So back in November I started noticing a lot of hair in the shower, I just attributed it to the fact I had been growing the top of my head out for almost a year, and I would pick it out in the shower so I just figured just loose hair falling out. But then I started noticing that the corners of my hairline were shorter than the rest, and then my friend pointed it out in early January and I was like fck I really am balding, I never thought it’d happen to me. My dad’s hair didn’t fall out nor has his hairline receded, my uncles on both side all good hair. But then I realized my older brother hairline was destroyed.
So in mid January I started using Finasteride, minoxidil, Jamaican black castor oil mixed with peppermint essential oil, derma rolling once a week, and using the shampoo nizoral. My hairline is basically back to normal. Although it’s still a little thin, but I believe by the end of the year even that will be taken care of. Barely any hair when I shower now.
In the end you have to be proactive when you first notice it.

Mine just started going back a few months ago. Hair almost feels painful to touch in the standard male pattern baldness areas. Also oily. Seems to go away when I apply azelaic acid. Minoxidil alone doesn't work, or it does but only sometimes. Dermal rolling alone doesn't seem to work either, I think its the DHT. Read that it inhibits skin healing also. I think keeping DHT low is the first step, then regrowth can happen with derma rolling and minoxidil.
That castor oil you take OP might help reduce DHT. I think it acts as a precursor to prostaglandin e2 and that reduces prostaglandin d2 which is implicated in balding.https://stm.sciencemag.org/content/4/126/126ra34.short
This is interesting https://www.sciencedirect.com/scienc...06987714000279
Androgenic alopecia, a condition characterized by increased levels of DHT could have been selected for due to the benefits that prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) has on the prostate. A DHT metabolite can increase the transcription of prostaglandin D2 synthase through estrogen receptor beta. The increase of PGD2 can decrease the risk of prostate cancer and proliferation of prostate cancer cells. Therefore, the mechanisms behind male pattern baldness may also curtail the advancement of prostate cancer.
So if you're balding, you may have the beginnings of prostate cancer? I might be jumping to conclusions but seems somewhat logicalLast edited by rootcon; Today at 07:48 AM.
