poor looking hair

	Question

hello i have thinning hair for 10 years because of male pattern baldness. but i have it under control. i use minoxidil + folligen ( or fabao 101 g + folligen if i can get fabao) and both works excellent for me. this regimen stops my hair loss and grows new hair. but my hair does not look good. sometimes it looks as it was when i was young but it longs 1 or 3 days. my hair generally looks poor. i am trying to solve this problem. i think that if my hair looks healthy for a few days, if i solve the problem it should look healthy always. is it because i am not using a dht blocker or my regimen is not strong enough? what can i do? if you have an opinion please help me. thanks.

CMH, I am not surprised that you are still struggling with the male pattern hair loss. First, you are not using the medication which is the most effective treatment for male pattern hair loss (Propecia). Propecia has been proven to work better than minoxidil. Also, I am sorry to inform you that the FABIO 101 product does not contain any ingredients that have been proven to grow hair (CHECK YOUR BOTTLE!!) The most common solution for male pattern hair loss is by using a combination of propecia (to stop future hair loss) and hair transplantation (follicular-unit micrografting) to safely, comfortably and undetectably restore hair into the thinning or balding areas. Let me know if this makes sense. Sincerely, Dr. B.
