My hair loss started at 5 months before i turned 18, i think it was mainly because of my sleep(I’d sleep like 6 hrs everyday and play games all day). Iwas consistently oiling my hairs using rosemary,jojoba, olive, castor oil etc but nothing worked. After i turned 18 60% of my hairs were gone, then i started using minoxidil 5%, got insane results under 4 months, then i kinda grew my hair out for a while. Then boom, i had went thru a mental breakdown and my sleep schedule got shit again, then i noticed that my crown is okay but my temples are still receding slowly. Ive done alot of research and now im on a new hair care routine, im using a 1mm derma stamp+minoxidil+tretinoin. Its been 50 days since i started this routine. I also added zinc+vit d+omega 3 suppliments (without prescription).i wanna add finasteride as my last line of defense. Finasteride is the strongest hair growth treatment but ive heard in studies it shows that finasteride can slow down genetic hair fall for about 5-10 yrs and more for some ppl. Suppose i start finasteride at 19(now) what am i supposed to do if my hairs start falling again at 25?
what should i do then? Switch to dut? What about side effects? Thats why im keeping fin
asteride as my last card but idk what to do then thats why im trying to delay finasteride. Im gonna stick to my routine now and do drop suggestion if ya have any for me :-:
You’re not losing your hair because of sleep, you’re losing your hair because you have androgenic alopecia. Finasteride/Dutasteride are the only drugs that stop hairloss for androgenic alopecia, and they stop it for life in 99% of people. Minoxidil adds and thickens hair. The rest is insignificant. And you’re unlikely to have any side effects on fin/dut. GL
rosemary, jojoba, olive castor oil, zinc whatever the hell is this lol . AGA only has 2 treatments 1)minoxidil and 2)finasteride/dutasteride (dutasteride is not yet fda approved for aga though it is safe for bph). Rest is bullshit. If you prefer to hop on these two treatments, always consult a doctor and get your blood tests etc. done. ALWAYS!
Ignore all natural oils, herbs, remedies whatever. There is a reason modern medicine and chemistry etc. exists as a science but ancient medicine or alchemy no longer does. Homoepathic/alternative medicine is bullshit. Modern science has learnt this centuries ago but still there exists gullible people and those who want to profit off of those people. Stick with rationality, science and evidence.
also get off that derma stamp thing, you may end up ruining your future hairtransplant if all else fails. don’t cause scars in your scalp, keep the hair follicles intact at all costs. if dut+min etc. don’t work, you should accept your fate and embrace baldness, like I do right now to an extent anyways
