Im a cancer surviver and i've been bold ever since (4 years) Im now 24. I just accepted that my fate and didnt consider been bold to much of a price for my life. But I came across your channel and im going to try to grow it back. Hope it works. Edit: Its kind of working, I didnt start inmediatly after this comment. I'm 4 moths in.
The advise you provided are truly helpful. I was dealing with hair fall, but then I started using the reeactivate serum along with coocoonion shampoo together. In just two months, I am noticing a positive difference in the density of my hair. I can tell it's effective!
A very important disclosure when using Minoxidil on any %, first you might experience the side effects such as more hair falling out, but after using it a few months (up to 6) you will see results. It's very important to be consistent and not give up if you see more hair falling out
It's not hair loss, but it is pushing hairs into the growing phase. Hair has to fall out for new to grow, so when using minoxidil it will push out a lot of hair before they all start growing back@@xdxangeloxbx
My hair fall has reduced and I'm seeing new baby hairs growing because of these steps: 1. oil once or twice a week and leave it on for at least 1 hour. 2. Shampoo your hair twice/once a week and condition accordingly. 3. Apply Reactivate hair serum serum by littlelextraa daily. 4. Regularly trim your hair at a specific time, e.g., once a month or twice. 5. Don't checking at your hair for weeks and so. 6. Avoid taking any stress.
I’m applying reacvtivate hair serum and cocoonion hair oil. I apply the oil twice a week and the serum daily. I’m experiencing positive hair growth results.
my hair is growing very fast now. i spray the reeactivate hair growth serum daily. i occasionally make homemade hair masks with bananas and honey. after leaving it on for about 30 minutes, i wash it off with the coconiioon shampoo from littleexttra. this has reduced my hair fall, and within 2 months, i started to see baby hairs growing.
For me minoxidil 5% didn't show visible hair growth, except that it helped not to fall off. BUT rosemary oil seems to actually work! After over 1 week of using rosemary oil before sleep as a spray, i can see new small hairs where i did not have any.
@@NaturaBreeze i bought rosemary oil from aromatica, it's a brand from south Korea, it has more ingredients, but results are visible for me after 1 month of use and it's a spray...
@@sathyansaravanan1710 i don't know if its a concentrated oil or not or if its dilluted or not, but you can try for a week any kind i guess and see what happens? i saw some results after aprox. 1 week of applying it before sleep
Zeph, I have been following you for nearly 2 years. Your journey has inspired me to try all of your suggestions. I got a FUE in February of 2015, but I want fuller hair without another procedure. I added topical min/fin from Happy Head last July. After about 3 months I started seeing results. The progress has continued. My hair has definitely thickened overall. Supposedly, I must wait about two years to see full effect of the topical min/fin. I am 58, so I am trying to not be unrealistic. Since I use hair root/shadow I feel so much better about my hair. I had been wearing hats way too much and always unsatisfied with pics of me.
My boyfriend is bald and I am continuing to look for products and processes that he might be open to to regain some hair. Like you described, he wears a hat almost 24/7. I like the ball caps....but the touques in the winter...sheesh...never takes them off even indoors or at Christmas dinner! He won't say, but it must be hard on the esteem. Alas, he doesn't really have a great head shape for baldness, though if he could be confident, that would make a difference. I can see he is uncomfortable being bald. I applaud you on your commitment to keeping your hair. Looks great. I am not sure he would be willing to do all of that....I would need to just pick one or two things that he would be willing to try and see if that helps. He reported his hair loss after a very stressing period in his life...I didn't know him at that time...and he said it doesn't run in his family. It just never came back. The stress also resulted in some lost teeth. He is a mess really. lol. No self care happening I am afraid.
Your results are fantastic. Well done for being so disciplined. I’m female and trying daily scalp massage, weekly rosemary oil mix and I’ve switched to a silk pillowcase. I feel like hair shedding has decreased since I started 2 months ago but it’s too early to see new growth. I’m hoping it will come. I plan to add rosemary water as a rinse and will reevaluate my diet and supplements. Hope I can see great progress like you.
Thank you for your advice, you are a real case of success and I followed you long ago on instagram, good that you opened TH-cam where everything is clearer.
Channels that tell the truth, with a hair transplant will always be more appropriated. Black seed oil, is also a DHT blocker and Anti inflation oil. I've mixed Rosemary oil with E-cava. Your hair looks great 👍
The hair on my head started thinning significantly following an extremely stressful period I went through. Consequently, I researched the internet & decided to try a hair oil called litttleextra coocoonion and a comb made of neem wood. It really definitely worked. At present, I have lengthy, dense, black hair which has grown down to my waist and cut off on three occasions after I started. Simple and good. Additionally, just as effective can be rubbing your scalp - it stimulates hair growth. You only must do this once a week. Pretty soon, you'll see new hair growing in.
Bought this Cocooonion hair shampoo for dealing with hair thinning and dandruff problems. My scalp become irritated and flaky. I felt frustrated with the flaky scalp. After much research, I finally decided to give this shampoo a go. After initial use, I observed my hair was soft and my scalp felt less itchy. I generally use shampoo two times a week and within 2 days, dandruff used to come back. However after using this shampoo, that was not the case. I chose to keep using this shampoo to track the outcomes. It's been close to seven months since I started and my dandruff problem is no longer an issue. Virtually no hair fall has been observed. I'm glad that I made this step and followed the routine. In summary, an amazing product.
Minoxidil 5% 2 times a day everyday Oil twice a week 4-8 hrs rosemary + pumpkin or castor Dermastamp 1.5mm once a week 2 -3 times, don't apply anything for 6 hrs
Do you know that minoxidil does not need to be applied twice a day? Once a day is enough as long as the product lasts between 18 to 21 hours. The twice a day prospect indication is because they still apply the original 1984 study. Another important thing with minoxidil for it to work is being able to transform the compound into sulfotransferase (a few either men or women scalps are not able to do so).
Thanks to tell us your journey =) Here in UK, there are brands who use oils with minoxidil to have an alcohol-free solution. It works best for me having very long hair because I noticed that after a few months the alcohol solution was making my hair much drier and the feeling wasn't great! With Finesteride, I only applied topically mixed with minoxidil but I experienced very strong heart palpitations after a couple of months, so I had to stop that (I even have very low blood pressure!) :( I had no courage to do the microneedling even if I bought a pen ages ago..never heard about the stamp which can be useful in the back area where I guess it's more difficult to do it with a pen! Thanks again!!!! Well done for your results!
you do realise minoxidil is literally a blood pressure medication used to lower blood pressure(albeit with side effects of hair growth), so one can assume it is the minoxidil causing both the heart palpitations and low blood pressure not finasteride.
