I reversed my hair loss without Finasteride

[Jay07]

Samdee, do you brush your hair?

[wr985]

I've been on Fin and Minox for couple of months, added this Emu oil couple of weeks ago, I'm not saying its happened because of this but I have one long hair growing bang in the middle of my receded temples, there hasn't been any hair there for 7 years.

Samdee, do you brush your hair?

Yes I do, in the morning and before i put on minox. Why?

Was wondering if that was in your method? Do you do it aggressively?

[Recederrr]

Yes, you are young and you are at the stage in your life where inflimation and be the prime culprit in your HL. Emu oil is definitely worth a shot.

I apply a little on my hairline once a night before sleep.. I miss a day on average, once a week. I put on minox, then emu oil. After time, little blonde hairs sprout. At first, they portray rather spaztic growth behaviour(I assume the motor of the follicle is undergoing a repair process). Given time, they underdo a normal growing process(as well as correct color pigment). This process keeps repeating itself over time. It's quite interesting.

How are you getting on samdee? I have been looking into adding in nettle to my regime. I am a little confused regarding stinging nettle/nettle leaf/nettle root. Whats the difference? Do you take all three?

I know you don't like to post links to what you use because people will think you are selling stuff but I think it is obvious you are not. Please can you say what nettle products you are using?

Hey, hope all is well. I read that it's the root that has the real effect. Nettle leaf if good for the hair but not in a direct hair loss kind of way. I take both bc, why not.

But its nettle root you want. Inhibits DHT and Inhibits Aromatase, that is why I find nettle root important.

Great thread, I remember reading this a while ago and learning about emu oil for the first time. How's that black tea extract working out for you? If I choose to stop finasteride again, black tea extract is what I plan on replacing it with based on that study on mice. Also, could you pm me the nettle root you use? I'm not sure if zinc will be enough to keep my estrogen levels down while on fin, so I think I'll try the nettle. Thanks~

Thanks for the reply. How are you getting on with your regime? Still having good results?

Is this okay for nettle root? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Swanson-Stin...A2VZT9NOXZRONS

Don't want to but the wrong thing!

Emu oil directly on the scalp? Is this not very gross to apply?

[samdee]

Hey, those are the pills I use. I noticed a serious stop of shedding with Black tea.

[TO YOUNG TO RETIRE]

3) Eating healthy, you are what you eat. I think people will begin to learn that food plays a greater role than we think and it requires a much greater discipline to implement.

You are completeley ignorant about what causes baldness!

It is a GENETIC predisposition, which you cannot change through lifestyle choices.

I get personally offended when people on forums, or in real life, imply that my baldness is due to the fact that I "must be lazy" and have "let myself go". Especially considering that lots of bald people keep themselves in great shape (including myself).

Its like saying that a person with cystic fibrosis should take some wheatgrass and coconut oil extract, its ridiculous.

The funny thing is that if all that crap works then you could have simplified your routine greatly and processed a whole lot less pills through your body if you just took the finasteride to begin with. Not to mention if your hair loss is better I bet your hormone profile looks similar to finasteride anyways. Your just lowering DHT in a different way its not some magical thing your taking tons of stuff that MIGHT help with DHT in some way.

You are likely correct. I'll take Fin if all this fails. I'm scared of permanent side effects, have not really heard of such in natural supplements.

That's why i'm doing all this.
