i am 21 yrs old, and am experiencing receding hairline. in no means am i bald, but i suspect i will be in a few yrs time. for now, i have been using propecia daily. i just wanted ur opinion on what products i should use for hair care-shampoo and gel. for shampoo, so far i have been using pantene pro v, and instead of gel i use coconut oil everyday. are these products ok to use, or is there something better u would suggest? also, is it ok to shampoo and style my hair daily, or is that bad for u hair? please let me know. thanks dr.
For MPB (Male Pattern Balding) Propecia is the best way to prevent or retard its progression. With regard to the various shampoos, none that I know of has proven to be a greater value than others, when it comes to hair loss. I generally tell patients to use what they like, what works for them, to experiment with many until you find the right match and to follow the recommendations of the product manufacturers for dry or oily hair. Frequent shampooing does not hurt, but aggressive massaging during shampooing and rough brushing will cause fragile hair to break easily. I personally like the smell of coconut shampoos and use them often!

I have been using propecia almost 4 months and I didnt see any response yet .My hair got thinner I am 28 years old who has very thick hair and i have type 2 male pattern .My goal is to keep my hair , not to regrow . I have seen my hair receving from the frontal hair line little bit last couple weeks. Avadort has 50% better growth response than Propecia according to some research.Is it better for keeping the hair. And would you say i should keep using propecia and i started earlier than average patient , would it help me to keep my hair.when would htere be a drug that will stop the hair loose 99%.It doesn’t have to bring it back.And my family hair loose history is 3 A . also do smoking and coffeing effect hair loose?Thanks for your time .
