Weekly summary - 128th week -- how much you spend in hair loss treatment?

I need to restock my Proscar and Kirkland Minoxidil 5% soon.
Proscar price is almost the same price in local pharmacy. A mere RM 190 divide in to 4 months will be around RM 47.50 per month.
Meanwhile, Kirkland Minoxidil 5% for 6 months supply is around RM 160 including shipment from US. It around RM 26.70 per month.
If you sum up how much I spend on the hair care, it is less than RM 75. It is not that expansive after all if you figure out how to save the money.
Imagine, Yun Nam haircare and Beijing 101 may cost you at leastRM 150 per treatment(Consider you are taking the most basic course). You may need to visit them at least once a week. NO RESULT AT ALL and WASTE YOUR TIME.
We considered the prudent way in male pattern baldness treatment, Rogaine and Propecia. Rogaine is the original brand of minoxidil but sell at RM 180 per month. Generic brand like Regro may sell at RM 120. Propecia which is 1 mg is manufactured to people who suffered MPB. Proscar is 5mg but same ingredients. Propecia will cost you RM 160 per month.
If you used Rogaine and Propecia, it will cost you RM 340 the max, which is still cheaper than Yun Nam at least RM 600 per month.
There is totally no point to go treatment in some places call herbal or natural hair care center which a bunch of sales girls who know nothing about hair loss and supply all those fake theory to frighten you to sign up their package. I am a victim previously. There are more victims out there but there are even more people who go in Yun Nam and being cheated.
Malaysia government last week announced they planned to control the advertisement to ensure the advertisement is actually what they published. I hope the new advertising law will help people to avoid those hair care center that never deliver.

Great site, Hair loss has allot to do with DHT, in both men and women and maintaining a proper Diet, with herbal supplements, also having toxins in the body can cause hair loss as well, Once again great site...
