Hair loss and regrowth

I have androgenic alopecia and i was under severe stress last year so a lot of my hair fell out in female pattern baldness. I was already balding from hormones but it got real bad last year. I was embarassed. I would feel a feew hair blowing innthe wind on the top of my hair and noticed the sun gleaming off my scalp. As a eoman hair is deeply important to me.

Anyway i got put on minoxidil and spironolatone and my hair is almost back to normal!! I am so thrilled. I have that bit of confidence back.

It took like 7-8 months to really see progress but its working amazingly well

I tried minox B4 for 6 months. Didn’t work for me. Currently using rosemary oil.

Thats great. Tbh I wish I could have long hair again but my genetics fucked up the front hair so whenever I grow it out, it looks awfully diffused there… I dunno if its worth the financial hassle to experiment with hair loss products when it might not work.

Mine grew back after I reduced my anxiety and stress levels.

Apparently there was one study that compared both minox and rosemary, and rosemary did infact cause regrowth n thickening.

For me it’s made no difference so far, but I’m gonna stick to it.

Caffeine might help with hair growth when topical.

Supposedly blocks dht.
