I have the same type of hair loss as my father. My father suggested not using shampoo, saying that his hair loss was better after not using it. I haven’t been shampooing for two days, and my hair FEELS thicker and fuller, but I’m not sure if that’s just a placebo effect. Will NOT using shampoo cause more hair loss, because of sebum build-up etc? If you don’t wash your hair, you will build up grease and grime from the environment, as well as wax from the glands located in each hair follicle which secrets sebum. Your hair may appear thicker as the grime builds up, but this will not impact hair growth one way or the other. Tags: shampoo , hairloss , hair loss

Dear Dr. Rassman, Please read the link: RepliCel Announces Retraction of Public Disclosure Do you hear the fat lady singing for Replicel (and us balding lucky ones)? Thanks I had the link to the original press release and intended to write about it early this week, but saw it was removed. This explains it. For those that aren’t aware, RepliCel issued a press release touting their hair loss “cure” and promoting the price of their stock. Then they issued a retraction of the statement, which is causing some on various forums to believe they aren’t hitting their targets. It sounds to be more like lawyers making sure they aren’t going to dig too deep a hole, but I really don’t know one way or the other. The link you sent about the retraction doesn’t mention anything about results of their treatment. Tags: replicel , hairloss , hair loss , press release

What are your views on the new Nanogen Serum VEGF, and the (very big!) claims it makes? I read about it in a magazine and wanted to yawn, but sucked my yawn back in when I saw the excitement of some of its supporters… Link: £30 serum goes on sale to beat baldness Reason tells me it will not make hair transplants redundant…but what about minoxidil? If not, is it worth adding to one’s arsenal of hair loss products? I have no experience with Nanogen’s Serum VEGF, but the notion that increasing blood supply to the scalp increases hair growth or reverses balding is wrong, illogical, and not scientific. The link you sent looks to be a press release disguised as a news article. To me, it sounds like yet another product in a long line of products that try to dangle a carrot in front of balding men in hopes that they chase it. In other words, you can try it out if you’re curious, but I wouldn’t expect it to regrow hair. Tags: nanogen , serum vegf , hairloss , hair loss

From the article: The Health Ministry has recalled hair-loss treatment drug “Crescina”, on grounds that it doesn’t make hair re-grow. Consumer organisation Codacons announced that it will take legal action against the move in support of those people who have already bought the drug. “All the people who bought the product, out of confidence in the miraculous effects of Crescina, have the right to be refunded. Moreover, after the molecule that was supposed to make hair re-grow was proved to be ineffective, those who in good faith used Crescina can even claim compensation for the moral damages caused by the deceit”, said Codacons president Carlo Rienzi. Source — Health Ministry recalls ineffective hair-regrowth drug We wrote about Crescina back in 2007 ( see here ) and said back then that, “ I wouldn’t look to this for hair regrowth “. Now Italy feels the same way. Tags: crescina , fraud , scam , hairloss , hair loss

Hello Dr. Rassman, First off – great site and on behalf of everyone, your honesty and integrity is certainly refreshing. I’m sure you’re sick of the Lasercomb questions by now, but I was wondering if you had a chance to look over the following new macro photos on the Hairmax site . In order to accentuate the visibility of the results, they actually circle the new hairs that grew as a result of the treatment. I know one of the previous criticisms of your earlier analysis of the original photos was that the images that you based your assessment on were not high resolution. These macro photos are high resolution and seem to indicate that some growth did occur. Strangely though, there appear to be hairs that existed in the before picture, that are no longer present in the after photos. One might get the impression that there was some ’selective circling’ going on. Just looking to get your thoughts. Much appreciated. For those that missed it, I analyzed their “results” photos back in 2006 — Analyzing the Results of the HairMax Laser Comb . I looked at the link you sent, but I am not willing to make the invested time to analyze it again. Is there selective circling? I don’t know. There’s nothing there that will change my negative opinion of the effects of the laser combs. Sorry! Tags: lasercomb , laser comb , hairmax , lllt , laser , hairloss , hair loss

Hello, I’ve read a good deal of your responses to many questions and a lot of them are pretty negative about the product they are questioning. I am a firm believer in reality regardless how excruciatingly painful it might be to hear the truth. But I wanted to ask since you seem so skeptical about all the hair products I’ve seen asked about (propecia, proceria, provillus) what do you recommend? Is there any help out there? Or are we just doomed to losing hair? I am a big fan of Propecia (finasteride) and minoxidil, as they are FDA approved and proven to treat hair loss. I’ve seen both of them work, with particularly good results from Propecia (finasteride 1mg). Some medications have minoxidil in them and may work to regrow hair, but if that is the case, I am sure if you look at the costs per dose you might be surprised at how expensive they turn out to be. Since minoxidil is available as an over the counter generic medication, many products include it as the active ingredient with a variety of other vitamins and such that don’t add much besides a new name and higher price.

I have been reading through the blog and reading your posts on Low Level Laser Therapy (the laser comb). What I am not understanding is why you are so against it? If it has FDA approval, double blinded clinical trials, and is backed by many hair restoration doctors why do you disapprove? It does NOT have FDA approval . It has FDA clearance for marketing, and the product was grandfathered in . We haven’t seen lasers work as claimed anywhere and on anyone that could be said to be objective. I’ve written about this topic many times before. Further reading can be found here . Tags: laser comb , lasercomb , laser , lllt , hairloss , hair loss

Dr Rassman I use Dermmatch concealer regularly. After many years of using, i just found out that Dermmatch (like every cosmetic) has an expiration date, 18 months after first opening. Didn’t know that and i’m pretty sure i’ve used dermmatch opened for more than 18 months. I do get some scalp pimples occasionally . How worried should i be? You can just stop using the expired product and purchase a fresh product. I wouldn’t be too worried, but if you are really worried about changes in your scalp, see your doctor.

In one of the most clever videos we’ve seen of late, Leonor Greyl has come out with this cute parody of The Artist , complete with adorable Jack Russell, hot guy, and well-placed beauty mark. Look for a cameo from Louise Moon, who is Jean Dujardin’s groomer in real life (and creator of the Academy Award-winner’s Oscars-night hairstyle). She plays the stylist who’s fixing up our hero while he flirts with a cute Peppy stand-in. You definitely have to have seen the movie to find this spot charming, but fans of the film may find themselves suddenly inspired to start using more hair products.
