Hi Guys, Thank you so much for your help. Pretty much my whole head looks like the middle picture under a microscope, mostly thick hairs but lots with fading of colour and i'm seeing this throughout the donor zone too. Would you suggest this was diffuse thinning and also would you completely rule out a hair transplant at any point for someone like me or can i strengthen the donor and have a transplant?

[@cynthiatucker2147]

Which episode do you talk about stress of the hair after an illness/covid? I had covid in October. My hair was past my shoulder and started come out every time I combed, washed it or touched it. A lot ended in the trash can. My hair is much thinner; it’s not as long. I’m seeing a dermatologist who prescribed Rogaine foam for women but didn’t look at my scalp at all. But for the episode about stress and I don’t have one particular scalp of baldness. Thank you. I forgot to add that by December after covid in October I reported hair loss to primary who referred me to dermatologist.

[@djfhfh]

Normally that's te but I had beautiful hair untill covid now I have female pattern baldness I was a hair model for multiple hair stylists here before covid !!

If there is no pattern baldness but i am facing overall thinning, what medication do i need to use. Presently i am using minoxidil 10 and ketoconazole shampoo.But hair fall is not stopped. Moreover between 2014 to 2018 i have used finestride 1 mg continuously. Later i have stopped it, currently using H vit forte tablets

[@aliabdal1312]

How can I tell which one of the 3 photos, best describe my situation at a given section of hair? Would be great to have photo references

[@tinavancas3607]

My hairloss started, or I noticed it, in October 2022 - clumps of hair were coming out and my overall hair when I was washing it seemed sooo thin. I had covid on 7/30/22 and blood tests in February 2023 that showed ferritin at 14 and vitamin D at 24. So the dermatologist stated I needed iron IV and 50000 IU Vitamin D3. My levels were all fine by May 2023. My hair stopped shedding by February, but my overall hair is so much less dense - my ponytail is less than 1/3 of what it was. I do not notice bald spots or really a substantial spreading of the part but my entire hair is overall much thinner. I notice tons of new hairs but the front of my hair under direct light is very thin almost see through and honestly I don't notice those new hairs growing long enough. Is this really TE and not Androgenic Alopecia? Other than my father no-one else in my family has this. I am not on any medication and I am a 50yo female. Or does it really take this long for your hair to grow back enough to notice increased density and overall thickness? So it has literally been 14 months since this shedding started and my hair continues to get worse not better. Thank you for this video!

So if you’re experiencing miniaturisation and hair falling out from from thyroid complications does all the hair grow back after a few months into correcting the issue? Or will all the miniaturised hair and those that have already come out never grow back and remains a permanent loss?

[@francescomeola]

I second this, the problem is men with thyroid issues can have collateral if you're genetically predisposed to MPB. I'm 24 and My thyroid is not optimal (I am on Levo and T3, still finding a dose) but my hair started getting scary thin so I hopped on finasteride just in case. Its super hard to get conclusive on what is the cause. "More plates more dates" has great content on how you can tell the differences by doing a shed length test.

Hello Dr's, Thanks for the information! I have been on finasteride and using a laser cap for a couple of years with some thickening and reduced loss. However, under a microscope I have reddish inflammation around the hair follicles. My dermatologist said I have minor sebboreic dermatitis. However, it is only in the mpb area. Is there anything that helps topically with DHT mediated inflammation? Topical finasteride? Topical saw palmetto? Thanks

This is exactly the issue I'm having, have been using ketaconazole shampoo which is an antifungal/ weak DHT receptor antagonist, however it hasn't been too effective in my experience but seemed to help somewhat, it might be helpful for you.

I developed aga after covid I'm heartbroken , I think it is aga , it's strange my hairs unpatterned, minituarised hairs are only seen under microscope, hair still looks very thick , there's loads of thinner hair under scope at my part but my part doesn't look any different 🤷 about 6 for evey 20 to 30 hairs , they aren't really thin, just thinner I'm so confused I've also been told because I have follicles that contain both thin and thick hair I have aga ? Is this right I've paid to see 5 professionals and they have all said I don't have androgenic alopecia and that unfortunately I found being unwell and having to lose my hair extremely tramatic that it's possible the problem could be post tramatic stress , I have been told I did have te after covid but my hair should return but then one told me I told I do as there's thinner hairs , I was sick when I was 21 and lost my hair due to it and I'm absolutely devestated at the prospect of going through it again

[@matthewlew822]

Hi guys. I'm really loving these videos and have only just come across them. They've great. Very helpful and insightful. I have had 2 hair transplants (FUT) and am very happy with it. Frontal hair line and crown. This was a few years back now. I'm on minoxidil and was on finasteride too , but was put onto Ditasteride instead. Apparently that's a bit better and is meant to be slightly better. . But am now seeing sparse Ness, in the front, where it was initially looking thicker. My hair is very fine and not strong at all. It does snap easily and is quite long. I do straighten it too, Twice a week. So I know this probably doesn't help. But it's not strong at all my hair. This sparse Ness has only really appeared, in the last year or so. I've been told my genetics are catching up with me. That I might be loosing the battle. I almost think it went like this when I changed to disateride. Could this be actually working against me? Is it too much and maybe finasteride was good enough. Plus I'm hating the side effect of body hair, disateride is giving me big time. Just interested in your thoughts on this. Thanks gents. Happy to send a photo to you, to see. Cheers. Matt.

If the hair miniaturized due to the binding of androgen hormone with the hair follicle receptor. Is it possible to flash out the androgen hormone from the receptor and clear the pathway for blood circulation into the hair follicle? Then maybe the too thin hair could thick again and further hair loss could be stoped. Is there any medicine that serves the purpose? if not then is it possible to discover that sort of medicine?