@@connorshanks9931 Hey Connor, I do know that. I used Minoxidil alone before without any side effects, hence I was quite sure it was finasteride. I'm back on usign topical minoxidil+finasteride together and it seems ok so far! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I did scalp massage for a year before discovering I was a minoxdil hyperresponder and reversing my hair loss in 3 months, I don't think that it does anything and I was fairly consistant at an average of 30minutes a day, the commitment was real I still think that massage holds some benefit, but not the mainstream technique Feel the bone that runs from your cheekbones to the front of your ears on each side of the face, above it you will feel a tense muscle massage it by pressing it with your fingers until it's perfectly relaxed, then massage your tamples. You might also feel a tense muscle there You should then notice that your whole frontal scalp is less tense, which if the scalp tension hypothesis is true would be beneficial for preventing hair loss/promoting regrowth Appart from that massage technique that basically tries to relax your scalp perimeter muscles I don't think that playing with the skin for 42 minutes a day does anything. Also my technique takes 1 minute and you can just do it whenever you feel that the muscles are tensing up
I think that there is another compound that you can take with minoxidil that turns non responders into responders, Heard it from MorePlatesMoreDates, microneedling can do that as well And you can also chose to be bald it's fine@@g.3521
I found u in my recommendations. No chemicals ! Try this: 1. Wash your hair, dry them. Hair should be damp. 2. Apply castor oil to damp hair (especially on areas of the scalp with less hair). 3. Put a transparent bag or shower cap on your head. 4. Do not remove from your head for 2 hours! The head should be warm (you can also put a regular winter hat on your head). 5. After 2 hours, wash off the castor oil with warm water. The main thing is to use a minimum of shampoo. Do not use a hair dryer! The hair should dry on its own. 6. Repeat the procedure every time you wash your hair. The effect will be noticeable after 2 weeks. Important ! Small and short hair will begin to grow first. When there is a lot of hair on your head, you can cut your hair bald and repeat the procedure again. New hair will already grow constantly.
so ketoconazole shampoo and then followed by rosemary oil, and I don't wash the oil out, it does burn but not bad, I noticed that my hair stoped falling because of that, and the thickness increased a bit, the speed of hair growing stayed the same.
@@lagavulin7194 there are some studies that say it helps with growth, but its a small study and the results were insignificant, I still use it because it stops dandruff
I'm a woman who suffers from androgenetic alopecia and this is actually very helpful to me! Thanks. (It is to be noted though for other women reading this that finasteride has not been approved for use by women).
I am having hair loss problem and I almost got tired of it and was contemplating a transplant in the near future when my brother gave me another bottle of minoxidil and I thought well start again. This is like a year or two after I completely stopped trying. So I shaved my head and I started applying. And yesterday I suddenly came across your shorts video and it hugely inspired me. I feel I can do it too. Thank you brother. I just have a question. As you're using a minoxidil 5% solution and a finasteride shampoo, I use minoxidil 10% in combination with finasteride. And occasionally use ketoconazole shampoo as I have dandruff issue too. Would you suggest I carry on with this or would you recommend some changes? Hoping to get a reply brother. And thanks once more. 💟
Just a heads up. Ive had dandruff issues myself big time. This may be hard to do for all people but after 30 years of trying everything I finally fixed it. I eliminated preservatives from my diet. My skin is no longer dry n flakey. If I eat at a restaurant or drink booze, it comes back with out debate. I don’t know if this might help but I hope it does. I wish someone would have taught me this decades ago.
Like Chief said diet has a lot to do with dandruf. My case was very bad, had to fix my gut bacteria, many things we eat are too agressive. Stop any sodas and milk, gluten, alcohol seed oils helped very much
I hear you completely, I've started out with a full head of hair but my hairline was high. Then it transitioned to a non-balding maturing hairline which was straight but wasnt balding, at this point I still couldnt do much because I didnt have a small forehead. Now? I regret not appreciating what I have, from 16 I had an amazing full head of hair, by 19 I was Norwood 1 and it just progressively got worse and worse. I'm at a point now where I have a V hairline I have baby hairs on my temple making it extremely difficult to hide it through a long haired combover. I'm now 27, I've been wearing hats throughout my entire 20s and I've had enough. Enough is enough, Ive been in denial for treatment, been denial for a hair transplant. I'm going to start committing to some real treatment because I'm tired of not liking what used to be my best feature in High School (my hair).
I was wondering have you thought about adding Collagen Peptides and/or Nutrafol to help work from the inside out. Peptides have helped a little bit with me (also with my skin, nails, and joints (from squats and such), without having started a routine like yours, which thank you for uploading. Maybe with the addition to those aspects it would help even more.
I'm trying your suggestion of mixing rosemary oil (30 drops) with castor oil (1 tbsp) and this is a lot isn't it? my hair is super greasy and the oil is oozing down my scalp into my forehead. Is that normal? lol
thank you for detailed instructions and all the research. literally, that is everything that could be done to regrow the hair. My frontline is thinning a bit at 18 y.o. that's why i am starting early. i hope i will get great results as you did :)
can i use essential oils overnight for hair growth on a daily without building up tolerance? I heard it can attract dirt and block hair follicle using it overnight..
Great result keep it up but problably finastride not working with all I had such experience from finastride i got tenderness and chest pain and stopped it for almost a month then returned to topical finastride and got same side effects after few days of using it
Looks so good!! All the men in my family lose hair like crazy as they near their twenties. Most shave the rest by the time they’re 25-30. Meanwhile, all the women in my family have a LOT of hair. Pregnancy hormones seemed to double thickness and length of my hair during those years. Not kidding. The pictures surprise even me, now that I’m past those years. Now, I’m putting minoxidil on and microneedling my 17 yo son because he’s thinning above the temples. So unfair for the men! We love you both ways, but understand the desire to keep your hair.
At what month did you start feeling the oral finasteride side effects? I ve been taking it for 3 months now and feel zero difference! My doctor said that 1mg will never cause any side effects, and if it does it is probably more of psychosomatic response. 5mg though, that people with prostate issues take, will generate side effects. Just curious to know. Thanks in advance.
Hi Zeph. Been following your videos religiously since I stumbled across them. Can u do a small routine of stamping or dermal rolling? Beginning with sanitising them and storage. Would really appreciate that. Thanks
I started my reversing hair loss routine after seeing your videos and have some doubts regarding applying these products. I use minoxidil twice a day, when should I use the rosemary oil with that and how long should I wait to use multiple products in between ?? and how many times I should use these oils?? when should I shampoo my hair, also have to use conditioner too, after the use of that is it okay to use minoxidil right away? It's quite many questions😊😊 and I couldn't get proper answers for these questions. Hope you could help me. Thank you. 😇
Hey, I'm curious about your take on whey protein. I work out regularly and am a bit unsure about whether I should include whey in my routine. If you do use it, do you prefer concentrated or isolate? Thanks!
Don't use it. Get organic alfalfa powder instead. Tastes like shit but it's packed with amino acids and minerals. They feed it to horses to build muscle. Mix it with fruit juice it tastes a bit better
I started balding when I was 16! The amount of bullying I received because of it caused me to have some serious depression, anxiety and trauma. Now I wear a hat every single day and have a mental breakdown if someone takes it off. I’m 30 now and im not completely bald, I’ve been able to manage it but i am still very much balding. Im going to try this method and hope for the best. I miss feeling free
I tried topical minoxidil/fin vcombo but it made my eyes puffy and my face too. I’m a bad responder, so I had to quit. I really looked bad and look so much better now. Wish I coulda kept using but that’s life. I’m getting a transplant
Actually, Rosemary oil in its own is at least (!) as effective in treatment of the AGA, as Minoxidil (2%), applied topically. And it doesn't (under normal conditions) cause telogen effluvium once discontinued. Nettle is a far more potent agent of capillary perfusion than the Minoxidil, and it also have some phytosterols that competitively inhibit the binding of the DHT to the androgen receptors at the hair follicle. So in a nutshell, many bioactive molecules isolated from the plants are just as effective, if not more, than Minoxidil, if possibly not as effective in the general population as finasteride. So yes, you could have used Rosemary oils instead of the Minoxidil, especially if dissolved in the pumpkin or castor oil.
