Would be great to have a conditioner and styling product. Hair is drying out. Can't you just use a lightweight neutral conditioner? Fred the LabRat said somewhere you could use other products if you wait 10 or 15 minutes for the Capillogain to absorb first. Is there something I'm missing? Because m...

From everything I have read, the longer you wait to start treatment the more difficult it is to get back the hair you have lost. If you want to stop your hair loss you need to do take some kind of action. At least start using some kind of topical treatment, whether it is minoxidil or an alternative ...

Try to find an endocrinologist who has a reputation for treating people who test normal but are actually low. They are out there...you have to find them by word of mouth.
