much better to go abroad, you're paying almost three times as much here. Don't believe the people that say abroad is dodgy. DM me I'll give you more info.

What's the difference? £1k to £3k? Isn't too much imo and better after care from your own country

Don't need after care if they do it correct the first time

It’s been 8 months since mine and I’ve noticed I’m getting a lot of dandruff.

What shampoo and conditioner do you people recommend?

Depends on why you're getting it. How often do you wash your hair, any dry scalp issues?

Regardless, I'd recommend changing shampoo every other month rather than religiously sticking with one, your needs alter over time and depending on various factors. If you have a local Savers you can get some good deals, I usually buy some variant of Tresemme.

I don't have a specific recommendation, but if you have scalp issues, I'd maybe try avoiding shampoos with sulfates in as this can cause dry scalp and irritation. It's used in a lot of shampoo, but they may be too good at cleaning and strip too much natural oils and moisture from hair and skin.

I've been using OGX stuff for a while.

Get some ketaconazole shampoo like Nizoral, great for a flaky scalp but also it's been proven to be effective in the treatment of hair loss.

Anyone tried Dutasteride specifically moved from oral fin to oral dut?

I used to have long hair when I was younger, until my mid 20s. Started going thin in my early 30s so it just gets shaved off and I don't worry about it.

No, but are you worried about side effects or efficacy?

Dutasteride is just a better drug all around. More effective, and seemingly has a lower % of side effects reported despite blocking far more DHT than finasteride.

Yep. I was on oral fin for around a year and a half then changed to dutasteride since I was noticing no sides (apart from a lot more hair on my head).

I've still noticed no sides. I'm taking 0.5mg every day.

Hi guys. Hope everyone is doing well.

I was going through the conversation and noticed that some of you were really happy with your hair transplant results. Would you mind sharing the clinic you went for the procedure?

I have already had one procedure done in 2019, and although it improved the situation, I'm not entirely happy and it only addressed the front part of my head. 50% of my unhappiness is also because of the attitude of the doctor, as initially led me to think he would address my entire head and he wasn't very respectful when discussing with him. I would like to go for a second try, but I have been postponing it, because I don't know of a trustworthy place to go to avoid a similar disappointment.