My own hair growth success story, I did the following, and it worked on my brother too: 1. Scalp Massage for 30 minutes a day everyday - this is VITAL. Make sure whole scalp moves. Intend to make blood move when you do it. 2. Taoist Soap for hair Growth 2x a day: works on inflammation side, as well as stimulates hair growth by herbs. 3. Nettle leaf tea everyday to detox liver from hormone residue (vital to at least start balancing hormones as they are almost always involved). 4. Vinegar rinse after shower (just dilute any fruit based vinegar in a water bottle, and pour over head after shower, leave in, patt dry with towel). 5. Collagen 2x a day everyday to provide all nutrition needed for hair growth in the right away, not silly biotin or b12 on its own. It does work, and its the only natural way.
Tried it all from chemicals etc never works Been researching some stuff and it seems massages work ok not sure what sort of results a norwood 7 could get from natural but even if it reaches norwood 3 would be happy..... can you list brands?
@@anawag66 any brand works fine as long as says source from bovine. And is hydrolyzed (which most are, and says on packaging). Only brand with no alternatives is Taoist soap which is their own website.
I used minoxidil before and I’ve got a good results, but now I added rosemary and derma stamp, I hope to grow back my hair , and thank you fir sharing your journey it helps alot
@@patronzulfanpeople differ but usually after 6 months you’ll start seeing results and also check your progress with photos not just by looking at the mirror
you shouldn’t use rosemary and minoxidil together, also you should use rosemary oil with jojoba oil, once or twice a week, lastly you can use minoxidil without the alcohol version which tbh you should buy rn, its called the solution base which is just pure minox, works much better and would solve your drying scalp/dandruff problem, in india here we use that only
Hey zeph, how is it possible to wash your hair only 2 times per week? After applying so many oils and 2xtimes per day minoxidil it should look really greasy the second day . That’s what is happening with me at least . Am I wrong ? How can you stay with greasy hair that long? Thanks!
I rinse my hair with water after working out because my hair is thin it washes out pretty easy and carries me until was day day 3/day 4 is when my hair gets greasy
Most of it's minoxidol and the effect the routine it has on your mental health. My hair was going rly fast in the way yours looked before the routine and i decided to use minoxidil and dermaroller and seen results crazy fast.
Btw studies show .5 is most effective 1 a week Check out tb-500 for blood flow and hair follicle stimulation and etc Also I got some ghkcu copper peptides serum and shampoo Plus vitamins high dose I also am losing more hair due to Covid x 2 and it’s getting bad man all of a sudden So I’m doing everything but just started 3 weeks ago I’m getting the serum and shampoo tomorrow. Studies show it works well.. lots of people with hair loss genetics and dht issues have regrown hair I am taking castor oil and rosemary oil.. but damn its gooey I thanks for info
Great video! Do you think leaving out the minoxidil but keeping everything else in the routine would yield good results? I've used minoxidil before and I'm not the biggest fan, but im happy its worked well for you! I've heard good things about finasteride as an alternative and have been wanting to try it out. Would i just substitute the 2x a day minoxidil w the finasteride or stick to 1x a day?
finasteride is not a substitute for minoxidil. Finasteride bloks some DHT production in the body, while minoxidil stimulates blood flow in the folicles. If DHT continues to build up in those folicles, hair will continue to fall off.
For maximum efficiency you need all treatments: Finasteride, minoxidil and microneedling in deep length. If possible Tretinoin is also a magical with minoxidil combo.
@@g.3521 0.3 to 0.6 is enough only for topical absorption, you simply penetrate the epidermis which is enough for absorption of topicals. But for all the benefits like inducing growth factors, collagen production and follicle proliferation you need to reach the dermis which for most of us is 1mm-1.5mm deep. Going deep isn’t dangerous but it’s little more painful with some pinpoint blood.
I would appreciate if you answer this. I’ve been using topical minoxidil for the last 2 years and I’ll start now to use topical finasteride. How should I apply both of them at night? Should I apply minoxidil first and then wait some minutes to let it dry and then apply finasteride? I don’t know exactly how should I do this combination
Hye really inspiring that you actually made it... Where does rosemerry water rinse fit in this schedule..? When to apply rosemerry water with minoxidil
Hey zeph what is the dosage of your finastrade? And also why don’t you take it combined with minoxidil and finastrade topically rather than taking individual, we can get it from like keeps and hims maybe compund phyarmasy please let me know what’s your thoughts on it thanks my friend.
i started losing my hair since last year its not that bad but still my front head is little visible and its very dificult since i am student and can't buy product because of money issue still i am trying little things like massaging my head drinking good amount of water and proper diet i hope it works
Can you go into greater detail about the shock lost your experience from the minoxidil? Is the reason why I don't want to use it because I used it before my shock lost lasted about 3 to 4 months. I just recently got a hair transplant and I'm already going through shock loss now in my 3.5 months of recovery and so I don't want to use minoxidil and prolong that shock loss any longer.
Minoxidil concerns me to be taken by someone who does not need heart medication. I have thinning at the back of the head above the part, a bit at the front and a decent amount at my temples. I was hoping to find something to reverse it, but would like to avoid heart medication.
I took oral fin + min 5% foam and had side effects that took almost a year to get over. I'm still getting palpitations but the panic attacks have subsided once I started keto 10 months later. In the first few months it was crippling, I had panic attacks several times a day every day. Now I have a genuine fear of putting those medicines back in my body.
lots of good suggestions. However, I don't agree on being so particularly careful with microneedling and topical minoxidil "together". My last 5 years's experince with that is: I went from A- minoxidil (5%) 2 X day + microneedling 1 X week - not applying minox that day of the week, to B- minox (5%) 2 X day and microneedling 2-3 X Week also with minoxidil on the he same days as microneedling, to C- minox (5%) 2 X day and *right before it dries, dermarolling it every time down the scalp while still wet* it only takes 3 minutes per "application"; I'd say: very effective time usage ! *C* is when I saw the best results (say, 3 to 4 months later, to be precise) no side effects whatsoever. every - on average - 3 days I'll skip one application (I forget about it, I am somewhere else and can't, or I simply don't feel like it because I'm already under the blanket when it hits me 🤣) and this does nothing to the acquired results. My hair "coverage" went from: - Norwood maybe 4-5 a Norwood 3-4 with (A), then - Norwood 3-4 to solid Norwood 3 with (B), then - up to where I am now, brink of Norwood 2, doing (C). BTW: I am 57 YO, so I should have noticed a further DECREASE - if I had done nothing - in the last 5 years (maybe Norwood 6.7 by now?) so it's even more impressive, I think? DO NOT WORRY ABOUT MINOX *going "systemic"* it does not (or, it does, but with no consequences) with needles' length up to 1,5 mm (maybe 1 mm when really BALD) and *it definitely does NOT "hurt as hell" - it doesn't hurt at all, I will say* a dermaroller is a bit cheaper, I think a bit more effective, too, for the micro-injuries are a bit larger in size, which permits more penetration for the topicals; DRAW the roller, instead of going "back and forth" so you don't "cut" neither tangle your hairs; not a native english speaker so forgive me if there were any mistakes. ciao !
@@matalinaw8334 great, as always; I'm just back from a 3 day vacation. I forgot my Minox and dermaroller at home for the very first time.. I thought I'd take the risk and didn't buy any minox in my vacation's location; let's see in one month if this has done anything to my hair. I hope not ! 😀
Great job. Never heard of the gel finasteride - will get. One minor thing: since it became popular it’s been stated that minoxidil only works on the top so you’re probably wasting the amt you’re rubbing on the temples.
