Jacob, how is the Nanogaine?

James · Post by **James** » Mon May 22, 2006 6:22 pm

Hey man, haven't heard from you in a while. Just wondering how the Nanogaine is going for ya in terms of scalp compatability.

Booly · Post by **Booly** » Tue May 30, 2006 4:45 pm

Hi I'm using it for 7 weeks now : I can feel little thick hair when I run my fingers through my hair, and I can see vellus hair sprouting on the right side of my hairline area ( and not on my tempal area like I said to jacob in my e-mail..my english s****

). I'll give you updates.

PS: I'm norwood 2.5

Jacob · Post by **Jacob** » Wed May 31, 2006 4:29 pm

Compatibility-wise...it's perfect. No weird reactions..and it's one of the few topicals I can really use and not worry about it showing on my scalp. My latest "custom" by Elsom may also fall into this catagory. Have to use it some more to see. It's in a spray bottle this time...contains apple peel extract and gse..etc. Will post more about it this week.

I do wish Nanogaine were nanosomal or that it just absorbed better. I guess I've been spoiled the past few years with such topicals. Using the Dermaroller does help..but I only use that in the morning.

BTW..welcome to the forum Booly

Lol thx Jacob,
what are you calling a dermaroller ? (stupid question?

)

Booly · Post by **Booly** » Sat Jun 10, 2006 5:55 am

In my 3rd supply I actually have to push the cap first if I want to open the vial; I heard the double "click"

Jacob · Post by **Jacob** » Mon Jun 12, 2006 3:49 pm

I'm still on my first batch..don't have to "click" anything. Let me know please if all the containers in your latest supply are that way.

yep all of them.

Booly · Post by **Booly** » Sat Jun 24, 2006 5:15 pm

Hey Jacob there is this guy from hairlosshelp called KevinJ who is using nanogaine, on his profil it says that it helped to fill in his temples, could you try to contact him ?

Jacob · Post by **Jacob** » Sun Jun 25, 2006 7:09 am

I'm not a member there..haven't been for years. Does he say how long he's been using it? Maybe I'll try to contact him anyway....or ask somebody who can.

BTW..when you put the stuff on your finger and smell it...what does it smell like to you?

Booly · Post by **Booly** » Sun Jun 25, 2006 11:59 am

It smells like light onion

Jacob · Post by **Jacob** » Sun Jun 25, 2006 2:05 pm

I've never smelled a light onion

..but guess I'll have to take another wiff.

I still don't get why the stuff comes out w/out pushing down and hearing/feeling a click. Did you ever get a response from them on that?

Booly · Post by **Booly** » Sun Jun 25, 2006 4:48 pm

My first and 2nd supply I didn't have to click on anything, but with the third supply, which I ordered on their mainsite I have to.

Jacob · Post by **Jacob** » Sun Jun 25, 2006 5:39 pm

Where did you order the first 2 from?

And do you recall if they smelled the same?

Booly · Post by **Booly** » Mon Jun 26, 2006 6:07 am

there:

And yes it smelled the same

Jacob pls take a look on my thread on regrowth.com called "need advice". I posted pics that I liked you see

Jacob · Post by **Jacob** » Mon Jun 26, 2006 6:49 pm

Thanks Booly.

I'll try to find the thread...will be off more than on this week so may be a bit before I find it or respond to it.

Jacob · Post by **Jacob** » Mon Jun 26, 2006 7:27 pm

Booly..could you please post the pictures here..or the link to what you're referring to? Or email them/it?

Thanks..

Notice that I got some skin pb for a while now, so maybe the demodex thing is possible, plus my hairloss started right after those skin pbs ..don't know what to think..thx in advance.

James · Post by **James** » Tue Jun 27, 2006 8:27 pm

Booly, what is "skin pb?"

Those hairs look kinda crazy to me. Maybe this demodex things holds some weight. I have no clue though.

Do you have any pics of your head, showing the hair loss?

Booly · Post by **Booly** » Wed Jun 28, 2006 5:49 am

James "skin pb" means skin problems, I got red pimples near my nose (sometimes) and my ears (always) and microkysts on my front.

I will post a picture of my hairloss when my camera will be back

Jacob · Post by **Jacob** » Wed Jun 28, 2006 8:00 pm

I used to see those all the time until I started "treating" my hair loss. I figured they were what is called a "hair bulb"..maybe with extra sebum or whatever clinging to it.

Here's a photo of a "good" vs one with dht on it:

Another- they call them roots here:

Jacob · Post by **Jacob** » Wed Jun 28, 2006 8:01 pm

BTW..your second picture there looks like dried/dead skin attached to it or something.

Booly · Post by **Booly** » Thu Jun 29, 2006 3:36 am

So what should I do ?

Jacob · Post by **Jacob** » Thu Jun 29, 2006 7:08 pm

Well the only thing I can remember you saying you use is Nanogaine.

I got my scalp under control by rotating a number of shampoos...using Alterna's "Follicle Stimulating Treatment"...etc. This was years ago. Since then I'm kept rotating a # of shampoos..used a # of topicals...used natural styling aids...etc.

I wouldn't worry to much if a few hairs here and there are coming out like that. If it were me..and take this as just an opinion...but if I were just starting out and having sebum type problems like I did and knew about Semodex..I'd probably try that.

BTW..what were you po'd about- you mentioned in my blog? You were saying you were seeing results with Nanogaine..then your next post was that you were po'd. If you responded there I'm not seeing it..don't know why all the messages aren't shown there.

Booly · Post by **Booly** » Fri Jun 30, 2006 1:27 am

Well I was desperate this day, 21 yo and be a nw 2.5/3 is not really funny, so yes I was po'd.
3 month with nanogaine, vellus hairs are still there, no improvement, but the little thick hairs that I felt when I ran my fingers through my hairs keep growing.
On the front : there is a little improvement, some thicker hairs are growing ( I will show you when I will get back my cam).

Booly · Post by **Booly** » Sat Jul 08, 2006 5:33 pm

my hair are so limp, I don't know what's happening...

Jacob · Post by **Jacob** » Wed Jul 12, 2006 5:36 pm

One of the reasons why I've started taking supplements that may "feed" hair is to possibly help any new hairs to develop better/faster. Things like Bio-Sil can't hurt, imo.

Booly · Post by **Booly** » Thu Jul 13, 2006 11:19 am

Nothing to report concerning nanogaine Jacob ?

Jacob · Post by **Jacob** » Sun Jul 16, 2006 1:01 pm

Only that I'm still using it. I'll post if I see tons of new regrowth or something..but I use a # of things so it'd be hard to say Nanogaine is doing this or that.

I have had some irritation but need to see if it continues. Didn't have any at first.

Booly · Post by **Booly** » Sat Aug 05, 2006 6:18 pm

On nanogaine since 12th april, except longer hair on my hairline...n o t h i n g
to report

James · Post by **James** » Sat Aug 05, 2006 10:17 pm

Jacob, how about you? How's the irritation?

Jacob · Post by **Jacob** » Sun Aug 13, 2006 12:00 pm

I've had to quite Nanogaine. I'm po'd at their lack of customer service..but that's not enough to make me quit. Ever heard of Lipoxidil?

Actually I got Nanogaine from Lipoxidil..and am awaiting to see if they can get any answers and possible get my product exchanged(due to the things being "opened" already).

I did love it being so clear and not having to worry about it showing on my scalp. I may use another product in the mornings like that..have a couple in mind.
