    Wow...I take propecia and a rogaine generic and have stopped loss and had some growth...it's been five years of use now. As a kid, I had Trichotillomania and twirled my hair all day with my fingers, much of it falling out. I was five or six. So I wanna keep what I have on my head, on my head.

    Did I marry my husband for better or for bald? Looks like we have a baddie gene here. Mr Clean is sexy, isn't he?

    I have heard that the HairMax laser comb has worked well for people that have not only hair loss, but thinning hair. It would seem to me that it might be a good idea to start using the HairMax early when hair begins to shed rather than wait until there is extensive loss.
