Chemo took my hair 3 times. When it grew back it became really thin. Not to mention it was traumatizing lol. This is my progress with only 5% minoxidil, I’ve bought a needler and I used it last week. I’m not too sure how often and when to use it though.
When I was 24(2021) I had my first Chemo but before that I was a norwood 3 and a solid strong crown region, just 4 months after Chemo I was a norwood 4 ish with diffuse thinning on crown and midscalp, and those region never regrew.
Fast forward 2024
been on fin for a year and Topical Fin 0.1% + topical min 5% 1ml + an HT on Hairline alone still my Diffuse thinning on crown didn’t resolve fully but it got better like 50% with less scalp visibility
I’m 25 right now and my treatment was 5 years. I did have a full head of hair but it definitely thinned probably due to stress during the pandemic. I was finishing chemo and scared of covid lol. I feel like I see progress but idk, I definitely feel small hairs on my scalp now. What brand of topical Fin are you using? I’m scared of pill form because of the side effects.
