    I lost my hair years ago with cancer treatment medication (taxotare). It came back but very sparse and thin. It's almost like a reverse mohawk. I wore wigs for years and spent so much on shampoos and supplements. I would try anything but have gotten so disheartened lately. I am happy to be cancer free for the last 16 years and i try to keep that in mind when I feel ugly and self conscious about my hair.❤

    When you do these steps, it can help reduce hair fall, similar to it helped me. Keep your scalp clean by cleansing it often. Use a mild shampoo. Make sure to get adequate sleep every night. Wash your hair 2-3 times each week with liitlexteral cocooonion shampoo. Apply some oil to your hair 2-3 times a week. After washing your hair, lightly pat it dry with an soft towel.

    An Indian female who faced an accident 10years back, faced noticeable shedding of brow hair and scalp hair which grew back. But, I lost 40% of my frontal hair after I got dengue in the subsequent year. I was in my teens which subjected me to a lot of bullying from my classmates. It was a very painful period for me since, I lost all the confidence in me. Year 2018 severely bothered by my hair growth, I consulted a dermat who recommended me 2% minoxidil. Rectified my diet, ensured that I am getting enough proteins (As North Indians are mostly vegetarians).
    2023 - I exercise regularly now and I follow an absolutely no sugar, very low salt and seasoning diet along with protein intake supplemented with multivitamins, rosemary oil and minoxidil. I can see a gradual improvement in my hair quality.

      Fwiw, I felt that using the Weleda rosemary tonic has helped with hair loss, as well as taking Vitamin D. Not sure if Weleda is available outside of Germany but on youtube you'll also find lots of videos of people praising rosemary oil/tonics. It's obviously no miracle medicine but seems to bring a degree of relief to some while being affordable enough to just give it a go and see if it works for you as well.

      If you are for sure done having kids, and your hair loss is androgenic alopecia, 5AR inhibitors (finasteride and dutasteride) are effective for women. The reason they aren't given to women is because they can mess up a male fetus (at least this is my understanding on why women don't get them prescribed. There are studies showing these drugs are effective for women with androgenic alopecia. If you're not done having kids, wait on this though.
      Minoxdil also works. I am a guy, but I've had decent results with oral minoxidil. My beard has gotten thicker, so that may not be a good side effect for you (I think of it as a great bonus for me).

    I had a massive hair loss early this year due to telogen effluvium related to stress which accelerated my androgenetic alopecia. Instead of relaxing, I was stressed even more and it became a very nasty cycle. I could literally touch my hair and it would just falloff in large amounts. Long story short, I started oral and topical minoxidil and I’m almost my third month and my hair has started growing again and is coming in in load. Hair loss may not seem like the end of the world for some people but to us experiencing hair loss is very traumatic.

      @veilmontTV sorry, I wasn't saying you necessarily had an autoimmune illness. Stress can cause hair loss on its own, but that's separate from androgenetic hair loss. It can join forces with androgentic hair loss though and make it all worse.
      Androgenetic hair loss is specifically the type of hairloss caused by androgens, it's not caused by stress. You can look it up. Hairloss due to stress is telogen effluvium.

    This video should be compulsory for all pcps and dermatologists treating women with hair loss; listen and focus on the correct diagnosis! I had spironolactone prescribed at too high a starting dose with no tests/blood work/medical history collected: the result was that my already naturally low blood pressure "bottomed out" and left me almost comatose (using the term loosely). Every MD I spoke with failed to test my DHT levels; 15 yrs into my hairloss journey I discovered my DHT was elevated 10x, only to be informed that treatment was not warranted until the levels were much higher! This is my experience with a plethora of MDs in New York City, hailing from such prestigious medical centers as Mount Sinai and New York Presbyterian. The pervading ignorance surrounding female hair loss is horrifying!

      Depends on your hair type
      If you have straight or wavy hair I think a boat bristle is a great way to go. It helps move your natural oils plus any oils you add on down the hair shaft.
      I use a Denman 7 row brush without boar bristles as I have 3c or very curly hair. It helps define my curls and it's surprisingly more gentle on my hair then the Wet brand brush
      Also depending on your hair type is curly -you may want to try untangling your hair very carefully in the shower when it's full of conditioner
      If it's more straight or slightly wavy wait until it's dry then work through starting at the bottom
      Going without heat styling also helps hair. Heat can be drying
      Depending on length it can be fun to experiment with heatless rag or pin curls, braiding hair while damp then going to bed with it in those braids, or using granny Velcro curlers. Protective stylings can help too like loose buns, braids, box braids , head wraps etc. Basically experiment with what works for you your hair type and your lifestyle.