Nice videos and vibes . Really inspired by the results you get. I have some questions if you do not mind , I have been using fnst and minox for 7 months and unfortunately in vain and my hair is quite thinner than before , fall out from the roots… I visited my doctor and I did the blood test … everything is well
If 1.5mm stainless steel derma rolling and minoxidil don't work for me, I'm embracing the thinning! No finasteride for me. I'm giving it a year. Minoxidil only needs a to be applied once a day since it stays in your system for 21 hours. You don't get better results applying it twice a day, just wastes it more
I think you would benefit massively from a transplant. Not bringing your hairline forward but just 1500-2000 graft to the top to make it thicker. Stick won’t he routine after and I think you would be shocked
@@danieltatum4262 when u bring the hair line too forward, you risk having a thin hairline at the front, creating an artificial hairline is a massive risk but something you have to consider. I would personally prefer a thick head of hair and an M line than a thin straight line
Congrats on your success. You are using a subset of my routine, I also regrew my hair and kept it for >30 years, but I had way less hair. My routine only lasts 3 months, then I don't need to use any products for ~2 years. I researched how to do this for more than 20 years but now have it nailed. One comment on Minoxidil for your viewers. Minoxidil doesn't work for everyone as they lack the required amount of SULT1A1 in the hair follicle to transition Minoxidil to Minoxidil Sulphate; the active metabolite. Micro-needling actually upregulates this chemical reaction to will make Minoxidil work for many more people. Also, Minoxidil action has multiple mechanisms, I don't think vasodilation is the important one. I have 3 videos just on Minoxidil and plan one more.
I've studied the relationship between head shape and hairloss for quite some time, and it appears to be a 1 to 1 ratio, to the point where, if you're a guy who has a curvy head, especially a round forehead instead of a broad square vertical one i would start taking action even if you're not having noticeable hairloss because you're destined to down the line, just look at any ethnic group who commonly have vertical broad but somewhat boxy foreheads have strong and good hairlines where as Caucasians have bigger and more round head shapes with big foreheads with curvatures for the most part, but those who don't keep their hair, this is also true for all men in my family, us who have square foreheads with a more boxy head shape keep all our hair even into old age where as those with round heads lose their hair. This is the main cause of MPB
and hats do cause hairloss as far as i know considering they clamp up your already sensitive hair causes it to heat up and considering if you use minox in the morning your scalp is going to become more sensitive which is even worse if you’re under the sun, gonna heat up even more
@@NineDeadlyVenoms what makes u think sikh people don't have hairloss, they have significant hairloss, half the sikh men i know are on some hairloss therapy or something or the other so lets not get in that conversation
Quite often thinning hair can be a result of insufficient (quality) protein intake, 0.8-1g protein per kg of body weight is the minimum, just something to consider and take care of as well as all other tricks. The gross weight of a piece of meat does not equal its protein content, for example 100g of 80/20 ground beef contains 26 grams of protein, the rest is fat and water.
Thanks alot man!! I was so worried what to do. I've got my hair fall increasing quite recently. I want to ask "Do you use any supplements like Biotin or multivitamins regularly?"
Hi Zeph, do you think it would be possible to get your results using 10 drops of rosemary oil and teaspoon of castor oil daily into the scalp for 6 months? That's what I am doing.
Hello, I'm glad you got your hair back, but I have a question for you. Where can I buy topical finasteride, in my country I can't find it, could you recommend where to buy it please?
I know this has nothing to do with this video but you seem to be the best one to answer a question that i have. I have recently been diagnosed with androgenic alopecia. I am an avid gym goer and fitness enthusiast. I dont use supplements. I would never consider touching any sort of steroid or even creatine. However, i do a lot of weight training and hiit cardio which both raise testosterone levels, which i know can be converted to dht and promote hair loss. If im taking finasteride, do you think id be safe to continue lifting weights and doing hiit cardio and consequently raising my levels of testosterone without losing more hair because of suppression of 5AR due to my finasteride use?
Hello, You should use finasteride combined with Minoxidil (topical or oral), better dutasteride with minoxidil because it inhibits alpha reductase 1 and 2, it is not supposed to have an influence because you would be inhibiting dht, consult with a trichologist dermatologist to clear your doubts. According to what I have been told, there is not much that would raise dht, but I do not recommend taking creatine because if you are sensitive to alopecia it could accelerate it. As I say, consult a doctor and clear your doubts.
Hi friend. Thank you for sharing your experience. you will definitely help many people around the world. A Brazilian hug for you. (Sorry for my english)😅
I find because i use consealer what is the best protocal to be able to use the oild. i am thinking you have to wash and dry the hair apply the oil then wash it out in the morning perhaps do this 1-2 times a week
This is very cool and it will be exciting to see advancements in medicine to help men and women grow their hair back. This routine is a bit much for me. Id be willing to microneedle though. Might try that as ive been getting very tired of shaving my head
I really want to try the topical finasteride. I tried the tabletts and i think i had some side effects, didnt feel like myself really. But honestly i wasnt in the best place mentally either so its hard to tell which is which. But the topical variant i guess wouldnt ”feel” as serious to use as the tabletts and might calm my mind a bit. Shame it isnt available in my country.
Try MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) and vitamin c (ascorbic acid) supplimentation, i have used msm and moringa powder as a sub for vit c, along with rosemary oil for almost 3 months...my hair feels thicker and less hair fall.
Im a cancer surviver and i've been bold ever since (4 years) Im now 24. I just accepted that my fate and didnt consider been bold to much of a price for my life. But I came across your channel and im going to try to grow it back. Hope it works.
Edit: Its kind of working, I didnt start inmediatly after this comment. I'm 4 moths in.
Good luck dude , but don’t obsess it
Hope it works for you❤
im happy you survived man. We are masters of our own destiny go out and get yours.
Yep good luck man
pray for you!
The advise you provided are truly helpful. I was dealing with hair fall, but then I started using the reeactivate serum along with coocoonion shampoo together. In just two months, I am noticing a positive difference in the density of my hair. I can tell it's effective!
Same here! reacvtivate hair growth serum and coocooonion shampoo increased my hair growth as well.
Finally, a video worth of its every duration whereas the other tend to prolong them. This one is very detailed and thorough, we owe you one!
A very important disclosure when using Minoxidil on any %, first you might experience the side effects such as more hair falling out, but after using it a few months (up to 6) you will see results. It's very important to be consistent and not give up if you see more hair falling out
Good to know, thank you. So the hair loss caused by minoxidil might get fixed after months?
It's not hair loss, but it is pushing hairs into the growing phase. Hair has to fall out for new to grow, so when using minoxidil it will push out a lot of hair before they all start growing back@@xdxangeloxbx
It's a lie he is from minoxidil marketing team
Once hair falls out see tge cuticle bulb if yes hair gone
@@rajendramodusu5980 bruh youre capping af lol it is totally normal for hair to fall with bulbs it means it is at the end of its phase.
What happens when you stop using minoxidil?
My hair fall has reduced and I'm seeing new baby hairs growing because of these steps:
1. oil once or twice a week and leave it on for at least 1 hour.
