Hi guys, I know there have been a fair few posts like this, but I am wanting to start a proper one with good Information for all the guys on here suffering from hair loss and what has helped them (or made things worse)
I am currently taking Finasteride (never had any sides from it, been 2+ years) and Minoxidil oral form both at 1mg (the topical was irritating my skin too much unfortunately) I have been on it from about 5 months (this particular combo) and the last 4 weeks have been shedding like crazy, I literally can stand over the sink and rough my hair up and lose up to 100.
I have spoken to my hairdresser about it, but she doesnt seem to think its a big deal and said she can see little hairs where I am losing lots... so hopefully its just an exaggerated shed to make way for new hairs.
So what do you guys do that has helped you with hair loss/hair growth? any supplements or routines that arent that well known?
I have started taking Niacin to help promote blood flow to the scalp along side dermarolling once a week with a .5mm roller, I also take a collagen supplement after this to help with the recovery, I am waiting on the 1.5mm to come in then will swap them.
I also bought two 36W lamps, 6 X 660nm Red lights and 6 X 850nm lights on each one and use them on my head for 10-15 mins a day when I can, these are apparently the best wave lengths as they penetrate the skin and promote collagen/blood flow and other benefits.