[@bilalayub5474]

Nope. Best we can do is Finasteride which CAN reverse miniaturization a little, but if the follicle is 50% miniaturized even fin can’t do anything. Just gotta pray you catch it early and save as much hair as you can

How much does it take from someone to go from "incipient androgenetic alopecia" - the second picture... to get to the 4 or 5 on a norwood scale? The better question would be how fast does the balding progress once it starts? I've been diagnosed with the hair dermoscopy device as having "incipient androgenetic alopecia"... Been using some commercial shampoo after it. It has been 5 months since than and i think the situation is getting worse so thats why im asking about the speed of progress of balding in general... Im very glad i stumbled upon your videos. Hopefuly ill get a recepie for finasteride tomorrow.

[@bilalayub5474]

That depends on the individual. Some people have very fast and aggressive progression of balding, while others are slow: unfortunately the rate of hair loss is another thing pre determined by genetics

[@djfhfh]

That depends on the person some people never do go onto the next stage my gran had ABIT of thinning at her temples never used anything for it and it never progressed much past a certain point she still had good bit of hair for her age when she passed , her crown got a little thinner to look at on close inspection but it didn't progress like her sisters they say between 5 and 15 years

[@dayumboydayum8461]

Yeah the last thing I want to do is regret not taking it and then going inevitably bald. I’ve read a lot on 0.2mg dosage every other day and I think I’ll just give that a go. I’m 26 and people have recently started commenting on the thinning 😫

[@dayumboydayum8461]

f rad how long have you been using it now ?

[@dayumboydayum8461]

Rob de la casa let us know how you get on bro

[@3260ELEMENT]

I use 0.5mg 3 times per week for 2 months, but i haven't seen any results yet. Have you seen people with results on this dose?

[@bestopinion9257]

0.5 mg of what?

Why didn't you fellows talk about miniaturized hair during hairline maturation?

[@rishyasirungen9211]

What do you mean? Is it ok to have miniaturised hair in the front hairline...

[@Jay_One_Off_Urdu]

Dr Vikram needs to up his game I'm afraid.

what you mean?

[@danieldimitrov2221]

I am a Norwood 3 at the age of 23 , i don't have any bald people in my family , how likely is it that i become bald at the age 30-40

[@TheHairLossShow]

No idea. There is no way of predicting that.

How do you know if your hair loss is too advanced to reverse?

[@TheHairLossShow]

At the end of the day, you will be the best judge if there is any improvement following starting on the treatment. As we have said, success is maintaining stability. That is the key. Anything else is a bonus.

[@rmbouwens]

The Hair Loss Show yeah. The problem I have is that my expectations are too high. I’m setting myself up for failure that way.

[@TheHairLossShow]

@@rmbouwens Hence why you have to understand that hair loss is a progressive condition. As yet, we have not found the 'cure'. Hence trying to get stability is a big win.

[@connerthorston6750]

90 percent of the hair I lose is miniaturized some as small as 1/3 the size of my fingernail. Its like as soon as the hair sprouts it falls off. Does this mean I have aggressive mpb or could this be caused by something else? Im a 25 year old male. Big supporter of this channel please keep this amazing content coming!

[@deanambrose9746]

I have same problem. Do you find any possible explanation

[@tutu966]

Updates brother? I m on fin and my hairs are also shedding like this only, small. But my doc said fin is just pushing out smal ones for the healthy ones.

Same experience here. Both long and shot hairs. Found your answer yet?

Can finashride stop her thinning for good.

[@TheHairLossShow]

No. It will slow it down, there is still a 'slow leak' of hair loss.

Is stinging nettle root effective as a DHT blocker ?

[@Hackhamster]

just use cb-03-01 my friend with stemox as a carrier or alfatradiol

why not just use the FDA approved DHT blocker??

Can you do a video on diffuse pattern and unpattern alopecia and the treatment options for someone with unpattern alopecia

[@user-qr8gp3xl9h]

Topical Finasteride

[@janneus]

Does finasteride help on this?

[@roberttomaino4080]

If it is caught early, yes it can reverse it. I would estimate your hair still needs to be 50% healthy for Finasteride to reverse it and make it healthy once again. Once the hair is thinned below 50% and becomes similar to a vellus hair, than most likely Finasteride cannot recover it back to a healthy growing terminal hair again.

[@abhinaykumar39]

Bro any side effects? And kaunsi brand ki use kr rahe ho please name it

[@vizmouli]

So Minodoxl does not increase the count of hair, it only increases the thickness of existing hair and also prolongs the growth phase. So what that means is some more coverage but you cant make bald spot go away like we see in the monodoxil Advertisements

[@labornurse]

Why does testosterone grow hair on the body, but cause loss on the scalp?

[@Babymakers]

Testosterone converts to another androgen called dihydrotestosterone which is a key hormone during male puberty. However, certain genetics like skull shape, elasticity, and hair density affect hair follicles disproportionally on the skull and floating DHT (dihydrotestosterone) in the blood stream attaches to the skull’s follicles and damage the cells weakening the cycle of hair with each phase until the hair strand is nothing more than a wisp or speck that is non-existent to the naked eye.

[@Danny-wb2zr]

All the photographs look from different heads...

[@TheHairLossShow]

Same head. Hair miniaturisation looks different on different parts of the scalp.

[@mikeg4691]

You can definitely reverse miniaturization from 3 to 1.

[@dhileepanm]

how?

Dr Jayprakash needs to talk respectfully and let the other doctor speak. Either do the video yourself or learn to do the video in synch with the other doctor.