2. Shampoo your hair twice/once a week and condition accordingly.
3. Apply Reactivate hair serum serum by littlelextraa daily.
4. Regularly trim your hair at a specific time, e.g., once a month or twice.
5. Don't checking at your hair for weeks and so.
6. Avoid taking any stress.
I’m applying reacvtivate hair serum and cocoonion hair oil. I apply the oil twice a week and the serum daily. I’m experiencing positive hair growth results.
How much do they pay to you brooo, worst way of promotion this is... Don't think people will keep believing you and use those product blindly.
@@kwondo_22_mars It´s really annoying, people always lying.
my hair is growing very fast now. i spray the reeactivate hair growth serum daily. i occasionally make homemade hair masks with bananas and honey. after leaving it on for about 30 minutes, i wash it off with the coconiioon shampoo from littleexttra. this has reduced my hair fall, and within 2 months, i started to see baby hairs growing.
@@kwondo_22_mars yeah man. It's always that goddamn Littleextra ad. I'm sick of it in hair growth videos.
For me minoxidil 5% didn't show visible hair growth, except that it helped not to fall off. BUT rosemary oil seems to actually work! After over 1 week of using rosemary oil before sleep as a spray, i can see new small hairs where i did not have any.
diluted? (as it's an essential concentrate oil)
@@NaturaBreeze i bought rosemary oil from aromatica, it's a brand from south Korea, it has more ingredients, but results are visible for me after 1 month of use and it's a spray...
@@NaturaBreeze it says on the bottle, "root enhancer"
Pls reply ,its diluted?
@@sathyansaravanan1710 i don't know if its a concentrated oil or not or if its dilluted or not, but you can try for a week any kind i guess and see what happens? i saw some results after aprox. 1 week of applying it before sleep
Zeph, I have been following you for nearly 2 years. Your journey has inspired me to try all of your suggestions. I got a FUE in February of 2015, but I want fuller hair without another procedure. I added topical min/fin from Happy Head last July. After about 3 months I started seeing results. The progress has continued. My hair has definitely thickened overall. Supposedly, I must wait about two years to see full effect of the topical min/fin. I am 58, so I am trying to not be unrealistic. Since I use hair root/shadow I feel so much better about my hair. I had been wearing hats way too much and always unsatisfied with pics of me.
My boyfriend is bald and I am continuing to look for products and processes that he might be open to to regain some hair. Like you described, he wears a hat almost 24/7. I like the ball caps....but the touques in the winter...sheesh...never takes them off even indoors or at Christmas dinner! He won't say, but it must be hard on the esteem. Alas, he doesn't really have a great head shape for baldness, though if he could be confident, that would make a difference. I can see he is uncomfortable being bald. I applaud you on your commitment to keeping your hair. Looks great. I am not sure he would be willing to do all of that....I would need to just pick one or two things that he would be willing to try and see if that helps. He reported his hair loss after a very stressing period in his life...I didn't know him at that time...and he said it doesn't run in his family. It just never came back. The stress also resulted in some lost teeth. He is a mess really. lol. No self care happening I am afraid.
You are a real human being and a real hero.
Why are you so invested in his hair lol it’s his hair not yours.
@@wille6788 Lol. No. It doesn't bother me at all. It bothers HIM. He is hiding all the time because he feels bad about it.

I’m female and trying daily scalp massage, weekly rosemary oil mix and I’ve switched to a silk pillowcase.

I plan to add rosemary water as a rinse and will reevaluate my diet and supplements. Hope I can see great progress like you.

Thank you for your advice, you are a real case of success and I followed you long ago on instagram, good that you opened TH-cam where everything is clearer.
I appreciate that!
Channels that tell the truth, with a hair transplant will always be more appropriated.
Black seed oil, is also a DHT blocker and Anti inflation oil.
I've mixed Rosemary oil with E-cava.
Your hair looks great 👍
The hair on my head started thinning significantly following an extremely stressful period I went through. Consequently, I researched the internet & decided to try a hair oil called litttleextra coocoonion and a comb made of neem wood. It really definitely worked. At present, I have lengthy, dense, black hair which has grown down to my waist and cut off on three occasions after I started. Simple and good. Additionally, just as effective can be rubbing your scalp - it stimulates hair growth. You only must do this once a week. Pretty soon, you'll see new hair growing in.
Sure you did
I see this comment in every channel about hairloss
Bought this Cocooonion hair shampoo for dealing with hair thinning and dandruff problems. My scalp become irritated and flaky. I felt frustrated with the flaky scalp. After much research, I finally decided to give this shampoo a go. After initial use, I observed my hair was soft and my scalp felt less itchy. I generally use shampoo two times a week and within 2 days, dandruff used to come back. However after using this shampoo, that was not the case. I chose to keep using this shampoo to track the outcomes. It's been close to seven months since I started and my dandruff problem is no longer an issue. Virtually no hair fall has been observed. I'm glad that I made this step and followed the routine. In summary, an amazing product.
Thank You for Your videos! I feel that I am not alone and it is really useful to hear other people’s experience what products is more effective!
Minoxidil 5% 2 times a day everyday
Oil twice a week 4-8 hrs rosemary + pumpkin or castor
Dermastamp 1.5mm once a week 2
-3 times, don't apply anything for 6 hrs
Thank u man for existing ❤
Do you know that minoxidil does not need to be applied twice a day? Once a day is enough as long as the product lasts between 18 to 21 hours. The twice a day prospect indication is because they still apply the original 1984 study. Another important thing with minoxidil for it to work is being able to transform the compound into sulfotransferase (a few either men or women scalps are not able to do so).
If you feel light headed when you apply it its working.
Thanks to tell us your journey =) Here in UK, there are brands who use oils with minoxidil to have an alcohol-free solution. It works best for me having very long hair because I noticed that after a few months the alcohol solution was making my hair much drier and the feeling wasn't great!
With Finesteride, I only applied topically mixed with minoxidil but I experienced very strong heart palpitations after a couple of months, so I had to stop that (I even have very low blood pressure!) :(
I had no courage to do the microneedling even if I bought a pen ages ago..never heard about the stamp which can be useful in the back area where I guess it's more difficult to do it with a pen! Thanks again!!!! Well done for your results!
you are paranoac
Do you mind linking those
you do realise minoxidil is literally a blood pressure medication used to lower blood pressure(albeit with side effects of hair growth), so one can assume it is the minoxidil causing both the heart palpitations and low blood pressure not finasteride.
@@connorshanks9931 Hey Connor, I do know that. I used Minoxidil alone before without any side effects, hence I was quite sure it was finasteride. I'm back on usign topical minoxidil+finasteride together and it seems ok so far! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
@@notag_channel best of luck friend
Banger vid, new subscriber. Have not heard of that topical fin yet and ive been in the hair regrowth process for bout a year. Will def look into it
Thanks for the sub! 🙏
I did scalp massage for a year before discovering I was a minoxdil hyperresponder and reversing my hair loss in 3 months, I don't think that it does anything and I was fairly consistant at an average of 30minutes a day, the commitment was real
I still think that massage holds some benefit, but not the mainstream technique
Feel the bone that runs from your cheekbones to the front of your ears on each side of the face, above it you will feel a tense muscle
massage it by pressing it with your fingers until it's perfectly relaxed, then massage your tamples. You might also feel a tense muscle there
You should then notice that your whole frontal scalp is less tense, which if the scalp tension hypothesis is true would be beneficial for preventing hair loss/promoting regrowth
Appart from that massage technique that basically tries to relax your scalp perimeter muscles I don't think that playing with the skin for 42 minutes a day does anything. Also my technique takes 1 minute and you can just do it whenever you feel that the muscles are tensing up
Man I'm jealous. I used minoxidil religiously for two years but it only kept getting worse and worse
I think that there is another compound that you can take with minoxidil that turns non responders into responders, Heard it from MorePlatesMoreDates, microneedling can do that as well
And you can also chose to be bald it's fine@@g.3521
I found u in my recommendations.
