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. ---

That’s great! How is the minoxidil working? How long did it take for your hair to grow? ---

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. ---

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. ---
