Hey,
I'm in my early twenties, and am just at the very early stages of hairloss (receeding hairline/temples), and am trying to do everyting I can to hold on to what I still have, until hopefully some cure comes around (I hope!). But my dad stated at 22, and it's in my genes.
A few things that I think will stop my shedding is saw palmetto/rogaine/and head and shoulders shampoo. I started using the shampoo for no real reason at all, and I thought I noticed less shedding. I suspected that such a shampoo may be of benifit, and just got confirmation that it did from scientific research (posted below). The zinc in it (slightly anti DHT+ anti fungal) seems to be what helps.
Also, I broke open about 8 saw palmetto capsuels and added it to my flax seed oil which I take every day for other reasons as well. I think that since a 300 mg is used for prostate conditions, then much less can be used for slowing hair loss, since the dosage of proscar used for hairloss is much lower than it is for treating the prostate condition. I also do not want to mess around too much with my hormones. Don't want my balls to start shrinking...and start growing tits.
I just started on Rogaine yesterday, 2%, and will only take it once a day for a week to test for any side effects, and to get my scalp used to it. I am applying it to the hairline area. Though I know that it is mainly used for the crown, I hope that I am not making a mistake by using it om the hairline. Though I am not noticably bald there, I want to keep what I have from receeding any further. Does anyone know if rogaine will help for hat purpose, even at the hairline, or is itonly for the crown, at it says on the bottle?
Also, I startd taking "green" ( a mix of herbs and supplements) in the mourning. Like flax seed, I take it for other reasons, and just like with flax (rich in good fatty acids), there is stuff in it that may be good for hair loss as well, such as green tea (anti DHT), and ginko (stimulates blood in the head, and maybe perhaps even in the scalp).
I find it interesting that the Japanese men are starting to have much higher incidents of mail pattern baldness because, they think, of their more wester diets. Less green tea, soy, fish, and all that other healthy stuff, and more red meat and fat, I'm sure means more DHT and less nutrients for the hair.
Anyway, here is the article on head and shoulders (ship first half, and go down)
Enjoy, and thanks in advance for any input on my rogaine question.

Minoxidil Finds Novel Indication In Hair Loss Prevention Following Rhytidectomy
By Pamela Harrison
Special to DG News
NEW ORLEANS, LA -- February 24, 2002 -- Topical minoxidil appears to prevent temporary alopecia that can occur following facelift procedures, according to a Florida-based dermatologist.
Results from a retrospective review were presented during a poster session here yesterday at the 60th annual meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology.
"Temporal hair loss that results from traumatized hair follicles following rhytidectomy is an unsightly complication that can distress patients and surgeons," observed lead author Dr. Cindy Li, who is in private practice in Boca Raton, Florida.
Noting that topical minoxidil has already been approved for the treatment of both androgenic alopecia and female senile alopecia, Dr. Li initiated prophylactic minoxidil 2% to 5% in 60 consecutive patients, one week prior to the rhytidectomy procedure, and then, following a five-day interval during which minoxidil was discontinued after the facelift, continuing its use for another four weeks.
Comparing their findings in these 60 patients to results from larger facelift series, in which minoxidil was not used prophylactically, the researchers concluded that "minoxidil plays a role in effectively preventing temporal hair loss that occurs following primary rhytidectomy," Dr. Li stated. Importantly, minoxidil does not appear to affect the risk of hematoma, skin necrosis or oedema, she added.
"To our knowledge, this is the first study to investigate the role of minoxidil in preventing post-rhytidectomy alopecia," Dr. Li indicated, "and we feel that minoxidil should be considered in all surgical procedures that may precipitate alopecia."
In another study presented during the poster session, topical minoxidil was shown to increase total hair counts relative to baseline by week 26 in a group of 50 men who were randomly assigned to 5% minoxidil plus placebo shampoo.
However, another 50 men who also had mild to moderate male pattern baldness achieved a modest but sustained improvement in hair growth with daily use of a commercially available shampoo containing 1% pyrithione zinc (PTZ). Specifically, at week 26, men treated with 5% minoxidil plus placebo shampoo had a 12.32 increase in total hair count/cm2 relative to baseline.
This compared with a 6.23 increase in total hair count/cm2 in men who used 5% minoxidil plus 1% PTZ shampoo daily. Men who used the shampoo containing only 1% PTZ had a comparable increase in total hair count at 5.69 count/cm compared with baseline, while men who used placebo shampoo experienced a 0.58 loss in total hair count/cm2 over the same 26-week study.
"These results suggest that daily use of a 1% PTZ shampoo could have a prophylactic benefit in slowing the progression of male pattern baldness," investigators state. As Dr. Kenneth Smiles, PhD, principle scientist for Procter and Gamble, in Cincinnati, Ohio, noted in an interview, previous work suggests that microbiologically driven inflammation contributes at least in part to male pattern baldness.
"Since PTZ is an excellent anti-fungal agent, these observations suggested that it, too, may have a benefit in androgenetic alopecia," he said, adding, "I think what we have shown is that by using a shampoo like this, people with male pattern baldness can get some modest benefit from it without having to apply something else."
The Procter and Gamble study was conducted with Head and Shoulders Dandruff shampoo (fine and oily hair version) which contains 1% PTZ.
