A mistery for me is how DHT will cause hairloss on the head, but body hair remains, I wish it was the opposite 😢
You are literally me 😮
Simple, the head folicules have receptors for it
i'm 25 and i'm bald 🤷🏻🤷🏻
You’re absolutely correct
It's called androgen receptors
Thanks so much. This is one of the questions i asked. So glad that you read your viewers requests. One of the best channels out there by far for hair loss treatments
There are so many hair related channels out there and lot of them trying to gain a profit rather than telling the truth thanks a lot for all the great informative videos and professional advice .
I so agree.
Quality of information on this channel is outstanding ... This is really the best channel on Hair...
This is why I respect this channel, you try to have an objective view of the subjects you discuss. Thanks for the video.
Interesting for sure. Nice to hear from a reliable source. Thankyou xxx 💕❤💞
Hi
i love this channel! ... great unbiased info.
Clear, concise and to the point. Excellent thank you 👍
Thanks!
Great video again! Keep up the good work!
Hello Doctor. You’re producing great shows. Just two weeks ago I had my FUE procedure. My question to you is, can I start using mix of oils such as rosemary, peppermint with a carrier oil to stimulate the scalp for better hair growth. On both donor and receiving areas.
Some surgeons suggests wait for at least 2-3 months and some suggest you can start after two weeks.
Can you please advise on this?
Other quick question is, how long should I wait to start using minoxidil foam after the surgery.
Thanks!
Another amazingly helpful video! THANK YOU.
Very good explanation and clarification of the real effect of Saw Palmetto vs. finasteride
Thanks for covering that topic, awesome as always.
Thanks!
Thanks for your videos doctor! they are greatly appreciated.
This Doctor is always the truth. Keep it up man and more power to you.
Great video. Flaxseed lignans are suppose to block DHT too. Also, ya'll should do a video on Stem cells topically and stem cell hair transplants
I do not think that either exist as per the dictionary definition of what those terms imply.
Topical stem cells? 🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣@@ytsux9259
Very informative thanks very much. I was asking the same question.
Thanks for addressing this
You are welcome!
Can you do a video about essential oils for hair loss, like How and when to use it. Keep up with the good work. Love how you are trying to help with such good and precise info.
Essential oils won't do shit
@@swagsukeuchiha7599 peppermint oil has been studied to increase blood flow.
@@thecanadakid7622 Pepperment oil is equivalent of 1 or 2 % minoxidil its good for woman only not for men
@@pagenotfound-no it's not !!!!
@@DeanMorrissey-fu1yf blood flow theory is bad. Block dht or loose ur hair. Easy as that Mate.
Hi doctor,thank you for all your informative vids, they help us a lot.. just wanna ask, what is your opinion about “natural remedy” like application of onion on the scalp?
I've heard about garlic. Did it for a while, to no avail.
Great video and amazing explanation no one on TH-cam did this before in this accurate way, Dr do you recommend using saw palmetto with fin since it has been able to block the receptors like 3 days a week fin 1mg and everyday saw palmetto or maybe this will increase the chance of side effects? /Keep going Drs
Go for Saw but if stops working maybe finastride and choose correct type that he mentions if you do Good luck ❤
I have been waiting for your video on Saw palmetto
Thanks.
a very good explanation for saw palmetto except that you did not mention the best application regarding that because it comes as a form of liquid for external use and tablets for internal use as well as treating prostate problems as well when taking the capsules
thank you was very helpful doc. :)
your channel is great and really helpful!
Love how u pronounce your name though haha
I dont have problem of hair loss, but can I drink saw palmetto tea bag for health ?! Or there will be side effects?!
Saw palmetto works
I do say it from first hand experience
It does work
Takes about 2 - 4 weeks to notice effects
Ever since I started, my hair stopped falling out
What is your daily dose of saw palmetto?
You’re lying the idea of shedding stopping after 2-4 weeks when the life cycle of a hair is several months is absurd
still working?
any update ! still working !
@@JohnDoe-ix6my U know that dht speeds up the anagen phase making the hair shed sooner than they would otherwise
Dr Jayaprakash, if you don't mind telling, what's your regimen? How do you keep and maintain your "lovely locks?" 😀
Very happy with the video
Thanks for this information
doctor please make a video on how caffeine affect hair growth/ hair loss... great work keep posting videos ...thanks for your generous effort for spreading the word
coffe is bad for hair right
Yes it's bad I stop drink
@@marrydisda2560 why they invented coffee if is a bad
Page Not Found
That’s silly. Coffee isn’t bad for the hair. If anything, it’s probably good for the hair. Heavy Coffee drinkers are correlated with good overall health, research shows. Coffee is full of nutrition and antioxidants. Dr. Ray Peat has done some very good papers on coffee.
