[@dianatrif7085]

Have you got side effects from finasteride? What dose are you taking? I’m now starting to take it.

[@ShanthiyPrasanna]

let me share something with you that you probably haven't heard before. in early 2022, my hair was thick and dense, but by the end of the year, i noticed a significant amount of hair loss, causing both thickness and density to decrease. however, after adopting several positive habits, i was able to manage my hair fall. firstly, i cut out junk food from my diet, started exercising for 15 minutes daily to improve blood circulation, and drank lukewarm water on an empty stomach to detoxify my body. additionally, i switched to a safe and natural cocoonion shampoo and oil from littleextra and massaged my hair twice a week, washing it after a few hours. as a result, i have seen a reduction in hair fall and the emergence of new hair growth. the bottom line is that by adopting good habits and making lifestyle changes, we can control hair fall.

[@ChooChooRosenbloom]

Thank you so much for this terrific segment. I’m 59 and I just noticed a widening of my hairline and a bald patch just behind my crown. I suspect it’s FPHL. I have had a scalp consultation and will be seeing my GP.

Can I take estrogen supplements to induce hair growth?

[@maryjanney1361]

Am so grateful to you DR RORPOPOR HERBAL on KZbin, for curing my hair loss sickness within 14days, 🌿 his natural supplement.......❣️❣️

[@da4441]

Five years into early menopause, without hormone replacement therapy, I had hair recession at my temples and hair thinning on my crown. After four years and watching this hair loss and realizing it was not temporary, I got on finasteride 2.5 mg per day, topical minoxidil 5% about once a day (but sometimes I skip it), red light therapy with iRestore, and estradiol patches for HRT. Within weeks I had baby hairs grow in the temples where the hair had receeded. When I use up the finasteride, I will switch to dutasteride because it is more effective. I hate the topical minoxidil because it leaves my hair feeling dirty. I may switch to 1.25 mg oral minoxidil, or switch to the topical foam instead of liquid, or discontinue it all together. I am not having any negative side effects other than an itchy scalp which already seems to be diminishing. I am pleased thus far with the hair growth on my balding and thinning areas. Interestingly, the hair growth at my hairline is darker than the rest of my hair.

[@da4441]

​@@ChooChooRosenbloomThe science is unsure. Estrogen seems to be protective of hair follicles. Estradiol supplements may help. The only three medications with proven efficacy for slowing hair loss are dutasteride, finasteride or spironolactone.

[@vikitapatel5934]

Hi doctors, When I was younger, I had thick, strong, shiny hair ("Typical Indian hair"). I am now 24 years old and I lose a lot of hair. I have balding around my crown and my hair is thin, dry, and very brittle where it breaks and falls a lot. I would like to get a blood test done, what do I ask my physician to test? I have routine blood tests and have low iron and vitamin D levels, but I take supplements for this issue. Any feedback is HIGH appreciated. Thank you!!

[@daminisingh1825]

I am also severely deficient in vit d..when I started taking the supplements hairloss stopped for 2months...then again started falling severely... how's ur going on?

[@glendsouza6323]

Hi is chronic diffuse alopecia reversable by taking proper timely medications and treatements and after healing the trigger that once caused the hairloss???

[@KyaKramer]

So, I've had my genome processed into raw data (via 23andMe) and ran through promethease so I could see much more data than 23andMe provides. Several genes related to male pattern baldness does run on my mother's side, and I have at least some of the genes related to that. I wonder if they have any affect on me. I'm addition, I have pretty severe PCOS and therefore suffer from nearly all the related symptoms. I'm in my thirties now, and I've been losing my hair consistently for awhile. I brush my hair tips to roots before showing, and then run a comb through my hair after putting conditioner on. Then I ending up having an even bigger ball of hair. I'm extremely self conscious because my hair is both fine and thin. Is this normal? I don't really have bald spots, just even more thinness than before. For perspective, when I braid all my hair, the width is (at most) and about an inch wide. Wearing hair extensions is possible but difficult as I barely have enough to cover the clips. Should I be concerned?

[@Bakanelli]

Update please…

[@alinaadame9538]

Do you recommend a certain type of vitamin to take to help hair growth?

How can I lower my testostoren? Mine is very high after menopause. Very low estrogen. Can I take estrogen. My hair has about 1/4 amount of what I had before menopause. I am so devasted!! It is still falling out.

[@LightingJedi]

I have thyroid under active & menopause so I take oestrogen progesterone combine body identical patches plus Testogel but have stopped with the Testogel after a year as my hair is shedding way too much at the back of my head when it didn’t before at all .. on top of all that I also suffered a significant loss of my mum very suddenly I wonder if that shock hadn’t helped either

[@Babyslashguns]

Can you please talk about lichen planopilaris in young adult women?

[@pebbles7864]

I have female pattern balding and my derm recommended a supplement called Nutrafol. The dosage is 4 caps once a day. I have been using this exactly as prescribed for about 7 months now. I am noticing slight improvement but expected a little more for being this far along in the treatment. I was originally prescribed Spironolactone to take daily but stopped that becasue I could not tolerate the nausea that it gave me. I was also told to "Hit it with everything!" meaning add Rogaine, but held off waiting to see what kind of results I'd get from the Nutrafol alone. Eventually at about the fourth month of Nutrafol, I did add the Rogaine 5 percent and have been using it once as day as well. Will I ever have better than slight improvement if I keep it up? At what point does one begin to see a marked difference? I have been 100 percent compliant with the Nutrafol and now with Rogaine too. Because the Nutrafol is so expensive I expected more from it, I think. From what I can tell, it is filled with tumeric and I'm wondering if putting tumeric on my food would accomplish the same? Thanks in advance. Sorry so long winded.

