For a couple hours now, I’ve been surfing the web, looking for a suitable product to purchase for my boyfriend. He’s in his early 20’s, and his hair is thinning/balding. It’s hereditary. He wants to find something to help, and I’m looking for the right product for him.
I started off with researching Rogaine, but I’m hearing about some nasty side effects, and plus, it’s a life-long commitment. Then I came across Propecia, and there’s no way in hell I’m letting him use that stuff, considering that it can have sexual side effects. It’s just not worth it.
I saw another product, called Provillus, and it seemed to be good. But it’s not FDA approved, and it’s also pills, not cream, and I don’t know how I feel about him taking something orally. It makes me nervous.
Lastly, I looked up Shampoo’s, to see if I could find any luck there. I found Nioxin. Once again, it seems ok, and I don’t see any side effects. But it’s so hard to trust these products.
Ergo, I figured that I’d ask actual people if they have any suggestions, or if they could share their stories and what worked for them. Tell me anything that worked for you, and any side effects it had. Whether it be cream, pills, shampoo, etc. I’d really, really appreciate it.