@@BlahBlahPoop617 dont get mad im just asking
What do you think if I use saw Palmetto Topic instead of take the pill. Should it works as well?
hello, I have long hair , But Oily scalp, and I want to use castor oil for hair loss and hair regrowth , Also saw palmetto shampoo and oils serum , how can I do it ? Also I am microneedling ( derma pen ) my hairline and temples, can you tell me a Castor oil and saw palmetto protocol including microneedling? , how to, how many times , when to ? , thank you !
Thank you, Dr. Jayaprekash. Very useful.
Sir please make a video on whether applying onion juice on bald area really works or not. There are lot of theories circulating in TH-cam about onion juice. Would be very helpful if we get some insights on it.
No it does not
Please make a video on PRP and Exosome therapy. Also does derma rolling damage hair follicles that might also affect future hair transplants?
Is it true ?
If no improvement,does it successfully halt the progression?
I would definitely recommend trying Finasteride before taking saw palmetto. I wish I could take finasteride, but sides were too much. However, saw palmetto so far has stabilized my hair loss and surprisingly I did not get any sides (don't have any explanation). I have been using saw palmetto for 8 months. If you are planning to try one, please this is very important: use STANDARDIZED saw palmetto (160 mg x 2 per day), which were used in study. Wish you all best of luck.
what do you mean STANDARDIZED ? do you have any brand recommendation? and after how many months you saw results?
@@Snipercontest Standardized (85%+ fatty acids) can be available in various brands (see ingredient details) depends on your country. It indicates that there is high amount of extraction compare to regular ones. The ones you see in market with 500 mg+ are likely not standardized (and you have to take lots of them to get any benefit). I have not seen any significant gains. It stabilized my hairloss which in itself is good result for me. I used to shed significantly in shower, pillow and other places. After taking this for few months, I do not see much hairloss anywhere. Again, I wish I could take finasteride (lowering dose did not help), but this is still better than nothing. Response may vary from person to person.
@@Justin-vg4kw I dont want to use finasteride, because im afraid about complications and I dont think that hair is a good reason to ruin my health
have you seen an improvmente both to vertex and front or only vertex?
When you initially took it did you notice hair shedding/more hair fall and how long did it take till you notice hair fall stop
Doctor, what do you think about tension is the surrounding scalp muscles? Do you think it might influence hair loss treatment?
Thanks for this video! Can you discuss about RU-58841 in any of your upcoming videos? It would be really helpful! Thanks again!
Hi so happy I came across these videos, so informative! Question I have is on "DHT blocking" supplements. Like many I am concerned with side affects of fin and wondering if there is content that speaks to these supplements. In doing some research I was going to try Propidren, anyone have any experience taking these types of supplements?
Was waiting for this video, thanks a lot for the info.
You are welcome!
Thanks to share this information I like your video I easily understand your explanation ❤
Glad it was helpful!
Hello and thanks a lot for making such informative videos. Seeing your videos i went to a dermatologist and was diagnosed with stage3 progressing to stage 4 male pattern baldness.. i have been prescribed hairserum and minoxidil both morning and night can i take both at different times or should i just take minoxidil? Thanks in advance
Do DHEA supplements cause hair loss through a similar process?
Best way to consume Saw Palmetto? Oral or topical application?
I’d try topical first and see how well you tolerate it
What about Rosemary Oil?
There have apparently been some studies that show that it can have an effect similar to Minoxidil.
Would be great to see a video and hear your opinions on that.
Yeh i have the same question. A video about rosemary oil would be great
That goes with peppermint oil. There’s a few studies that prove peppermint oil has a similar if not better effect than minoxidil. This is the same with rosemary oil
@@ohfifi Would be great to hear "The Hair Loss Shows" opinion. Saw Palmetto also has a lot of videos stating benefits but this video cleared everything. These guys make videos which are pretty transparent and free from fluff.
Than You so much for this video! My question is: as it is commonly prescribed by urologists to reduce synthoms of prostatic hipertrophy, it seems having a study behind, specifically in the only one approved drug with the name of PERMIXON ®. I know it is a hard question to receive a "scientific" answer, but.. what about increasing the dose? More is not necessairy better, I know, but if Finasteride 1 mg blocks 70% of dht conversion and saw palmetto (theorically) blocks 40%, why do not try a 320 x 2 mg of Saw Palmetto? Thank You!
