
Do be careful with Propecia though guys. It has been proven to cause sterility in some cases & is seldomly prescribed in many European countries where the laws regarding medicine are much stricter than in the US.

Answer:
I need to know more about this subject (unfortunately for myself), but i do know that propecia works by decreasing the DHT in your body. DHT is a crucial male sex hormone and it probably isn't a good idea to stop it throughout your body. I have heard of products that stop DHT from attacking the actual hair follicles which are applied topically, but i can't remember the name of them. Any help here would be great.
This subject should not be taboo as it affects many males and no matter how well we groom ourselves; we simply can't help it that we have this problem. It's always "sucks to be that guy" until you look in the mirror and see YOUR hairline receeding and see your scalp through your hair.

Answer:
I suggest hair plugs.

Answer:
Do not stuff around - go see a hair transplant person now - while you still have hair.
When it eventually goes, you can still go to him, but it will be painfully obvious to all that you are undergoing the treatmet, whereas no one will know if you undertake the treatment before it all falls out.
If there was something that actually and unequivocally stopped hair loss (other than the sure fire way of castration) the person who came up with it would be a multi billionaire by now. But you haven't seen or heard of any such a person, have you?

Answer:
Propecia works though, 95%, but the risks are just too much for many. Messing around with the hormone-levels in your body is definitely not for everyone.

MMM Their own site states,
" Important Information About PROPECIA
The effectiveness of PROPECIA was demonstrated in studies of men, aged 18 to 41, with mild to moderate hair loss at the top and middle front of the head. There is not sufficient evidence that PROPECIA works for receding hairlines at the temples."
That doesn't sound like a cure for real hair loss to me.
