I doubt that you hair character changes daily, but your hair can reflect things like humidity in the air that make make it appear to change its character. I don’t know what kind of climate you live in, so I’m just speculating, of course. The presence of chest and beard hair is genetic. DHT does […]

Styling products like hair spray or hair wax will not cause balding, even if you leave it on. If the product is not a known safe product, you could damage the hair, but it would be doubtful that the damage would extend below the skin surface. Shampooing twice a day is not a problem either.
There are no studies that I am aware of that look at a relationship between hair texture and weather. I think it is more of something we take as common sense that when the weather is cold and dry, our hairs and skin may be affected. If your hair is dry in the winter months, […]
Cutting a month of Proscar pills (5mg finasteride) in advance could reduce the effectiveness like any pill would if exposed to air and humidity for a prolonged period of time. I don’t know what the exact point is that the medication starts to degrade, but that’s why I suggest splitting one pill at a time. […]
The official FDA recommendation is that finasteride (Propecia or Proscar) be stored at room temperature, between 59-86 degrees F (15-30 degrees C). Be sure that they are kept in a sealed, airtight container as the humidity where you live can get into the bottle. If you are cutting up the Proscar, do not cut more […]
Humans have asynchronous hair growth, which means that we do not shed or react with climate change (in theory). The hair loss on the sides of the head that you’re experiencing is not usual male pattern baldness, and you will want to get that examined by a doctor. That being said, washing your hair daily […]
Black mold can make a person sick, and any sickness has the potential to cause hair loss. Molds in walls need to be treated and your daughter should not live in her room until you determine that it is mold free. You might put a dehumidifier in the room to dry it up. If there […]
I highly doubt this is true. If this information is true, wouldn’t there be a chance that a “droplet” of the active medication (finasteride) can also miss the pill, making it a dud? This just goes to show you that have to be very careful about what to believe and what not the believe. Or […]
There is no generic Propecia available legally in the US. I realize other countries may manufacture finasteride in 1mg strength, but Propecia is still under patent protection in much of the western world. There is a generic finasteride available in 5mg strength — any pharmacy should have it, provided that your doctor prescribes you 5mg […]
If you go to bed with wet hair, I do not believe that it will cause you to lose hair — but it will get your pillow all wet. Be sure that the wet hair does not get pulled when you move around. Generally, it’s probably best to dry it first.
I generally do not like to make recommendations for daily hair grooming and hair management. There is clearly dry and moist hair and the difference does reflect the porous nature of the individual hair shaft for that person. The transplants should behave as it did when the hair was located in their original ‘home’ in […]
I do not like to give recommendations for how to manage drugs that are not the way the manufacturer engineered it to be. If I were to guess, I would keep any pills in a humidity free container if I were to do what you do. Sports are not harmful for your hair. In fact, […]
Accutane may have had the side effect you describe. It is difficult to say that it only caused your frontal hair loss, as I would have expected a more diffuse hair loss pattern. It may have been just coincidence, but either way you should be evaluated by a good hair transplant surgeon to map out […]
When you split a pill, the inside is then explosed to environmental factors like humidity. I would not split the pill prior to use.
The Moser Clinic is a highly respected organization and the work of Karl Moser and Dr. Krugluger has been presented to the ISHRS (International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery), where I was in the audience. They are credible scientists. Their solution appears to reduce the hair loss shedding immediately after the surgery. I would be […]