Could you make a video on Azelaic Acid as a DHT blocker please? Thank you!
Thanks for such informative video!!!
I would like to know if saw pallmeto, can increase the sprem count and mobility. And will it help for male fertility...
Thanks

Saw Palmetto & Stinging Nettle are already a remedy to help with Prostate issues. The fact it blocks DHT is just a bonus.
Safety issues as with everything - You need to Cycle. Never follow any drug or supplement dosage, either take half, or take for 3 days and stop for 2 days, keep cycling dosages for 2-3 months, than take a resting period of at least a month, and resume.
Avoid law of accomodation as well
Are you a medical doctor? Giving out baseless medical advice is quite stupid
@@robertlouisebaker-hyde1267 Educate yourself and don't trust anyone blindly, even if it's a doctor
@@robertlouisebaker-hyde1267 hee may not be but it’s not wrong info he is giving out, saw palmetto is deemed safe at recommended dosages seen in small trials but it hasn’t been studied as extensively as finasteride so the long term effects of saw palmetto and it’s potential side effects are unknown that’s why you shouldn’t just blast it into your system also why it’s not recommended
@@robertlouisebaker-hyde1267my thoughts EXACTLY
Hi doctor i have question and request of course,
Q: are peomix pappermint essential oil mix with jojoba oil can use to grow hair especially in head not beard, because
Req: i hope Doctor can make video to review this , thank you very much
I have no idea about essential oils. I think it will be safe to assume that we won't be making a video on that. Sorry.
@@TheHairLossShow What about Magnesium oil, which breaks up calcification
Hello Dr. Jayaprakash, I am a regular viewer of your youtube channel. Thanks for the great info. I have a question, i heard over period (say after 2-3 years of usage or longer period) of time minoxidil 5% will not have any effect is that true.
The efficacy may diminish over time. Not because of any resistance to the medication but more so because of the process of miniaturization that is still continuing.
@@TheHairLossShow thanks doctor, if this is the case then if I combine topical minoxidil with oral finesteride then I hope there wont be any difference in efficacy. Please advise.
Saw palmetto increases libido; does for me. No side effects for me. Agree that studies haven't been done on it bc no money for pharma in a natural product. Finasteride had very significant/severe brain fog negative side effects for me. Nizoral and 2% prescription version thereof have been helpful for me and I can feel them working when I use them 2x/day. Good content on this channel.
💯 FACTS (I reversed my balding & thinning with Saw Palmetto & Rosemary oil!!! W/no side effects)....
@@silverfish1196 hey man, what was your dosage? I just started taking 320 mg a day
True, you get some huge boners, if you sleep on your stomach you levitate from your bed.
@@arshkumar5347 I take 450 and it’s good
@@silverfish1196 What type of saw palmetto supplement have you taken for hair regrowth?
Thank you!
I was taking saw palmetto for around 3 months and it stopped my shedding and had increased hair growth and the hairline , then I have moved onto finasteride and my shedding has came back currently on 3 weeks of finasteride , I’d highly recommend saw palmetto and punkin seed which I was on before changing to finasteride but I’m staying on for now hoping for the shedding to stop as it’s only early
Can you suggest which brand you used or an amazon link ?
Dylan Mitchell any side effects from Finasteride 1mg ?
Why you stopped saw palmeto if it worked?
Igoris cause he want more than that. Obviously everyone else will do the same
What is the best time of day to take Finasteride? Is it better to take before you go to bed or when you wake up since this is when testosterone is highest?
Also what do you think of taking castor oil orally?
In morning. Is best time
I have been taking it for a few days and it's working nice as expected
are you still taking it and any results? only 12 days here.
are you still taking saw palmetto and any results? only 12 days here.
@@David-xt5yg yes it has good result on blocking dht
Does the roller blading, and really help, and are the low grade laser treatments really safe?
This is the doctor that I want
I am taking finasteride. does it make sense to supplement saw palmetto? I take 560 mg in the morning and 560 mg in the evening. Can I increase the dose to 2g a day? Do you let go completely?
Does certain essential oil and carrier oil have any benefits for hair growth? I.e Peppermint, Lavender and Rosemary essential oils used with olive/coconut oil.
Try derma rolling once a week followed by rubbing coconut oil/ peppermint then wash off after an hour or overnight- I’ve heard good things but must do it minimum 3 months
No. Any oil will clog your hair follicles.
