Hey guys this is my first time actively trying to re-grow hair!!!
I'm a 23 year old guy and have been experiencing hair loss for about 2-3 years now. Ive been experiencing it mostly in the frontal areas near the temples, i have no hair loss on the crown or the vertex. I still have PLENTY of hair its just very thin in the frontal area especially with hair longer then an inch. After shaving off my hair last week i noticed my hair is growing very slow in the frontal area and very thin.
My hair has stopped falling out BUT last year i had put on a lot of weight due to stress and work by eating tons of sugary and processed foods. That is when I experienced MAJOR hair loss in a period of few weeks! I would simply pull on the frontal area and it would fall out. I believe my diet and life style is the reason for this happening at such an accelerated pace. How ever a year later my hair loss has stopped and really i feel i just need to regrow it with minox.
For the last few weeks I've began exercising hour a day and changed my diet to a strict, vegetables, fruits, and lean meats diet and have lost quite a lot of weight.
As for my hair routine this is what ive been doing for a week now:
1- 5% minoxidil/rogaine 2 times a day
2- Nizoral shampoo
3- Mega Men nutrients
4- Biotin, MsM, Saw palmetto supplements
I've been considering Propecia but feel its not necessary since i haven't experienced hair loss for a year now and feel i just need to re-stimulate growth in that region with minoxidil and vitamins... Is this okay for me to assume? Or will the hair loss continue without fin?
Questions-
1- Will rogaine work on the frontal region of my hair?
2- Why is my frontal hair area growing so slow what does this mean? Do i have genetic balding? And what can i do to make it grow faster
3- Has my hair loss ended since none has fallen for over a year? (so i dont need fin?)
4- IM thinking of adding Nioxin or Foltene to my routine is this too many drugs?
5- Should i add any vitamins or stop taking certain vitamins that i mentioned?
THANK YOU