[@deborahbertolino9314]

I have been taking Nutrafol for two years and it really isn’t doing much of anything for me but now I’m afraid to go off it because I don’t know if I will lose hair. I am going to start using Rogaine after I see my doctor and I may go on finasteride because I am post menopause. I hated spironolactone Because it dried out my scalp and made me dizzy

[@pebbles7864]

@@deborahbertolino9314 I went off of it for about 4 months now and haven’t lost anything I gained. I’m still using Minoxidil faithfully every day. I don’t think this hair supplement works the same as Rogaine so I wouldn’t expect you to have hair fall when you stop taking it. Best of luck! Minoxidil is helping me more I think.

[@deborahbertolino9314]

Thank you! Did you have any dry itchy or irritable scalp from Rogaine? That is my fear

[@pebbles7864]

@@deborahbertolino9314 I use the foam once a day in the morning and I try not to get it directly on my hair as it will dull the shine. I wash my hair, let it air dry which doesn’t take long, maybe 20 minutes at most, and then part my hair in the thin areas and apply there and rub in. I don’t comb my hair until the foam dries so as not to comb it through my hair which the drying time isn’t much longer than the time it takes me to brush my teeth. I don’t have an itchy scalp at all but if I did I’d just use the occasional dandruff shampoo and I think that would suffice. I’ve tried the minoxidil liquid but it made my freshly washed morning hair look greasy so it was a no for me. I think if you’d find the foam too drying just switch to the liquid. I feel like I’ve tried about everything...but the minoxidil has been the most beneficial. Just don’t stop or your lose all that gained. I’ve done that too, a couple times, but I finally learned 😁

[@deborahbertolino9314]

Good advice, thank you 😊 Can you tell me if Rogaine is color safe? I am a brunette covering gray.

[@italianwithkati]

You haven't talked about LOW progesterone and estrogen dominance.

[@cristinadriviera8144]

kati raf+ No one ever does- it's a mess that's why . If we try to just "add" hormones into the mix of an already destabilised system it does nothing but cause problems. I tried progesterone - made me lose tons of hair and I've seen others do the same. I'm afraid women have to DO EVERYTHING ... Fix underlying health isses , gut and hormone and liver and then find some decent stimulation therapy that doesnt ruin skin- I tried minox and it caused dark circle under eyes in abt a month- I got scared. The hair was def stimulated but what to do about skin? I want to cut my damn head off from the sheer frustration of nothing EVER working or also causing side effect. Im so over it.

I've been using topical minoxidil on the top of my scalp and crown for my FPHL and have seen significant improvement. Over time, it seems like the side of my head have become way worse than the top of my head. Is that normal for FPHL? Or could this be characteristic of telogen effluvium?

[@rileywalker6483]

take a piece of your hair out and place it in water and see what it does. If it floats = low protein if it sinks = too much protein if it hangs out in the middleish = good protein. Most case scenario it’s going to float/rise up near the top. if it floats/rises try rosemary oil hair mask. ( rosemary + avacado oil 1-2 per week- recepies on youtube ) fermented rice water mask ( youtube recepies, 1-2 per week ) onion mask ( onions are high in sufur which makes of 97% of keratin which is the main protein in hair, recipes on youtube) also try dermal rolling with a 1.5mm needle 1-2 per week and switch your shampoo/conditioner to no sulfate/pare bean/silicone. Also try biotin/keratin supplimets. also if you choose to follow through with everything I just listed make sure it’s balanced out because you don’t want to over protein your hair and as you do more research you will learn more about what balanced out means. Like one rosemary mask a week, one derma roll, one rice water along with keratin. The next week a rosemary, derma roll, onion juice along with keratin pills every other day. and if you don’t have textured hair shampoo 2 to 3 times a week max.

There is no need to suffer due to hair loss. Check out hair toppers, hair pieces, and wigs. I wear a hair topper which blends into my natural hair. Sometimes I wear a wig. They are life changers!

What do you recommend as a healthy ferritin (iron store) level for hair? I started at a 9, but my derm doesn’t seem bothered by that number.

[@trinam9402]

That’s just crazy your ferritin is 9!!! If your ferritin levels are low then your thyroid can’t function correctly. I see a hematologist and my ferritin went from a 6 to 118 I can feel an overall difference. Do your own research on ferritin but I found that blood builder, beef organs, and infusions work.

[@jamistevens1913]

@@trinam9402 I’ve seen a hematologist as well that’s offered an infusion but I have no appt yet. I’m a bit scared honestly. 😬 the dermatologist isn’t worried about the low number but the hematologist offered the infusion.

[@trinam9402]

@@jamistevens1913 I was afraid myself I actually had to have 3 infusions. If the hematologist is offering it then it is needed. I had no idea how important blood stores are until I educated myself. I had a child in 2017 and after birth i had a blood transfusion :( I didn’t have much energy to care for my son so I knew I needed to take my health very serious. I watched a few videos here on KZbin Melissa Ramos she’s a nutritionist along with dr berg. It’s been 12 long years of being iron/ferritin deficient. I believe it was caused by going on and off birth control which caused heavy cycles and unbalanced hormones. If your on fb maybe join some anemia groups I was able to get lots of info from others on there.