    I had a receding hairline and thinning all around the front. I just noticed a couple weeks ago that I have a bunch of new hair growth! I'm convinced the reason it's regrowing is because I improved my diet. Since February (it's now mid-November), I've been eating high quality proteins (grass-fed beef and dairy, organic pasture raised eggs and chicken with the skin, organic no sugar added pork, and sometimes wild caught salmon) plus a big salad every day. I'm pretty sure the zinc, iron, fat/collagen and biotin from the proteins as well as the silica and folate from the vegetables is what did it. I also greatly reduced my bad habit of eating out so much, which I think was causing my system to spend its resources on fighting inflammation from cheap seed oils that commercial food is cooked with, instead of wasting its resources on my hair. Anyway, before you spend a ton of money on treatments and supplements, maybe try repairing your hair through nutritious food first - you've got to eat anyway and you might as well spend your money on that. Good luck everyone, I still have a ways to go and I know how devastating this is.

    My hair had always been a huge part of my identity. It was always complimented by others and I never had to worry. Until recently when I’ve noticed some thinning at the part, and sunburns with scalp showing in the summer. My mum and sister have experienced hair loss and my mum had scarring alopecia. Suddenly I’m confronted with so much fear that I will also experience this. It’s barely noticeable, but that goes to show how much we value our hair and how devastating it can be to consider losing it, especially as a woman. I’m very grateful that I’ve caught this early, and I’m taking steps to get a blood test and then see a dermatologist. I know I had covid more than once in 2022, I dyed my hair and noticed excess shedding after that, and I have a past of some extreme dieting, so I’m sure there is more than one factor involved. My dad has amazing hair which has only recently started to thin a little in his 60s, so hopefully I’m riding on some of those genes.

Minoxidil, red light or microneedleing by themselves were not able to stop the hair loss. Together, not only did my hair loss stop, but I’m now growing hair. To give a short history: I’ve been losing hair all my life, in waves. Some years were worse than others, but it got really bad in my 40s. By that time, I couldn’t afford to lose any more hair in any event, so I had to come up with a strategy.

    I'm a female and I started slowly but gradually losing hair in my temple area maybe 2 yrs ago. I was also getting a lot more hair clogging my shower drain, and coming out in my brush. I went to my derm who did the pull test, and I tested positive in every area except the crown. She had me start topical liquid minoxidil, and Hair La Vie vitamins. By 3 to 4 months in I noticed a massive difference. My hair wasn't falling out anymore and I could see new regrowth along my front and temple hairline. I dropped my minoxidil to once a day after the first 5 months. And I had amazing thick hair (as it had always been) for about a year. Then as if out of nowhere my hair started falling out again. It's now worse than it's ever been. The only area that hasn't thinned is the very top of my head. And I've never stopped my vitamins or the minoxidil. I don't get it. It's super depressing. Every time I think about my hair I get depressed. And the only thing I can think of that changed is I was put on a blood thinner. But my vascular dr reassures me it shouldn't affect my hair because of the type it is. So I'm at a loss. Wish I had an answer. I will say my mom's hair thinned out considerably once she got in her 50s. But I just turned 42. So idk, maybe it's genetic and I have no hope.

I'm done on hair vitamins, I'm using natural hair oils only from crisan hair and topical biotin hair serum from difeel. I see thickness improvement and shedding gradually slowing. Its all hormone related, high testosterone dht androgens, coupled with stress which makes everything worse worrying about lossing your hair. I'm thankful fir natural remedies and not progressed hair loss at least. Vinegar hair rinse helps purify the scalp and strengthen hair. Stay away from sulfates in shampoos it doesn't help with hair loss but accelerates the process. Ive also had oily roots dry ends my whole life, so clarifying shampoos once a week will help.

      Hi. Before you start to use a lower concentration and for lesser days, talk to your dermatologist first, cause it can reverse the results.
      From my experience, go with the potent concentration, 5%.
      About the hair face, yeap, I have experienced it to, so I have some tips. Sleep with something covering your hair, to avoid the minoxidil to go to your pillow and rube your face. Also, to remove those extra face hairs I use the dermaplaning blade. If you dont know what it is, I recomend you check Dra. Dray videos about it or Cassandra Banckson videos.

