Hi there,can you please answer this question in order for me to go ahead and purchase this product? Can Rejuvx work on someone who has been affected by Alapesia.
The inventor of RejuvX emailed BaldingBlog and said “my product has never been sold to regrow hair”, so take that for what you will. See for yourself in this blog post from 2006 — Email from Inventor of Rejuvx.

(female) When hair loss is caused by a medication, in my case Abilify – an antipsychotic I’m using for bipolar disorder – does medication such as nioxin work to prevent the loss or promote growth? I’ve started to notice large amounts of hair loss which began soon after starting Abilify. One of the rare side effects mentioned in Abilify literature is unusual hair thinning, apparently I’m experiencing this rare side effect.
I do not believe that Nioxin will help regrow your hair. Minoxidil might be worth a try, but be sure to read the warnings on the packaging. At this time, minoxidil is the only FDA approved medication for treating female hair loss.

I am taking saw palmetto to slow my hair loss, but it seems to not stop the hairs from falling, rather when they do fall, they have a bulb on the end with the saw palmetto, but without, they are bulbless. Does this mean I should increase my saw palmetto intake?
Saw palmetto is not proven to work for treating male pattern baldness, so increasing saw palmetto will likely have no effect. Traditionally, food supplement companies jumped on the bandwagon to promote saw palmetto for hair loss, as they made a connection that the herb helps with prostate issues. In fact, there is no clear evidence that even that is true. Now for years people have been taking saw palmetto for prostate problems, but no study I’ve seen has been able to prove that it really works, even though it has been embedded in our popular culture to be true. Somewhere along the road someone made the connection that since finasteride and saw palmetto are for prostate problems, saw palmetto may also work for hair. This is not true!
To put it into perspective, finasteride 5mg pills (marketed as a brand name Proscar) is a drug that helps with prostate conditions. A side effect of finasteride 5mg (Proscar) was that it grew hair on balding men who were taking the medication for their prostate conditions. The drug company saw the marketing potential for such side effect (of growing hair on balding men) and marketed finasteride 1mg (as Propecia) for genetic male pattern baldness. Propecia and Proscar are the same medication in different doses. You don’t need the higher (5mg) dose to grow hair. As such, some patients take Proscar and break up the pill in 1/4 pieces (ideally it would be 1/5, but that is difficult) to take for hair loss. If your hair is important to you, consider the use of Propecia rather than saw palmetto.
My hair is thinning and falling out. I’ve had a problem with acasional redness and serious flaking and itching. Only happens on my scalp. If I don’t condition after shampooing, it shows up that day. Otherwise, its alright.Could there be a fungus that is causing my hairloss? My family doesn’t have hairloss problem.
If hair conditioner works to prevent the problem, why don’t you just use conditioner? I would doubt it is a fungus if simply using a good conditioner corrects the problem, but you could go see your primary care physician if this is a concern. A dermatologist would be a good person to meet with, as well.

Hi Doctor, I’m a Finasteride User and have been using the same from past 2 months but not have seen visible results as its Just a starting. I have been using BSN Products like Nitrix, Cell Mass and NO-Xplode for performance enhancement in the Gym. One of web pages which triggered my interest is this: HairLossTalk.com, which says NO levels can increase hair growth and it stimulates the hair growth. I don’t know how far it is true. Also i cannot relate my hair loss with usage of these products as I have Just started using it. Could please go through the link and tell us Does Nitrix Oxide and L-Arginine and other amino acids can increase hair growth ? I was always in a Dilemma whether to use or not to use these nutrient supplements. Kindly clarify my doubts.
The Internet is filled with good information and a whole lot of misinformation. I don’t believe there is a link with hair growth from nitric oxide (NO) or L-arginine. L-arginine is an amino acid you get by just having a normal diet. No one has yet to find the cure for hair loss and everyone is trying to make a fast buck. Of course, since you’re trying it for yourself, if it grows hair where you were once thinning, let me know.
I wrote about this a few months back — Nitric Oxide and Hair Loss.

Snippet from the article in Telegraph UK:
A way to banish split ends, lifeless locks and “bad hair days” could come from an analysis that reveals the secret of silky hair.
The first detailed analysis of what happens to individual hair fibres as they rub past each other when tresses are tossed has been conducted down to a billionth of a metre, showing how to make hair smooth to the touch.
Full article: Bad hair days may soon be over, say scientists
The findings were presented at the American Chemical Society’s national meeting in Philadelphia and appear to be a way to replicate conditions that occur which make hair difficult to manage. There is big money in this, because if these conditions can be obviated with a shampoo or conditioner, the market could shift to such a new product.
I have been diagnosed with miniaturization through-out the scalp.(30%) Was told it wasn’t dupa though. It is advised that those with this type of hair loss pattern keep their hair very short. Buzz cut! My hair looks horrible grown out but am afraid buzzing it every few weeks will speed up the loss. In a past question you mentioned friction on weak miniaturized hair can pull it out. What should I do?
Thanks
Buzzing hair that has miniaturization will not impact that hair unless it is poorly cut with non sharp instruments that pull. In other words, I do not believe that buzzing your hair will help it or hurt it. My advice is to style your hair any way you like it.
Does Aloe Vera products/medicine Help with Hair Growth
While aloe vera has many therapeutic qualities (like wound and burn healing), marketing entrepreneurs jumped on this bandwagon to promote the product for hair… but no, it does not re-grow hair or halt hair loss.
Minoxidil leaves hair wet and it takes some time for it to dry sufficiently to be able to apply hair styling product properly. Would it be ok to use a blow dryer soon after applying minoxidil to dry the hair quicker? My concern is a dryer would make the minoxidil ‘evaporate’ before it has had time to be absorbed by the skin. What do you think? Many thanks.
I do not believe using a blow dryer will negatively affect the application of minoxidil on your scalp, but first just give the minoxidil a chance to dry on its own (10-15 minutes). You can try using the blow dryer on the low setting, but the evaporation will be mostly from the non-active alcohol in the solution and not the active minoxidil compound.

Hello, I have a couple of questions:
- Is hair supposed to be the same thickness all over the head or are there zones in which thinner/thicker?
- How important is shredding to the process of balding? I’ve heard from balding friends that they see a ton of hair in the pillow and specially in the shower or while they comb their hair. Does a substantial increase in shredding from your usual mean that you’re going bald?
- I used an acne cream on my face when I was younger, I used it on my forehead and I noticed that my hair turned blond. Two years later I read the package and it said to avoid the hair. Do you think I could have lost the hair that turned blond or did it grow back eventually?
Thank you.
