I haven’t seen much about hairloss in this forum so I’ve decided to make a thread to help those who are suffering of MPB.
So from all the research I’ve done, I’ve come to the conclusion that hair loss is cause by the 3 things (I could be wrong we still don’t know what causes hairloss which is why we haven’t found a cure for it) DHT, Internal inflammation and external inflammation. If DHT was the only reason behind hairloss finasteride alone would be enough yet there’s people who take finasteride and still lose hair. This means hairloss is cause by multiple things not just DHT.
SOLUTION:
Get products that help with DHT and scalp inflammation.
For DHT:
Finasteride. It’s one of the few FDA approved drugs for hairloss. Study shows 2-3 percent of people who take finasteride experience side effects. Many of the people who experienced in this study kept on taking finasteride as they were satisfied with the results and eventually their side effects went away. The people who quit the drug due to side effects reported that their side effects also went away after quitting. Finasteride also seems to be effective long term as study shows that after 10 years, 86 percent of men using finasteride were above baseline.
Hair Regrowth:
Minoxidil. It’s also FDA approved. It helps the hair grow and I would recommend the 5%. Side effects may include wrinkles so don’t let it drip or get on your face. Make sure to apply it 2-3 hours before you go to sleep so it doesn’t get on your pillow and then on your face.
Dermarolling. If you’re not responding to minoxidil, I would recommend to dermaroll before applying minoxidil as it will help absorb minoxidil and basically make you a good responder. When dermarolling it’s important to clean your dermaroller and don’t press too hard.
SCALP INFLAMMATION:
Ketoconazole. I would recommend a shampoo with Ketoconazole (regenepure dr,nizoral).
If you have bad external inflammation I would also recommend an egg white hair mask.
For internal inflammation it’s mostly supplements.
Here’s some of the stuff that helps with internal inflammation.
Curcumin, Ginkgo Biloba Extract, Stinging Nettle Extract, Green tea extract, Fish oil, Borage Oil, Perilla Oil, Perilla leaf extract, grape seed extract and vitamin E.
You don’t have to buy every supplement on the list however get whatever helps with your inflammation.To sum it up What’s most important is solving DHT (finasteride), Hair regrowth (Minoxidil, maybe dermarolling), and inflammation (Ketoconazole shampoo, supplements to help with inflammation).
