Natural Hair Growth Stimulants

Do castor oil or pumpkin seed oil applied topically help at all with hair loss? I know scientifically they are not proven but to add alongside finasteride if you are allergic to topical minox…can they in theory help at all?

I personally havent seen any posts on here or Reddit with any castor oil or pumpkin seed oil success stories. Maybe consider microneedling, but I'm even skeptical of that to a large degree.

I’ve considered that but I’ve heard it can cause scarring which I would assume with time cause hair loss. Just curious if anyone has had any success with it. I would do topical minox but I break out bad on it. Right now just fin and red light therapy

I’ve been using Help Hair Protein Shake, which I think makes my hair appear healthier. You could also try applying copper peptides to your scalp. https://store.reverseskinaging.com/hair-signals-therapy-cream/

Does the help hair shake regrow hair for you or just give it a more full look?

I can definitely attest that it provides a fuller look. But I only started drinking Help Hair Shake after I got my first hair transplant in March 2021, so hard to tell if it regrows hair. I certainly wouldn’t compare the protein shake to minoxidil.

One of the HT doctors developed that shake product right?

I believe  Mwamba. It probably isn’t much different from just normal whey

It’s on their website: Dr. Shapiro created it. It’s supposed to be low-anabolic and different than whey isolate.

All I know from the literature is that the best to expect is that castor oil and pumpkin make for a great Sunday roast.

If you can’t use minoxidil there are a couple options that might work as growth stimulants. Stemoxydine has some studies showing it’s efficacy. Low lever laser light therapy might be another option.