No chemicals ! Try this:
1. Wash your hair, dry them. Hair should be damp.
2. Apply castor oil to damp hair (especially on areas of the scalp with less hair).
3. Put a transparent bag or shower cap on your head.
4. Do not remove from your head for 2 hours! The head should be warm (you can also put a regular winter hat on your head).
5. After 2 hours, wash off the castor oil with warm water. The main thing is to use a minimum of shampoo. Do not use a hair dryer! The hair should dry on its own.
6. Repeat the procedure every time you wash your hair.
The effect will be noticeable after 2 weeks.
Important ! Small and short hair will begin to grow first. When there is a lot of hair on your head, you can cut your hair bald and repeat the procedure again.
New hair will already grow constantly.
just saying Rosemary oil has done a better job for me than minoxidil, there was a couple of studies that shows that its as equivalent to it too.
also i dont mix the oil with any carrier
so ketoconazole shampoo and then followed by rosemary oil, and I don't wash the oil out, it does burn but not bad, I noticed that my hair stoped falling because of that, and the thickness increased a bit, the speed of hair growing stayed the same.
Does the shampoo affect the regrowth in any way?
@@lagavulin7194 there are some studies that say it helps with growth, but its a small study and the results were insignificant, I still use it because it stops dandruff

I'm a woman who suffers from androgenetic alopecia and this is actually very helpful to me! Thanks. (It is to be noted though for other women reading this that finasteride has not been approved for use by women).
I am having hair loss problem and I almost got tired of it and was contemplating a transplant in the near future when my brother gave me another bottle of minoxidil and I thought well start again. This is like a year or two after I completely stopped trying. So I shaved my head and I started applying. And yesterday I suddenly came across your shorts video and it hugely inspired me. I feel I can do it too. Thank you brother. I just have a question. As you're using a minoxidil 5% solution and a finasteride shampoo, I use minoxidil 10% in combination with finasteride. And occasionally use ketoconazole shampoo as I have dandruff issue too. Would you suggest I carry on with this or would you recommend some changes? Hoping to get a reply brother. And thanks once more. 💟
Just a heads up. Ive had dandruff issues myself big time. This may be hard to do for all people but after 30 years of trying everything I finally fixed it. I eliminated preservatives from my diet. My skin is no longer dry n flakey. If I eat at a restaurant or drink booze, it comes back with out debate. I don’t know if this might help but I hope it does. I wish someone would have taught me this decades ago.
@@chiefawilkerson that's very helpful. Thank you
Like Chief said diet has a lot to do with dandruf. My case was very bad, had to fix my gut bacteria, many things we eat are too agressive. Stop any sodas and milk, gluten, alcohol seed oils helped very much
I did PRP injections on vacation in Colombia. I highly recommend it
@@Rob-z7k Thanks for the suggestion.
I hear you completely, I've started out with a full head of hair but my hairline was high. Then it transitioned to a non-balding maturing hairline which was straight but wasnt balding, at this point I still couldnt do much because I didnt have a small forehead. Now? I regret not appreciating what I have, from 16 I had an amazing full head of hair, by 19 I was Norwood 1 and it just progressively got worse and worse. I'm at a point now where I have a V hairline I have baby hairs on my temple making it extremely difficult to hide it through a long haired combover. I'm now 27, I've been wearing hats throughout my entire 20s and I've had enough. Enough is enough, Ive been in denial for treatment, been denial for a hair transplant. I'm going to start committing to some real treatment because I'm tired of not liking what used to be my best feature in High School (my hair).
Start treatment if you it stabilizes your hairloss get a transplant. You only live once.
Wearing hats makes it worse

@@SanjeevKumarSoniPRP and all the clinics treatments are scam.

I was wondering have you thought about adding Collagen Peptides and/or Nutrafol to help work from the inside out. Peptides have helped a little bit with me (also with my skin, nails, and joints (from squats and such), without having started a routine like yours, which thank you for uploading. Maybe with the addition to those aspects it would help even more.
Has nutrafol worked for you?
Collagen oral consumption is a scam
Gratitudes! Many blessings to you man!
I'm trying your suggestion of mixing rosemary oil (30 drops) with castor oil (1 tbsp) and this is a lot isn't it? my hair is super greasy and the oil is oozing down my scalp into my forehead. Is that normal? lol
that's too much 😂
just apply with finger tips and don't bath with it
20 drops of carrier oil and 5 drops of rosemary oil
Sir I don't think that's for one session 😅😅
thank you for detailed instructions and all the research. literally, that is everything that could be done to regrow the hair. My frontline is thinning a bit at 18 y.o. that's why i am starting early. i hope i will get great results as you did :)
can i use essential oils overnight for hair growth on a daily without building up tolerance?
I heard it can attract dirt and block hair follicle using it overnight..
Great result keep it up but problably finastride not working with all I had such experience from finastride i got tenderness and chest pain and stopped it for almost a month then returned to topical finastride and got same side effects after few days of using it

Looks so good!! All the men in my family lose hair like crazy as they near their twenties. Most shave the rest by the time they’re 25-30. Meanwhile, all the women in my family have a LOT of hair. Pregnancy hormones seemed to double thickness and length of my hair during those years. Not kidding. The pictures surprise even me, now that I’m past those years. Now, I’m putting minoxidil on and microneedling my 17 yo son because he’s thinning above the temples.
So unfair for the men! We love you both ways, but understand the desire to keep your hair.
Love the channel (and progress) dude!
At what month did you start feeling the oral finasteride side effects? I ve been taking it for 3 months now and feel zero difference! My doctor said that 1mg will never cause any side effects, and if it does it is probably more of psychosomatic response. 5mg though, that people with prostate issues take, will generate side effects. Just curious to know. Thanks in advance.
Most people don’t get side effects. He is sponsored by Zyon health, which sells for $100/mo
You usually get the side effects straight away so if your 3 months in you should be okay
Hi Zeph. Been following your videos religiously since I stumbled across them. Can u do a small routine of stamping or dermal rolling? Beginning with sanitising them and storage. Would really appreciate that. Thanks
I started my reversing hair loss routine after seeing your videos and have some doubts regarding applying these products. I use minoxidil twice a day, when should I use the rosemary oil with that and how long should I wait to use multiple products in between ?? and how many times I should use these oils?? when should I shampoo my hair, also have to use conditioner too, after the use of that is it okay to use minoxidil right away? It's quite many questions😊😊 and I couldn't get proper answers for these questions. Hope you could help me. Thank you. 😇

Hey, I'm curious about your take on whey protein. I work out regularly and am a bit unsure about whether I should include whey in my routine. If you do use it, do you prefer concentrated or isolate? Thanks!
