Beamodel did you try the neem shampoo? I just saw this, neem being anti testosterone, which lowers your dht, and that's oral so it has to have anti testosterone properties. I'm just scared of the tanglinghttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7817539
It's the same colour as dandruff. I noticed that that each hair that shedded in that area there had this tube like build up wrapped around the whole stand on the root of my hair. After the hair strand came out, I could pull this tube like thing all the way down the strand of my hair. Even a couple of days after washing my hair I could see it there when the hair and follicle was still intact on my scalp and I could some times pull the build up down the strand of my hair. Because this build up seems to grow on and around the follicle I believe it is DHT because it seemed to be suffocating my follicle and make my hair shed a lot easier, which is said to happen when you go bald. I did some research on some baldness forum and saw some men witness the same thing.
Very certain it wasn't the bulb. When I fist joined this forum over 5 years ago I learned the difference between shed hair and breakage so then began a habit of studying my shed hairs for a while. So I am confident that I am aware of what a standard shed hair looks like. I was also able to slide this build up down and my hair would still be attached to the root. Also the DHT blocking shampoo did stop this build up in that area. Also another reason why I say this is because is suffer from mild to medium hirsutism. You may be aware that this creates additional hair growth in woman where men are more likely to have it. This is due to excess hormones called androgens. Also androgens create DHT which is why I am even more certain that the build up was DHT.

we CAN use it topically Yipeeee 
!!!! TheraNeem is a natural product line that actually carries the product. So I'm starting out with Neem oil, pure. I MIGHT use a small bit of jojoba to carry it as I don't know if it likens to penetrate into the scalp like jojoba is known to do. Here are two different brands but both are 100% neem oil and both I think are at Vitacost and Swanson.
). I want to try some in an oil to see if it dissolves so to use it as a growth oil. If that doesn't work as well, so what I'll just use it as our poster uses it as it has REALLY worked for her. Oh and here's another study that shows the HAIR GROWTH STIMULATING properties of caffeine on the hair follicles.

Ladies, UPDATE! @melissa-bee, @Pompous Blue, @Beamodel, @greenandchic, @PJaye, @IDareT'sHair, @all_1_length, @foxxymami, @Cherrypie*, @g.lo Pumpkin Seed Oil PROVEN in study to increase hair diameter (that sounds like counteracting miniaturization) and stimulate hair growth in men with AGA (Androgenic Alopecia/Male or Female Balding/Dht balding) http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4017725/ "Pumpkin seed oil (PSO) has been shown to block the action of 5-alpha reductase and to have antiandrogenic effects on rats. This randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study was designed to investigate the efficacy and tolerability of PSO for treatment of hair growth in male patients with mild to moderate androgenetic alopecia (AGA). 76 male patients with AGA received 400mg of PSO per day or a placebo for 24 weeks. Change over time in scalp hair growth was evaluated by four outcomes: assessment of standardized clinical photographs by a blinded investigator; patient self-assessment scores; scalp hair thickness; and scalp hair counts. Reports of adverse events were collected throughout the study. After 24 weeks of treatment, self-rated improvement score and self-rated satisfaction scores in the PSO-treated group were higher than in the placebo group (P = 0.013, 0.003). The PSO-treated group had more hair after treatment than at baseline, compared to the placebo group (P < 0.001). Mean hair count increases of 40% were observed in PSO-treated men at 24 weeks, whereas increases of 10% were observed in placebo-treated men (P < 0.001). Adverse effects were not different in the two groups." Ladies as I find things that also offers proof in a controlled study, I'll update you on them. So before I've located proof/studies on: [*]Caffeine (2 studies it causes hair growth, 1 in AGA sufferers) [*]Neem (when taken orally significantly decreases testosterone, seek medical attention before doing so. Also it DOES come in a TOPICAL form) [*]Rosemary Oil (Study shows topically it's anti androgenic in AGA sufferers) [*](And now) Pumpkin Seed Oil (this study SHOWS at a certain dosage, increase in hair diameter/thickness and stimulates growth there is even a picture.) Ladies we can DO THIS!
Pompous Blue is this it?? Oh and is the price comparable?
