Well when I was around 23 , I realised that I have been loosing hair . Didnt have much idea about what I should have done at the time when I finally came across someone who offered homeopathy treatment that claimed to control hair loss . That went on for few years where my hairloss had reduced a bit . Meanwhile I came across a general physician who told me about Finasteride and I also became aware of Minoxidil . Not knowing the true improtance of Finasteride I was on and off it irregularly and since I felt that Minoxidil was causing irritation I didnt continue long with it . I wish I had followed both of these regularly now . I also came across a doctor who asked me to have some multivitamins to maintain good hair health . I have been doing that now for almost 10 yrs , have been a bit irregular in between but off late I am having them religiously. One fine day when I could no longer put up with the thinning hair that I had I decided to do some more reasearch on the internet and came across concealing options like Dermatch , I used them too but it had its limitations . Finally I went for a HT and it wasnt done well enough . Problems from the same are put up in a thread that I started on joining .But after this I seriously started following my regimen for using Finasteride and Minoxidil and I can say that this is the only thing that actually made my exisiting natural hair better and thicker compared to previously , its the thing which I think truly gave me some results . I have also used Toppik Fibers and I feel that it just pretty much camoflauges , I used their thicking shampoo / conditioner , hair fattner etc but none gave any particular results I feel and Ive been off them since . Now I am considering HT#2 and came across this forum while I was trying to find a good surgeon in my region .
So now I am on
Finasteride 1 mg
Minoxidil 5% twice a day
Homeopathy
Multi Vitamins
Protein Shake ( To maintain the health of exisiting hair )
Laser Comb ( on and off )
