Too late for me.

I threw out my combs years ago

I have been using the pill for a couple of years.

I do find hair growth, not only on the head but other parts of the body.

That is something to be careful about.

Too late for me.

Same here. The guy in the photo getting his hair cut is a ginger, I doubt he will be taking this drug. Baldness probably cannot come soon enough.

My wife treats my hair with oil twice a day for decades. I don't have a bald patch.

Who cares about baldness? The only thing unattractive about it is being insecure about it. If its thinning, shave it off and keep it trim. You really want to take medication for that?

More and more hope for baldies, but underlying health problem of hair loss usually due poor blood circulation and stress management to name a few = very serious.

Most people not eating enough fiber, probably easiest natural 'fix' along with deep breathing, but far better if you grow up with parents with Common Health Sense,

That way you're far more likely to keep your hair and even more important than vanity, your health. It also helps to be rich and have great genetics.