    This is a great post. I am a black woman who wore wigs for 12 years as a fashion accessory. Of course, I didn't realise the damage I was causing until my hair started breaking. Then I read about the miracles of onion juice, which caused the worst damage as my hair fell out in handfuls. For the past two years, I have stopped wearing wigs using homemade products and started to use high street products like olive oil, castor oil and leave-in conditioners. My hair improved greatly, but the two bald spots I inherited from wearing wigs and using onion juice rinse never fully recovered. My crown is still thin. My bald spots on each side of my head are fairly visible, too. You mentioned the health of nails, which I found very intriguing because if you see how my nails grow long, you'll never believe they belonged to me. I am 52, and my iron is good, but my vitamin D was low in my recent bloodwork. So, I guess if the bald spots still haven't grown back properly, they never will, right? I've lost all hope.

    I would not qualify for 'hairloss' in the US but in Korea , yep. Ever since I was in my mid 20s, I felt my hair was not as thick and strong as it was in my teens, which is the case of 99.99999 percent of people. My dermatologist said, hair is an extension of your scalp. We all age after 18, as does our hair. For people who do not have genetic disorders..but just growing old.. our hair thins since we are 18. Our hair grows slower, and takes longer to come back after it falls out, loses shine and luster bit by bit and than gradually does not come back at all. If you look in the mirror and think, I like my hair right now, its time to start minoxidil, is what he told me. Topical Minoxidil turns back the clock a few years and keeps things as they are. I was born with the thickest hair I had ever seen on a person, and it still is very thick, just not as much as it was in my 20s. I started minoxidil this year as well as supplements for the scalp and hair (biotin and whatnot) and my hair is shiny and thick as it was in my 20s. Oh I am 39

My dermatologist, along with other doctors, refrain from prescribing it to women due to the significant risk of breast cancer.

      Oral minoxidil unfortunately wasn't worth it for me. My hair only got thicker for couple of months, nothing new grew back. And my face after over two years after i stopped it is still hairy. Unfortunately I'm blond, so I can't laser it off. The side effects, including face and neck hair, and quite substantial water retention - my anckles were huge. I've been on spironol and finasteride for about 8 years tho. The androgen alopecia was reversed, the frontal fibrosing alopecia was stopped, with minimal gains. Recently after micro needling it got little better.

    have hair loss at the temples and harline. It started from having pneumonia and being on prednisone for 5 months. I lost eyebrows, so had micro blading, which I hate. My eyelashes fell out, but I use Latisse and currently use a cheap lash serum, Lavish Lash, which works. For no reason, the eyebrows are growing back. have weird patchy hair growth at my temples now. I'm using minxodil 5% with Tretoin, which gives me a really nice rash, but this is the most growth I;ve had since 2018. also had telogen effluvium from Covid. A lot of hair came out and it was so tangled, I cut most of it off. This was in 2020. It's since grown almost to my waist. I had prp for that but prp did not help the temple loss

    I've never been to a dermatologist specifically but now I'm thinking about that.
    Apparently I don't have androgenic alopecia because I lost hair all over my head, and my eyebrows are almost gone too. I also have excess hair on my face and arms that would suggest hormonal imbalance, but the family doctor I went asked for bloodwork to see my hormonal level and everything was fine, I did ultrasound to check my ovaries, it's all fine, thyroid is fine. So I kind of gave up, if there was nothing wrong, there's nothing to fix.
    But it just keeps getting worse 😢

      It turns out that when it comes to blood work to test hormones,one needs a specific comprehensive blood panel test. Many doctors are too lazy to orders that test. Also,your family doctor should have sent you to an endocrinologist ! It's so hard to find a good doctor or endocrinologist at all, really.

    Body changes caused low estrogen levels. After several years of very low estrogen, began having frontal fibrosing alopecia (hair line was receding and some diffuse thinning on the crown). After 4 years of this hair loss, got on 2.5 mg per day finasteride. Good results.
    Dermatologist wanted to do a punch biopsy to see the cause of the inflammation, but I was afraid of the scar that would cause.

I have constant tooth abscesses and I'm 99% positive it'd causing all over hair loss. I use to have super thick hair and now it's falling out worse and worse. I don't think there's any hope until I get my teeth fixed. I just hope it won't be too late to reverse it.

I'll probably have hair transplant after I reach my goal weight. For now, I'm taking anti DHT hair capsules with Biotin and zinc and other supplements. I also use hair fibersnto mask the thinning areas. I have wigs too that I can wear if I want to. I have already accepted my hair is thin.

      If your taking oral saw palmetto for hair loss, and it’s working dose of 500 mg a day, is it safe long term and if you stop will your hair fall out again? I might need a backup plan
