Hi

I have Androgenic Alopecia unfortunately there is nothing that can be done for AGA, I suggest you read up on the condition.I tried everything that came on the market.

My solution is wearing a hair system, I wear mine 24/7 and almost forget I'm wearing supplement hair.

Thanks for getting back to me.

if your a male then have you tried minoxidil 5% with propecia if not do try it but it has to be around 3 to 6 months to see if its working also depends on your hairloss if you are totally shiny bald then i think its too late.

unfortunately if you have Androgenic Alopecia it's unlikely to get better and probably get worse as you get older.

O first noticed thinning on my crown after the birth of my 3rd child I was 30 from then the texture of my hair changed, got finer and thinner until eventually lost more than 70% density and it was receding at the front.

have you had a diagnosis for androgenic alopecia?

Loosing your hair has a devastating affect on our life, well being, confidence......everything

I was diagnosed with Adrogenetic Alopecia several years ago when I was 42 by a dermatoligist who showed zero interest in the upset it caused me and basically told me I should be grateful that I won't go totally bald. I then went back to the doctors a couple of years back because of how much worse it was getting only to be told it might improve once we've had some warm weather! I have resorted to disguising the thinning by using Fullmore spray and Nanogen fibres but now I have started menopause so am preparing for it to get even worse!