Don't use it. Get organic alfalfa powder instead. Tastes like shit but it's packed with amino acids and minerals. They feed it to horses to build muscle. Mix it with fruit juice it tastes a bit better
I started balding when I was 16! The amount of bullying I received because of it caused me to have some serious depression, anxiety and trauma. Now I wear a hat every single day and have a mental breakdown if someone takes it off. I’m 30 now and im not completely bald, I’ve been able to manage it but i am still very much balding. Im going to try this method and hope for the best. I miss feeling free
All the best ❤
I tried topical minoxidil/fin vcombo but it made my eyes puffy and my face too. I’m a bad responder, so I had to quit. I really looked bad and look so much better now. Wish I coulda kept using but that’s life. I’m getting a transplant
What is your transplant gonna cost?
Actually, Rosemary oil in its own is at least (!) as effective in treatment of the AGA, as Minoxidil (2%), applied topically. And it doesn't (under normal conditions) cause telogen effluvium once discontinued. Nettle is a far more potent agent of capillary perfusion than the Minoxidil, and it also have some phytosterols that competitively inhibit the binding of the DHT to the androgen receptors at the hair follicle.
So in a nutshell, many bioactive molecules isolated from the plants are just as effective, if not more, than Minoxidil, if possibly not as effective in the general population as finasteride. So yes, you could have used Rosemary oils instead of the Minoxidil, especially if dissolved in the pumpkin or castor oil.
Thank you for the great information! didn't know that rosemary oil helps!! Appreciate the great information
You got it right dude, and you look great, congrats!
Bro your hair is looking awesome
My own hair growth success story, I did the following, and it worked on my brother too:
1. Scalp Massage for 30 minutes a day everyday - this is VITAL. Make sure whole scalp moves. Intend to make blood move when you do it.
2. Taoist Soap for hair Growth 2x a day: works on inflammation side, as well as stimulates hair growth by herbs.
3. Nettle leaf tea everyday to detox liver from hormone residue (vital to at least start balancing hormones as they are almost always involved).
4. Vinegar rinse after shower (just dilute any fruit based vinegar in a water bottle, and pour over head after shower, leave in, patt dry with towel).
5. Collagen 2x a day everyday to provide all nutrition needed for hair growth in the right away, not silly biotin or b12 on its own.
It does work, and its the only natural way.

Amazing! I am female with andgenic alopecia ....argh, it's soo hard living with it!
It's still managable. It takes about 40 minutes oer day.
you shouldn’t use rosemary and minoxidil together, also you should use rosemary oil with jojoba oil, once or twice a week, lastly you can use minoxidil without the alcohol version which tbh you should buy rn, its called the solution base which is just pure minox, works much better and would solve your drying scalp/dandruff problem, in india here we use that only
Lol no alcohol free minox isnt as effective as alcohol one you can use the foam version though
@@PradipNunzen-cy6vi nope, i used both so from experience i say its better
How do you wash your hair twice a week when you use minoxidil twice a day when i use minoxidil twice I feel like i have to wash my hair everyday

I am taking castor oil and rosemary oil.. but damn its gooey
I thanks for info
Great video! Do you think leaving out the minoxidil but keeping everything else in the routine would yield good results? I've used minoxidil before and I'm not the biggest fan, but im happy its worked well for you! I've heard good things about finasteride as an alternative and have been wanting to try it out. Would i just substitute the 2x a day minoxidil w the finasteride or stick to 1x a day?
finasteride is not a substitute for minoxidil. Finasteride bloks some DHT production in the body, while minoxidil stimulates blood flow in the folicles. If DHT continues to build up in those folicles, hair will continue to fall off.
Try both. One is not a substite for the other.
For maximum efficiency you need all treatments: Finasteride, minoxidil and microneedling in deep length.
If possible Tretinoin is also a magical with minoxidil combo.
@@maorizio1Is the deep length really necessary? I read somewhere that 0.6mm is actually the ideal
@@g.3521 0.3 to 0.6 is enough only for topical absorption, you simply penetrate the epidermis which is enough for absorption of topicals.
But for all the benefits like inducing growth factors, collagen production and follicle proliferation you need to reach the dermis which for most of us is 1mm-1.5mm deep.
Going deep isn’t dangerous but it’s little more painful with some pinpoint blood.
I would appreciate if you answer this. I’ve been using topical minoxidil for the last 2 years and I’ll start now to use topical finasteride. How should I apply both of them at night? Should I apply minoxidil first and then wait some minutes to let it dry and then apply finasteride? I don’t know exactly how should I do this combination
Hye really inspiring that you actually made it...
Where does rosemerry water rinse fit in this schedule..?
When to apply rosemerry water with minoxidil

Hey zeph what is the dosage of your finastrade? And also why don’t you take it combined with minoxidil and finastrade topically rather than taking individual, we can get it from like keeps and hims maybe compund phyarmasy please let me know what’s your thoughts on it thanks my friend.
i started losing my hair since last year its not that bad but still my front head is little visible and its very dificult since i am student and can't buy product because of money issue still i am trying little things like massaging my head drinking good amount of water and proper diet i hope it works
Can you go into greater detail about the shock lost your experience from the minoxidil? Is the reason why I don't want to use it because I used it before my shock lost lasted about 3 to 4 months. I just recently got a hair transplant and I'm already going through shock loss now in my 3.5 months of recovery and so I don't want to use minoxidil and prolong that shock loss any longer.
If minoxidil makes your scalp too itchy, you can supplement it with nanoxidil. I switched over and I see a bigger difference as well.
I apreaciate your help! Thank you! Many blessings to you!
Minoxidil concerns me to be taken by someone who does not need heart medication.
I have thinning at the back of the head above the part, a bit at the front and a decent amount at my temples. I was hoping to find something to reverse it, but would like to avoid heart medication.
I took oral fin + min 5% foam and had side effects that took almost a year to get over. I'm still getting palpitations but the panic attacks have subsided once I started keto 10 months later.
In the first few months it was crippling, I had panic attacks several times a day every day.
Now I have a genuine fear of putting those medicines back in my body.
lots of good suggestions. However, I don't agree on being so particularly careful with microneedling and topical minoxidil "together". My last 5 years's experince with that is: I went from
A- minoxidil (5%) 2 X day + microneedling 1 X week - not applying minox that day of the week, to
B- minox (5%) 2 X day and microneedling 2-3 X Week also with minoxidil on the he same days as microneedling, to
C- minox (5%) 2 X day and *right before it dries, dermarolling it every time down the scalp while still wet* it only takes 3 minutes per "application"; I'd say: very effective time usage !
*C* is when I saw the best results (say, 3 to 4 months later, to be precise) no side effects whatsoever.
every - on average - 3 days I'll skip one application (I forget about it, I am somewhere else and can't, or I simply don't feel like it because I'm already under the blanket when it hits me 🤣) and this does nothing to the acquired results.
My hair "coverage" went from:
- Norwood maybe 4-5 a Norwood 3-4 with (A), then
- Norwood 3-4 to solid Norwood 3 with (B), then
- up to where I am now, brink of Norwood 2, doing (C).
BTW: I am 57 YO, so I should have noticed a further DECREASE - if I had done nothing - in the last 5 years (maybe Norwood 6.7 by now?) so it's even more impressive, I think?
DO NOT WORRY ABOUT MINOX *going "systemic"* it does not (or, it does, but with no consequences) with needles' length up to 1,5 mm (maybe 1 mm when really BALD) and *it definitely does NOT "hurt as hell" - it doesn't hurt at all, I will say*
a dermaroller is a bit cheaper, I think a bit more effective, too, for the micro-injuries are a bit larger in size, which permits more penetration for the topicals;
DRAW the roller, instead of going "back and forth" so you don't "cut" neither tangle your hairs;
not a native english speaker so forgive me if there were any mistakes. ciao !