Can it be used topically?
hi love your show.... can i switch brands of finasteride? im currently using the brand name propecia.. but im thinking of getting generic ones (5mg) and cut it into 4pcs for saving cost purpose... hope you’ll see my comment and answer my question.. thank you
John Milano Jr. thank you
- what do you think of adding oral dutasteride 0.5 once a week beside topical finasteride that im on right now?
- did you experienced and improvements before with using stemoxydine?
thank you in advance
Abdullah elAttar dutasteride once a week would most likely have great benefits for you
What does it mean if hair grows in other areas (genital, under arms) (especially right after shaving) but not the head?
DHT doesnt seem to affect those hairs anyway
Can you talk about evidence behind Topical Caffine and Topical Biotin?
Saw Palmetto is natural and kinda cheap remedy, even if it has its efficacy proved big companies would not invest in it since its already cheap and common so they would not profit much with it
Yeah, but doesn’t matter because the research still doesn’t show it’s anywhere near as effective as Finasteride..
@@BlahBlahPoop617 It does matter a lot because its use is not compared to finasteride but to avoid its side effects even if its efficacy is not as strong
@@Filipe6090 The point of your original post was that big companies would not invest in it because there isn't much profit to be made. You said nothing about side effects. My response is to your claim as to WHY big companies won't invest big money in it: because it's a weak and useless compared to finasteride. The point had nothing to do with why people choose to use it because it has much less side effects (which is not proven to be true either).
@@BlahBlahPoop617 whatever, if you don't like don't use it
Filipe Fernandez
I don’t. Tried it already a while back.
Is hair transplant even an option for late stage hair loss in males/females (considering they don’t have many hair strands to start off with)
If you have hair in donor area in the back of ur head then yes
Most people do have hair on their back even in higher grades of baldness
thanks for the vid! as a women with hair loss, can we use saw palmetto?
I highly recommend it i lost lots hair after COVID-19 i started with saw palmetto others di not worked for mi
Is it alright to take if you're not suffering from hairloss, as a prophylactic measure?
What about using it topically
Saw Palmetto works great if you have a weak bladder or go to the toilet at night
Thats a prostate issue
@@cornstar1253 nah cuz its only at night ... runs in the family apaz
what about treatment while on TRT? What is recommended to use
Extremely good question. I wonder this too.
I have taken finasteride 1 mg every day for over 2 years. Zero side effects. Stabilized hair loss.
can it be used topically ?
Is it safe to take Saw Palmetto for years?
Hey Doctor! Could you make a video on Nutrafol Men for male pattern baldness?
i see many videos sayin putting onion juice on the scalp helps promote hair regrowth and loosed hair also grows back is this true pls make a video regarded this thank you
Garlic. It's true for alopecia areata. My grandma swore by it. Father lost a dime size hair. It filled in quick. So from a traditional as well as practical stand point its efficacy has been proved to me. It however doesnt work for hormone related hair loss aka male pattern baldness.
@@M.Moadeli123 thanx for your info
how do you get dutesteride? my doctor doesn't prescribe it for his practice any suggestions?
Thank you for this information. Can Saw Palmetto be used in addition to finasteride? Have you heard of the naural supplement Ajuga Reptans? Does it work.? Thanks again, greetings from Italy.
Does Saw Palmetto have a lower chance of side effects compared to finasteride ?
Yup
Used saw Palmetto (stardarized 300mg if I'm correct) can actually increase libido, decrease prostate inflammation, it's an adaptogen. Yet cannot tell if it worked on my hair. It has more.. other known benefits
which is more effectve treatment - Finasteride and SERENOA
Finasteride
Gentlemen having used Saw Palmetto for other reasons touched upon in the blog I can warn/advise you will be up two or three times in the night for a bathroom call.. well you could check your hair at the same time.
Started taking saw palmetto last year for my hairline, about a month or so into it, I lost control of my bladder. Needless to say I quit saw palmetto, and I have started dermarolling instead...
@@danielmoreira1965 but saw palmetto is supposed to be better for things like prostate so im confused 😐
@@jemand7488 Just because something is natural doesn't mean it's good
@Alfa Sigert Definitely working! There are a few really good videos on this channel about it
@Alfa Sigert The DermaRoller costs about $18, does not stop DHT, though it may help to stimulate hair growth
Can it be taken with finasteride without any issues or is there some sort of interaction?
I don't think that it will add to the benefit.
