Hi All,
just a little bit about myself
i've been losing hair since 5 years ago at age 21 (WTF!) which was shocking to me espeically at such a young age. it occurred almost in 1 month duration where i lost an extensive amount of hair to the point where i was able to tell something was wrong. since it happened so fast, i assume it wasn't MPB, and it was going to grow it back so i decided to just let it sit naturally, after 6 months, it did grew back a little bit but it was no where near where it was. Base on the hairloss , i believe i do have MPB
i've been trying several things but mostly on the natural end such as eating healthier, sleeping earlier and took supplements such as fish oil, vitamin B, saw palmetto(recently dropped).
2 years ago, i decided to take things up a notch and started applying generic minoxidil (5%) which i saw very little results.
Current routine minoxdil (5%) twice a day, supplements: fish oil,vitamin b.
Current progress: definitely not more than before, and it feels like the hair loss cycle is going to start again
i am just wondering are there any success stories where people grew back a good amount of their hair from a thinning state?
feels like most proven approaches (minoxdil and propecia) only helps you to maintain, and transplant can't really be done to to thinning patients.
what other alternatives are there for people that are thinning ?
sorry about the vent, appreciate your help in advance