How is your hair progress now?
@@matalinaw8334 great, as always; I'm just back from a 3 day vacation. I forgot my Minox and dermaroller at home for the very first time.. I thought I'd take the risk and didn't buy any minox in my vacation's location; let's see in one month if this has done anything to my hair. I hope not ! 😀
Great job. Never heard of the gel finasteride - will get. One minor thing: since it became popular it’s been stated that minoxidil only works on the top so you’re probably wasting the amt you’re rubbing on the temples.
Nice videos and vibes . Really inspired by the results you get. I have some questions if you do not mind , I have been using fnst and minox for 7 months and unfortunately in vain and my hair is quite thinner than before , fall out from the roots… I visited my doctor and I did the blood test … everything is well
Add peptides from face serums to your scalp :) make sure to eat enough protein
If 1.5mm stainless steel derma rolling and minoxidil don't work for me, I'm embracing the thinning! No finasteride for me. I'm giving it a year. Minoxidil only needs a to be applied once a day since it stays in your system for 21 hours. You don't get better results applying it twice a day, just wastes it more
I would like to know, where you got your topical finasteride gel. I tried oral finasteride, but with no success so, I need another alternative.
What do you mean with no success? If oral didn't work for you topical definitely won't.
If you think Oral Fin didn't work then Topical ain't gonna do jack. Did you give >8 to 12 months on oral fin?
Great 👍 video
Where can I purchase rosemary water If I don't want to make it? Thanks
I think you would benefit massively from a transplant. Not bringing your hairline forward but just 1500-2000 graft to the top to make it thicker. Stick won’t he routine after and I think you would be shocked
If he was to get a transplant then why not bring the hairline forward
@@danieltatum4262 when u bring the hair line too forward, you risk having a thin hairline at the front, creating an artificial hairline is a massive risk but something you have to consider. I would personally prefer a thick head of hair and an M line than a thin straight line
When do you apply Minxodil after stamping, right after or how long do you wait? I see so many varying opinions
he said that the normal time recommending online to wait is 24 hours after stamping. but he waits about 5-6 hours
24hrs
Thank you for sharing. This is so helpful & detailed 🙏🏽🤍
Congrats on your success. You are using a subset of my routine, I also regrew my hair and kept it for >30 years, but I had way less hair. My routine only lasts 3 months, then I don't need to use any products for ~2 years. I researched how to do this for more than 20 years but now have it nailed. One comment on Minoxidil for your viewers. Minoxidil doesn't work for everyone as they lack the required amount of SULT1A1 in the hair follicle to transition Minoxidil to Minoxidil Sulphate; the active metabolite. Micro-needling actually upregulates this chemical reaction to will make Minoxidil work for many more people. Also, Minoxidil action has multiple mechanisms, I don't think vasodilation is the important one. I have 3 videos just on Minoxidil and plan one more.
whats your 3 month routine?
Routine?
Can dermastamp be used once a week right before apply minoxidil and finasteride? Even at 1.5 mm?
I've studied the relationship between head shape and hairloss for quite some time, and it appears to be a 1 to 1 ratio, to the point where, if you're a guy who has a curvy head, especially a round forehead instead of a broad square vertical one i would start taking action even if you're not having noticeable hairloss because you're destined to down the line, just look at any ethnic group who commonly have vertical broad but somewhat boxy foreheads have strong and good hairlines where as Caucasians have bigger and more round head shapes with big foreheads with curvatures for the most part, but those who don't keep their hair, this is also true for all men in my family, us who have square foreheads with a more boxy head shape keep all our hair even into old age where as those with round heads lose their hair. This is the main cause of MPB
and hats do cause hairloss as far as i know considering they clamp up your already sensitive hair causes it to heat up and considering if you use minox in the morning your scalp is going to become more sensitive which is even worse if you’re under the sun, gonna heat up even more
That's nonsense. Hair loss is a natural thing you will either get or don't get. Otherwise every Sikh man in the world would be bald.
@@NineDeadlyVenoms what makes u think sikh people don't have hairloss, they have significant hairloss, half the sikh men i know are on some hairloss therapy or something or the other so lets not get in that conversation
Quite often thinning hair can be a result of insufficient (quality) protein intake, 0.8-1g protein per kg of body weight is the minimum, just something to consider and take care of as well as all other tricks. The gross weight of a piece of meat does not equal its protein content, for example 100g of 80/20 ground beef contains 26 grams of protein, the rest is fat and water.
Thanks alot man!! I was so worried what to do. I've got my hair fall increasing quite recently. I want to ask "Do you use any supplements like Biotin or multivitamins regularly?"
Hi Zeph, do you think it would be possible to get your results using 10 drops of rosemary oil and teaspoon of castor oil daily into the scalp for 6 months? That's what I am doing.
Hello, I'm glad you got your hair back, but I have a question for you. Where can I buy topical finasteride, in my country I can't find it, could you recommend where to buy it please?
I know this has nothing to do with this video but you seem to be the best one to answer a question that i have. I have recently been diagnosed with androgenic alopecia. I am an avid gym goer and fitness enthusiast. I dont use supplements. I would never consider touching any sort of steroid or even creatine. However, i do a lot of weight training and hiit cardio which both raise testosterone levels, which i know can be converted to dht and promote hair loss. If im taking finasteride, do you think id be safe to continue lifting weights and doing hiit cardio and consequently raising my levels of testosterone without losing more hair because of suppression of 5AR due to my finasteride use?
Hello, You should use finasteride combined with Minoxidil (topical or oral), better dutasteride with minoxidil because it inhibits alpha reductase 1 and 2, it is not supposed to have an influence because you would be inhibiting dht, consult with a trichologist dermatologist to clear your doubts. According to what I have been told, there is not much that would raise dht, but I do not recommend taking creatine because if you are sensitive to alopecia it could accelerate it. As I say, consult a doctor and clear your doubts.
Hi friend. Thank you for sharing your experience. you will definitely help many people around the world. A Brazilian hug for you. (Sorry for my english)😅
I've been following your routine for 2 weeks (except for the finasteride). I get some blue spot on my scalp that I can not wash out? Any thought?
you're probably overdoing dermaroll
do it once a week and if you heal fast then maybe twice
@@pranomadityagogoi1145 how to know whether you heal fast or slowly?
I find because i use consealer what is the best protocal to be able to use the oild. i am thinking you have to wash and dry the hair apply the oil then wash it out in the morning perhaps do this 1-2 times a week
I want to see the final results so badly😢
If we use rosemary oil after darma roller is it help to hair regrowth ❓❓ please reply 🙏
Kinda weird there are no intermediate photos of low density between having deep widows peak and a stock straight hairline with uniform density 🤔
Yeah the after photos he's still bald
This is very cool and it will be exciting to see advancements in medicine to help men and women grow their hair back. This routine is a bit much for me. Id be willing to microneedle though. Might try that as ive been getting very tired of shaving my head
I really want to try the topical finasteride. I tried the tabletts and i think i had some side effects, didnt feel like myself really. But honestly i wasnt in the best place mentally either so its hard to tell which is which. But the topical variant i guess wouldnt ”feel” as serious to use as the tabletts and might calm my mind a bit. Shame it isnt available in my country.
Try MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) and vitamin c (ascorbic acid) supplimentation, i have used msm and moringa powder as a sub for vit c, along with rosemary oil for almost 3 months...my hair feels thicker and less hair fall.