You would have to do some research to see if saw palmetto is metabolized by the same liver enzymes as finasteride is such that the competing medications would make finasteride levels go up or down in the blood. Even so, it would likely add little value as compared to adding a growth stimulant to your finasteride regimen such as minoxidil, stemoxydine, laser cap etc. Taking multiple medications that work through almost the exact same mechanism will have little benefit as diversifying your attack against hair loss.
I asked my doctor about this, and he said it's OK to use finasteride and saw palmetto. He doesn't seem confident that saw palmetto is an effective hair loss treatment because it hasn't been studied to the same extent as finasteride. But it will not be harmful if you take saw palmetto in addition to finasteride.
Do you take it internally or external
I've been taking this for 2 years and expereinced loss of libido and ive been looking for answers. It;s just clicked that this might be the cause. I'm scared to take finasteride for the same reason but i think i'm going to stop this right away
Did youre Libido got better, after stoping saw palmetto? Any updates?
@@marcopascha1652 it did a little but not the same as before
So if hair loss runs in the family (genetics) can finasteride not prevent it? It only prevents hairloss caused by testosterone? Thanks
Same thing. Genetics causes some people's hair to be susceptible to DHT. That's what MPB is from...genetics.
lol do some research buddy never heard nothing so stupid
Hi i would to ask you a question,is it true that hair fall out when you wear a hat ???
No
Hi... Since we are recommended to take 1mg finasteride 3 times per week. Is it OK to take saw palmetto on the other days...which will be 4 times per week?
U ll have side effects of both.. Saw palmetto causes stomach upset....
Faheem Zx hi bro. Do you have side effects from Finasteride 1mg ?

Hello from Cyprus (North Turkish Side ) 😀
Can I use peppermint oil for my Hairline in the morning and minoxidil in the evening since I use minoxidil once a day..Is the peppermint oil going to prevent the minoxidil from penetrating into my hairline?
Studies have shown rosemary oil have the same effect as minoxidil. Could you please make a video about it.. thank you
I’ve been boiling and doing a rinse w rosemary for a few weeks and mixed the oil w some of my argon hair thing
Saw improvements!!
Using minoxidil with the rinse and oil so let’s see if that makes a difference too
@@dominics109 I'd love to hear an update dude
@@TrancEII2010 me too
I took it for about 7 months and it had good results, but not very significant. It slowed hair loss, but definitely did not stop it. I think maybe I should have continued it for about a year. However, I did have a loss of libido. Quite surprisingly, the quality of the sperm increased as well. After I left it I had some pain in my pectoris major muscle and I'm not sure why. Unfortunately, we do not have any studies on it and I would say that 320 mg/daily after a while becomes too much. Maybe people can take 320 mg daily for 6 months and then switch to 160 daily and increase accordingly if they don't see their desired effects. Maybe 160/2x day sort of spreads its possible efficacy better and safer, we just do not know. I'm taking Finasteride (0.25 mg daily) and I wonder if I can add 160 mg of saw palmetto to it, since I know it worked on me, so maybe I can increase the efficacy of blocking DHT without the nasty sides. I think it's worth a shot for people to try it and maybe combine it with Finasteride as well. The worst that can happen is that there won't be any contribution of Saw Palmetto.
Doctor what's the best time for taking saw palmetto supplement. morning or night
Hi, How much do you take? And how long? Do you see results?
So let's be honest in some people it is hard to stop hair loss but in my case I have use saw palmetto along with minoxidil castor oil finastaride bition collagen and it has worked for me but I wasn't losing too much hair only in my front hairline so now it's blooming my hairline is visible and I am happy with it but I tell you the truth if I stop taking this I start to lose it again I believe in some cases it is inevitable, because of there genetics
What about topical saw palmetto sprays? Does saw palmetto absorb in the scalp? Could it be used with oral finasteride?
Ellie Djay Hey, I heavily doubt it would work. If some people dont have benefits from finasteride itself, saw pelmatto most likely wont work at all. Better off with ru58841 tbh
Never heard of a topical saw palmetto extract.
It's in the elixir used by hairguard, i guess its snake oil...
There is a topical from a company called Hairmetto. I've used it for two years on my crown and have maintained what I have, and as a bonus have had some subtle thickening up in the crown area.
I personally have tried adding the liquid from the saw palmetto soft gel supplement (10 soft gels 320mg each to 10oz biotin shampoo) I bought to my shampoo and I did notice some positive results.
hi doc! can i go prp hair treatment while taking saw palmetto?
