Don't feel bad. Some of us have it worse than others and NOTHING will work. I started off with Nioxin ... then went with men's strength Rogaine for 3 years, etc. And although alot of the shampoos that reduce the amount of DHT on your scalp can help stop further loss, it is very unlikely that you will get regrowth.

Rogaine did nothing for me either except stop the excessive hair loss that I would experience in the shower. Other than that, I did not get the regrowth that some people ranted and raved about. After spending so much money on Rogaine for 3 years, I pretty much just gave up and bought myself a nice wig.

I have pretty much decided that I am going to be getting a hair transplant in the future. I've got one more thing that I want to try out first and if that does NOT work, the hair transplant is my only other option left because I am investing far too much money in wigs. Plus, I wanna go swimming and do normal activities that I can't do with a wig on.

Anyhow, I have found a great forum and get lost of support there. It's a hair transplant forum but they also have a hair loss forum filled with tons of information. Lots of people there going through the same thing with this stupid hair loss. I recommend some of you go there for your hair loss questions because you will get an honest and educated opinion.

You can even find other treatment options available, etc. This forum is very informational and an eye-opener .. at least it is for me. I no longer go around getting my hopes up with fad hair loss products that don't work, etc.
