Weekly summary - 217th week -- hair styling

I know hair styling can hurt my hair, but one of the purpose I work so hard to regain my hair is to have a chance to sty;e my hair like other guys, especially when I (or you) need to, agree?
Thus, I have bought some of the gel and was to style my hair. You will never know is it suitable for you until you gave a tried.
I tried Gatsby moving rubber which I think is a type of hair wax. The price is slightly higher but still acceptable. It keep my hair style well but it may make your hair a bit dry and eventually make you lose more hair. Ok to use it but not recommended to use everyday.
I also tried L'Oreal studio invisible gel. It is cheaper than Gatsby but it is not easy to style like Gatsby. Maybe it is type of gel, It is more moisturizer and make my hair is not so dry.
For us who suffered hair loss, the wax or gel that we use must not hurt our hair. I would rather stop using any product that will make me loss more hair. Period. No compromise.
 

Weekly summary - 217th week -- late posting, too busy

Gosh!!! What a busy week. I have to work late this week. When the day I can come back early, my modem is down and I have to buy a new one and set it up. Thus, this is the reason this post is late for a few days.
I guess, I can not stop chasing my dream job even I just join this company not so long ago. Money and dream, I must put it in a balance.
There are comments that ask about buying Rogaine or Minoxidil in Guardian that needs prescription. I have stressed that please purchase from Amazon as it is only a fraction of the price tag in Guardian and Watson. If you find it troublesome, I cannot understand why you not purchase online?
That's all for this week.

Weekly summary - 216th week -- best comments all these years in this blog

I have write these blog from September 2007, the first day I took Propecia 0.5mg. It has been over 4 years. 4 years is a long time right?  I really think it is but it seems like just yesterday. Luckily, I have seen some results after a long period with some (do not dare to said a lot of effort) effort and persistent of medication (Propecia +Rogaine).
Last week, I have receive a true readers who has recapped my progress all these years. He seems like remembered vividly what I have gone through all these years. I think I can not recall some of the incidents along my way.
Thanks Ree!!!Share with you all guys.

Hi Jason, I'm Ree and I've been your reader since 2009.

Congratulations on your successful battle against MPB!
OK, let's summarize your journey.
You first used propecia in September 2007 and after 2 years, no changes at all except that you did not experience further hair fall.
In May 2010, you decided to go with Proscar and Minoxidil regime.
Your post [week 139] after 6 months of your proscar+minoxidil regime, you noticed new hair growth.
Your post [week 140], a colleague who had not seen you in a long time noticed that you had more hair than before.
Your post [week 149], you did not use minoxidil for 2 weeks and you noticed your hair fall was more than usual. However, [week 162] when you were on a holiday for 1 week and did not use minoxidil, your hair fall was normal.
Your week 188 post stated that you did not experience any new hair regrowth for the past 2 months. You also mentioned that the best time for a person to see new regrowth of hair is the first 9 months, and that you have passed that period.
Your post [week 200] with your photos clearly showed that you have more hair now than your 2nd week photo.
So, it can be concluded that :-
1) Proscar + Minoxidil work for you, it means it could work for others too
2) Propecia caused you to experience low libido, an unwanted side effect, and doesn't really work
3) A person needs a doctor's prescription to take Finasteride, but not Minoxidil
4) Minoxidil is cheaper if you buy online

All seems good and promising enough to make other MPB sufferers to do what you do. Just one question, does taking proscar+minoxidil make you grow hairy chest? cuz I'm not keen on having hairy chest. Anyways, all the best to you and thank you for blogging your experience.

Weekly summary - 215th week

If it is possible, the business to sell Kirkland minoxidil 5% must be a good business. In lelong.com.my or lowyat.net, the local seller are selling RM 60 or above for a bottle where you can purchase with less than half of the price if you order from Amazon.com. Yet, there are may still prefer to buy from local seller due to their worried of the custom of Malaysia. I personally can ensure you that the possibility the item is seized is very low. It is all rumnors and the sellers are smart enough to claim it as shampoo in US postage.
The sellers mostly visit to US can buy from there themselves. They are mostly doing it part time as their normal job allow them to go US quite frequent where he or she can buy minoxidil cheaply in the local hypermarket and mail it back to Malaysia. They can earn 60% to 70% from the selling price.Good profit right?
It make me wonder if I can cooperate with some of the fellas who flies to US quite frequent so that we can create the win win situation....
